Have you ever thought about supplying your local council?
Local Authorities are required to pay their suppliers within a maximum of 30 days and Somerset Council is very keen to support its local economy by spending more with their own local small businesses.
Stephen Barker, Service Manager - Public Health, Adults and Childrens Services, Somerset Council
Join us at this interactive event to meet and hear from members of the council's commissioning and procurement teams. You will find out how to know what contracts are coming up, how to apply for them and how to get on the radar for those smaller jobs and purchases which don't need to be tendered.
Jonathan Marks, Service Manager - ICT & Property, Somerset Council
Mark Moore from the South West Cyber Resilience Centre will also be letting us know about the free support they offer to help small businesses to stay safe online. You can also find SWCRC on Twitter.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the team and will go away knowing what you need to do to bid for various contracts and tenders offered by the council.
This event is being organised in partnership with Somerset Council and Somerset Chamber.
Find Somerset Council on Facebook and Twitter, and Somerset Chamber on Twitter.
If you can't make this event please check out our identical event in Taunton on 12 September.
