Aimed at assisting Irish software SME’s access the lucrative public contracts market, which is worth in the region of €16 billion per annum, the training programme costs just €475 for the two days. Full details are available on the Irish Software Association website.

This is a guest post by Roy Scannell, formerly of EI’s Public Procurement Team, now working for the Go-2-Tender Programme.

What is Go-2-Tender?

Go-2-Tender is a programme that is essential for anyone who is currently or is interested in selling to the Public Sector in the future. It encompasses a two day training course with up to 3 days of free mentoring sessions post the course which really has a very strong positive impact on their tendering success rates.

For example last year’s graduates have posted an achievement of €7m of contracts won since the programme series ran with the most recent happening in November. Go-2-Tender is Ireland’s most developed and preeminent ‘doing business with the public sector’ up-skilling programme.

For the full programme of events including our next programme in Castlebar, Co. Mayo on the 13th and 27th of April click here.

This time around we have a few more strings to our ‘tendering’ bow with the roll out of our ramped up online offering which is complimentary to the training programme and mentoring. It includes:

  • A free iPhone App with a live stream of cross border opportunities and a bid / no bid decision maker; which you can access if you click here
  • A partner finding service
  • Web forum
  • Course materials
  • A public sector directory
  • Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook networking groups (These are only open to Go-2-Tender graduates)
