TENDERINGOn Thursday 17th October, Bob Tallent and myself attended the InterTrade Ireland “Meet the Buyer” event in City West Hotel. It was a chance to meet many of the Buyers we want to target for ourselves and our clients. We also wanted to meet fellow Suppliers, to discuss common difficulties and how to get over them.
tenderThere are many reasons why Micro Businesses, Small Medium Enterprises and Companies would consider entering the Tender Process. However there are many myths and misconceptions about the whole process some of which I hope I can dispel.
Bid or no bidTendering is the process of expressing your interest in response to an invitation or request for tender. It is where you make an offer, proposal or a bid to supply the product or service. Tendering organisations will seek other businesses to respond to a particular need, such as the supply of goods and services, and will select an offer or tender that meets their needs and provides the best value for money.
