Tender assessment for small suppliers

Small suppliers win public contracts every day, mostly smaller ones close to home. The trick is to bid less often and choose better.

17,936open tenders that close in 14 to 90 days, enough time to prepare, from the official sources SLETOR reads.

Pick your lane

  • Contracts under a size you can deliver comfortably
  • Buyers near you or in sectors you know
  • Lots, when a large contract is split into smaller parts

Check early

Spend 30 minutes on the pass or fail rules before anything else. If you fail one, move on. If you are unsure, ask the buyer.

Reuse your work

Keep your company facts, policies, case studies and references in one place. Most of a bid can be reused next time.
