Middlesbrough Council spends over £120 million each year buying goods, products and services. We are keen for small and medium sized businesses to become part of the supply chain but understand it can be difficult to know where to start. As a result we are running a second series of free workshops to help you understand the procurement process and prepare your business for successful tendering.

The ability to write a winning tender is important but how do you do it? This practical workshop looks at how to produce bids that meet the requirements, are clear to read and deliver key messages to set you apart from the competition.
