Cheshire East Council is to hold another series of free masterclasses to help business people learn how to win public sector contracts.<\/p>\n

Small and medium-sized businesses are encouraged to sign-up for one of three free sessions being organised in association with the borough\u2019s chambers of commerce.<\/p>\n

Previous masterclasses have been highly rated by participants, with 100% recommending them to other businesses.<\/p>\n

The next events are on:
\n\u25cf 18 September 2019 \u2013 at Harts Ltd, Macclesfield.
\nIn association with North Cheshire Chamber of Commerce;
\n\u25cf 27 November 2019 \u2013 at Riverside, Congleton.
\nIn association with East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce; and
\n\u25cf 19 February 2020 \u2013 at Wychwood Park, Crewe.
\nIn association with South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Businesses should book places at www.eventbrite.com<\/a> and search under \u2018Tendering in Cheshire East\u2019.<\/p>\n

Each masterclass will explain how public sector procurement works, the different frameworks in public sector contracts and how to identify the best opportunities.<\/p>\n

Based on three key areas, find, bid and win, businesses will also have the opportunity to quiz the council\u2019s own procurement team on how they evaluate bids and award tenders.<\/p>\n

Olivia Ryder, managing director of COS Recruitment, an established recruitment agency based in Macclesfield, attended a previous masterclass and found it very beneficial.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThe masterclass covered everything I was looking to find out \u2013 an organised step-by-step guide to the practicalities of finding, evaluating and preparing a winning tender.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presentation was dynamic, engaging and delivered in a down-to-earth, jargon-free manner. It had exactly the right balance of providing the useful information needed, as well as answering the specific issues of the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Nick Mannion, Cheshire East Council<\/a> cabinet member for environment and regeneration, said: \u201cWhether you are new to tendering or looking to improve, these masterclasses offer an invaluable opportunity to learn new skills, identify your strengths and unique selling points and help you win more tenders to secure growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The public sector is a massive market opportunity.<\/p>\n

By 2020, the UK government hopes to award 33% of its procurement budget to smaller businesses, out of a total UK public sector spend of around \u00a3200 billion a year.<\/p>\n

Cheshire East Council spends around \u00a3260 million annually on contracts, supplies and services with third parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
