How can our procurement guide help?

It will help you:
Learn about or brush up on key topics within procurement.
Challenge your overall approach to tendering through the use of various exercises.
Focus on key areas to improve a specific bid.
Understand the policies and schemes that underpin the energy efficiency and renewables market in Scotland.

You can also view our webinar held in partnership with the supply chain consultancy, SCMG. The webinar goes step-by-step on how to develop a better bid for public sector contracts. It covers how to prepare for bid writing, what you should focus on during the writing process and how to make good use of feedback after you submit your bid.
