Launched in November 2004, the Procurement Development Programme (PDP) is a Pan London initiative designed to train, inform, mentor and support SMEs (companies with fewer than 250 staff) in London for the purpose of locating, bidding for and winning lucrative contracts from public sector organisations such as the NHS, Local Authorities and large private organisations, such as BT.

How it is run

This 3 year programme run in partnership with the Greater London Authority (GLA), the London Development Agency (LDA), is delivered in partnership with key strategic partners across London. These partners are the Haringey Business Development Agency (HBDA), Nichols Employment Agency (NEA), CSC Regeneration and Research and the Enfield Enterprise Agency (EEA). Each of our partners plays a fundamental role to the delivery of this programme.

Aims

Our aim is to support SMEs, particularly those that are minority owned to improve their tendering capacity and to become fit to tender for worthwhile supply contracts.

Who it is designed for

The programme is designed for all small to medium sized enterprises with a product and/or service that they can successfully and competitively supply to funded bodies (such as the NHS or the council) or to large private organisations.

Once a tendering opportunity has been identified, Tender to Win can help in clarifying the client’s needs, writing tender proposals, mentoring and support throughout the tendering process. We are committed to handholding, consulting and advice and to running training programmes that introduce prospective suppliers to the tendering process.

We help you at every step.
