To increase your chances of securing procurement contracts with us, we suggest you follow these top tips:
- thoroughly read and understand what's expected of you in the documentation
- provide all requested information. If you're unable to provide some details, seek advice. Your proposal should be self-contained and not rely on previous interactions with the Council
- avoid including promotional materials in your submission unless specifically asked for
- if tender documentation seems daunting, don't hesitate to ask for assistance
- ensure you complete and return documents by the specified deadline and sign where necessary
- where applicable, link your tender responses directly to the questions in the invitation to tender for easier evaluation
- be clear about your pricing model and state any assumptions made in your pricing
- if your tender is unsuccessful, request a debrief for valuable feedback to improve future applications
- understand your customer by exploring their website and procurement strategy to grasp their priorities and requirements
- register on online tender portals to access opportunities with many councils
