Advice and support to East Ayrshire companies bidding for public sector contracts

SCMG are providing advice and support to SME businesses and organisations as part East Ayrshire Council’s beReady Programme. The framework contract has recently been extended and provides local companies with the opportunity to access advice and support to get ready to bid for public sector tenders. Despite many high level national awareness raising initiatives many SMEs are reluctant to get involved and bid for public sector contracts. With some success the beProcurementReady support has debunked many of these myths and participants are now ready to bid, have identified opportunities to bid for and have management tools to help them prioritise and bid for contracts.
