Passing the Selection Stage – The Single Procurement Document (SPD)

7 March 2023, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Do you know how to complete the Single Procurement Document?

The Single Procurement Document (SPD) formally known as European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) is a set of questions, that cannot be altered, that helps buyers identify if you are suitably qualified to carry out the contact you are bidding for.

Most buyers use the SPD for the tendering process, as it ensures that the process stays consistent. It can reduce your workload when bidding on an opportunity as your answers can be saved and reused again and again along as they remain relevant.

Completing the SPD can be daunting for everyone, even if you have completed many in the past. It is a long document that splits the questions into different parts. In this training, you will be given examples of the standard questions asked in the SPD by one of SDP’s expert trainers, who will have no dubitably completed loads of Single Procurement Documents.

Overview of what you will learn:

  • What is the Single Procurement Document (SPD)?
  • When will you need to complete the SPD?
  • Standard Questions
  • Mitigating any issues in your SPD
  • Checking your submission

At the end of the session, there will be an interactive Q&A session where you will have the opportunity to ask any burning questions you may have. As well as have the chance to hear what other SME businesses in Scotland have to say.

This event is suitable for Level 2 (Intermediate) for people who know about bidding but need to develop specific knowledge and skills.
