SUMMARY:Passing the Selection Stage – The Single Procurement Document (SPD)
DESCRIPTION:Do you know how to complete the Single Procurement Document?\nThe Single Procurement Document (SPD) is a set of questions\, that cannot be altered\, which helps buyers identify if your business is suitably qualified to carry out the contract you are bidding for. \nMost 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. \nPreviously known as European Single Procurement Document (ESPD)\, the SPD is a regular part of bidding for public sector contracts. \nCompleting the SPD can be daunting for everyone\, even if you have done so in the past. It is a long electronic document that splits questions into different subsections and parts. During this training event\, you will be given examples of the standard questions asked in the SPD by one of SDP’s expert trainers\, who has also completed numerous Single Procurement Documents and will teach you an expert method on how to answer all questions robustly and correctly. \nYou will learn: \n\nWhat is the Single Procurement Document (SPD)?\nWhen will you need to complete the SPD?\nStandard Questions\nMitigating any issues in your SPD\nChecking your submission\n\nAt the end of the session\, there will be an interactive Q&A session where you will have the opportunity to ask any questions your business may have about the SPD\, as well as give you the chance to hear what other SME businesses in Scotland have to say. \nThis event is suitable for Level 2 (Intermediate) for people who know about bidding but need to develop specific knowledge and skills.
