InterTradeIreland Go‑2‑Tender sessions help SMEs build skills to win public sector contracts across the island
The Go‑2‑Tender Workshops and Go‑2‑Tender Masterclass Series are InterTradeIreland‑led initiatives designed to support businesses across the island of Ireland to compete more effectively for public sector procurement opportunities.
Go-2-Tender Workshops
The Go‑2‑Tender Workshops, delivered online over two half‑day sessions, provide structured, practical training for organisations that want to develop the skills and confidence needed to bid successfully for public sector tenders.
Led by an experienced tendering consultant, the workshops offer sector‑specific guidance and insights into how the public procurement process works in practice.
These workshops are opportunity‑driven and focus on opening up access to the all‑island public procurement market, which is estimated to be worth €21 billion / £18 billion.
