Feb 22 | 10-11:00 am PT
Are you looking to grow your business by selling to the Government of Canada? Low dollar value bids can be a great way to explore federal procurement with smaller contracts.
Low dollar value procurement includes purchases below $25k for goods, or below $40k for services, and can be a profitable growth opportunity for small businesses. Unlike larger purchases that go through a tender process, low dollar value bids are often direct purchases from vendors that also allow you to develop a business relationship with the Government.
On February 22, we’re hosting Stephanie Waters from Procurement Assistance Canada to share how you can use low dollar value procurement to showcase your goods or services without the need for extensive tender responses. You’ll also discover networking strategies so you can connect with key federal decision-makers.
This session will help you to:
- Learn the ropes of selling your services or goods without the need for extensive tender responses.
- Discover effective strategies to optimize your networking within the federal government.
- Gain insights on finding the right people to connect with about your products or services.
- Understand the nuances of sharing information about your offerings with federal decision-makers.
Join us to learn how you can maximize federal government opportunities through low-dollar value procurement!
