Consortium Bidding Explained: Free Training for Scottish SMEs

Thurs 25 Jun | 10:30AM - 12PM | Online

This workshop from the Supplier Development Programme supports SMEs, social enterprises and third sector organisations to understand how consortium bidding can help them access larger contracts by working together.

By pooling skills and capacity, organisations can reduce risk, increase competitiveness and bid for work that would be out of reach individually.

You will learn:

  • What a consortium is and how it works
  • Key models for collaborative working
  • Benefits of joint bidding
  • How to form or join a consortium
  • Next steps towards setting up an incorporated consortium

The session will also include examples of successful consortium bids.
