Public Sector Contract Tendering made easier – by Essex Chambers of Commerce
An astounding £236 billion was spent by public sector bodies purchasing goods and services between 2009 and 2010, according to government figures. Essex Chambers of Commerce is determined to ensure that Essex wins its fair share of this golden profit opportunity.
The government is committed to helping Britain's small and medium businesses compete for a slice of the cake. However the tendering process can be a daunting and sometimes complex hurdle for the uninitiated.
In recognition of these possible barriers, Essex Chambers of Commerce has formed a team of contract tendering professionals to help spearhead the county's drive for success. The new initiative will be known as Tender-Force and will operate through Essex Chambers of Commerce channels. It will be available to Chambers Members and non-members though the former will benefit from enhanced value.
The Tender-Force service will cover all aspects of the procurement process from providing alerts to forthcoming tender opportunities; ensuring that applicant businesses are appropriately ‘business ready' and supporting the completion of the tender itself. The service will be broken down into a clear menu of options from which applicants can select according to their own preferences. In short, Tender-Force is a one-stop-shop that can guide you at any or every step of the way throughout the tendering process.
In announcing the launch of Tender-Force Essex Chambers' Chief Executive Denise Rossiter commented "Public Sector Procurement represents an enormous opportunity for all UK businesses and I am determined to make sure that Essex is well prepared to compete and succeed in securing a sizeable share. We have all the right skills; we have the right mindsets and now we have available the experts to help us make the optimum approach".
If you would like to keep in touch with public sector contract opportunities as they arise; if you would like to improve your organisation's potential for winning more contracts; if you would like support in completing the tendering process or presenting your case, then Tender-Force is the name to look out for.
