Driving Sustainable Growth - Levelling the tender playing field

Tender description

Are you taking full advantage of the opportunities to win contracts with public sector companies? How can you make sure that your bid stands out amongst the competition? Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has partnered with GC Business Growth Hub to run a series of fully-funded workshops to boost your environmental credentials. The record of you successfully completing the programme can then be used for future tender applications. The belief amongst many SME’s is that they don’t have a chance winning public sector contracts when they go up against the bigger market competitors. Although they don’t have the firepower of the bigger companies, there is one area that really helps to differentiate their bids that will make a huge difference to the success rate. Many businesses aren’t aware that a key deciding factor for a successful bid with public bodies is their environmental credentials. This plays a big factor in the decisions to award contracts. As an example, Manchester City Council counts the social value of a company as around a quarter of the overall score on tender bids. Improving your environmental performance will help you to win more work with TfGM, Greater Manchester Councils and beyond.
