Procurement Mentoring
The Procurement mentor scheme is a unique service that offers you individual tailored support from a procurement professional to help you in doing business with the public sector, including bidding for specific contracts.
Mentors will be able to give you advice and guidance on:
- Completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire
- How to write the best possible bid in response to a tender
- How to improve on what you may have already written
- Preparing for a tender presentation
- How to identify any organisational changes you may need to make to help you become more competitive
- How public sector procurement works, and whether it's a viable business opportunity for your organisation
The mentoring scheme costs £180 plus travel expenses for 4 hours of a mentor's time, but BiG Make It Your Business will fund £90 of this total cost on your behalf.
Eligibility
Organisations that are interested in receiving support from a mentor must be situated in Sheffield
Testimonials
"The mentor support really helped me finalise the proposal but it was key when it came to the presentation stage. Tony's invention helped me focus on the key messages and how best to present them to my audience. Thanks for your all your help."
