Public Tendering - How do I get started?
An article by Keystone Procurment
From working with SMEs, we know that the first question many ask when it comes to public sector tendering is – how do you get started? A simple question but the answer is not quite as straight forward as throwing the company headlong into the challenge of meeting buyers or commissioners of public sector organisations (or large private sector companies for that matter).
For most SMEs, they need to start by concentrating on what is called below threshold work. These contracts are commissioned where the value of the below threshold work is less than €25,000 for services/supplies and less than €50,000 for works. Below these levels, formal bid processes are rare.
In this article Keystone Procurement provide some useful hints and tips and a template to get you started.
