Online Local SME Workshop November - 2020

<p>The Royal Borough of Greenwich wants to enable local companies to bid for contracts and offer jobs to local people. It is also committed to working with business to achieve best value when it buys products, services or work to meet the needs of its resident. Therefore, we are pleased to invite Local SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations to our first Online afternoon SMEs and VCSE organisation workshop on &lsquo;winning work with the Royal Borough of Greenwich&rsquo;. The first session will give you an insight into what the Council requirements are and how to bid for their contracts, both small and large. The first session will also cover how the Royal Borough is opening more opportunities to Local SMEs. It is aimed at business owners and those with responsibility for business development to help you increase your success and grow your business.</p>

<p>We will be running a second session later in November &lsquo;Winning Contracts with Royal Borough of Greenwich. This session will cover how to find opportunities, how to write a winning bid, and how to evidence social value in your tenders.</p>
