SUMMARY:Responding to Tender Policy Requirements - Power of Procurement
DESCRIPTION:Public sector procurement in Scotland is guided by several policy requirements that were put in place so that organisations\, operations\, and procurement exercises achieve specific\, desirable outcomes. So\, what does that mean for suppliers? \nDuring this training\, you will get an overview of the most common policy requirements including Sustainability\, Community Benefits\, Fair Work Practices\, Community Wealth Building and Net Zero targets. These topics are extremely important to buyers; so much so that the public sector expects businesses of all sizes to demonstrate how they are meeting these policy requirements in tender documents. \nPlease note: Even though a buyer may not specifically ask suppliers to provide evidence of how the business is meeting policy requirements\, it is still expected to be included within a bid. \nPolicies can be daunting\, but help is at hand for Scottish SMEs\, supported businesses and third sector organisations through the Supplier Development Programme. \nJoin this webinar to become ‘tender ready’ and find out how you can provide the most up-to-date policies on your bids. You will also get advice on how to record and evidence what your business is doing to meet these requirements. By successfully providing evidence on how you are implementing policy requirements\, you can improve how high your bid scores go and also stand out from competitors to buyers. \nYou will learn: \n\nHow to put the theory of the public sector’s common policy requirements into practical terms.\nWhat sustainability is\, as well as examples of what sustainability could mean for your business.\nWhat Community Benefits are\, and ideas for and examples of Community Benefits you could implement into your business.\nWhat Net Zero is and how you can work towards meeting your Net Zero targets.\nWhat Fair Work First is\, what it involves\, and tools available to help you implement the five aspects of Fair Work into your business such as the Living Wage and other practical steps.\nHow to record and evidence these key common policies into your bids.\n\nYou won’t just come away from this training course with good ideas: you will learn how to turn those ideas into a workable plan of action your business can use to get ‘tender ready’ for your next bid. \nAt the end of the session\, there will be an interactive Q&A session where you will have the opportunity to ask SDP’s expert trainers any questions you may have and hear what other SME businesses in Scotland are asking\, too. \nThis event is suitable for Level 2 (Intermediate)\, for businesses which understand bidding concepts but need to develop and refine specific knowledge and skills.
