The Women’s Enterprise Centre wants to give you the tools to best get to the door when opportunity knocks.
The centre’s latest Mentor Advisory Forum will take place Aug. 23, and teach small business owners how to navigate the Government of Canada’s tender process.
The free, phone-in seminar is titled Opportunity Knocks! Bidding on Contracts with the Government of Canada, and will provide attendees with “general advice and guidance” on the government’s request for Proposal (RFP) process.
Facilitated by Kerrilee Auger, a skills development officer at the Women’s Enterprise Centre, the one-hour seminar will touch on several points, including:
- An overview of Buyandsell.gc.ca;
- Searching for tenders, contract history and standing offers and supply arrangements;
- How to follow opportunities;
- The different types of opportunities;
- The process for bid evaluation and submission.
Panelist Louisa Young is from the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises, and is an expert who works with small to medium enterprises to improve access to government opportunities, by simplifying the contracting process and reducing procurement barriers.
Both women and men are welcome to attend the seminar. For more information, or to register, visit the Women’s Enterprise Centre online.
