On Thursday 21 September 2017, Sandwell Council will be hosting a procurement e-sourcing event where you will be able to learn more about the council's tendering process.

This interesting and informative event will cover a range of procurement topics including how you can:

• Promote your company and become an accredited supplier
• Be alerted to new tender opportunities
• Save time by not wading through paperwork; juggling spreadsheets and relying on the post
• Have direct support from Sandwell Council’s e-sourcing team
• Hear more of what Think Sandwell’s Business Growth Team can offer and what funding is available
• Hear more of what support is out there to help with recruiting locally and apprenticeships

At the event you will hear from a bid-writing specialist who will give you an overview on how you can become a ‘winner’ in bid writing and there will also be an opportunity to learn how you can get support with bid writing.

This event is open to all local businesses and SMEs that may be interested in learning more about the council's tendering process using Intend.

This event is free to attend so to register email: think_sandwell@sandwell.gov.uk

Venue: Sandwell Business Solutions Centre – Sandwell College, 1, Spon Lane, West Bromwich, B70 6AW
