NSW Small Business Commissioner provides free resources to assist businesses to qualify and compete for government tender contracts
The NSW Government is seeking to increase goods and service procurement from businesses within the state. However, while becoming a government supplier can be an amazing opportunity for businesses, it can be a tricky process to navigate.
This is why the NSW Small Business Commissioner has announced a free new program in partnership with TAFE to further develop businesses' skills, knowledge, and understanding of tendering processes.
The program's main goal is to simplify and streamline the qualification process of becoming a government supplier, while upskilling the business in the process.
Skills and knowledge gained through this program are applicable in a variety of other situations, such as tendering for private or local council contracts, and are also helpful in building your general know-how.
