Win that Bid!

This podcast featuring Tess Menges, Manager of  Procurement Assistance Canada (previously Office of Small and Medium Enterprises) offers a master class in bidding for government contracts.  Tess leads the Serenity Sisters panel through  this master class (typically an online workshop)  where we were able to complete a short exercise which mirrors the basic competitive procurement process format used by the Federal Government to award contracts. The Serenity Sisters were split into teams and played the role of departmental officials with a requirement to purchase 25 dogs. In this class, three fictitious companies submitted bids to provide those dogs. Our task was to recommend one for contract award.

 

Join us in the mock exercise to better understand the process of applying for government bids. In utilizing a real life case study and acting as the evaluators, we were able to gain a greater understanding of the daunting federal procurement evaluation process. Along with gaining a true understanding of the process, the entire system is simplified as we learn some tips along the way to maximize your chances of success.
