[CMA-L]

A free online public procurement course designed to help smaller firms
bid for the £220 billion of public sector contracts awarded each year
has been launched.

The course, Winning the Contract, shows participants how to identify
business opportunities to supply goods and services to the public
sector, explains the public procurement process, and demonstrates how
to submit tenders. It has hints and tips to guide businesses on the
bidding process, and on where to find public sector contract
opportunities.

Winning the Contract is a nationally available online training course
which all businesses, regardless of size and sector, can access free
of charge. It is part of a series of joint initiatives by the Office
of Government Commerce and Department for Business, Innovation and
Skills aimed at making the procurement market clearer and simpler.
