UPCOMING COUNTYWIDE TRAINING:

Getting Ready for Commissioning:
Are You “Tender Ready”?

NVC Northants and NCC jointly invite you to this free training opportunity:

Commissioning and Procurement Training

Like many public sector bodies, Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) has moved away from grant funding towards commissioning services to meet identified needs in the community.
If you have previously received grant funding or have had an SLA with the Council, this training is for you.

Led by members of Commissioning and Procurement teams, the session will cover:

• An overview of the County Council’s Third Sector Commissioning Strategy and procurement process
• What you need to have in place to be “Tender Ready”
• The risks and liabilities of entering the procurement process

The session will also include an overview of the Bravo e-tendering system which will equip you with the knowledge you need to submit a tender electronically
