How to Score a Government Contract

When you are in small business it can be incredibly frustrating and time consuming to apply for NSW Government contracts and keep getting knocked back without an understanding of what a successful tender application looks like.

Fortunately, the NSW Small Business Commission has collaborated with TAFE NSW to develop free training and an informative guide to help small businesses win contracts.

The training course is called “Selling to the NSW Government”, and is comprised of four modules that help small businesses prepare for and navigate these major stages of the tendering and contract processes:

• Getting Business Ready
• Finding Opportunities
• Selling to Government
• Successful Supplying.

The course is complemented by a new guide called “Selling to the NSW Government: A Guide for Small Business”, which includes templates for key tendering documents.

Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman commented on these new resources, saying “small businesses make up more than 98 per cent of businesses in NSW. If we can generate more work for them through existing Government spending, we will support jobs, families and communities.

“These new resources will help small businesses to bridge that gap and be more successful in not only winning government work but also in tendering for private sector contracts, which requires similar knowledge and skills.”
