Have you ever wondered exactly how the Federal government decides who wins their business?
Are you a small business owner with some bidding experience, but want to know more about how to present to Government?
In this recording we look behind the curtain into the process used by Federal government procurement officers to evaluate bids, award contracts, and purchase services.
In this dynamic workshop you will experience the bidding process through the lens of a Government of Canada Contracting Officer/Technical Authority and evaluate sample bids against criteria from a fictitious tender, or request for proposal.
We hosted Alexander Emesh from Procurement Assistance Canada (PAC) who talked about:
Applying best practices in creating your own bids so you stand out from the pack
Recognize common mistakes in bid submission so you avoid them in your submission
Identify how and when to ask questions when submitting a bid
If you want to get the inside scoop on how to improve your bid strategies and win government contracts, then this recording is for you!
