Free workshop on government grants, tender opportunities

Businesses across Wangaratta and district can attend a free workshop next week designed to help them better understand government grants, procurement processes, and tender opportunities. The Winning Government Grants and Tenders workshop will be held from 5.30pm to 8pm on Tuesday 8 September at the council chambers inside the Wangaratta Government Centre, providing practical information for businesses interested in supplying to government, applying for grants or responding to tenders. The workshop will cover council's procurement requirements, supplier registration processes and current opportunities to work with council, as well as Business Victoria covering government procurement processes, grant opportunities and tendering. Participants will receive practical advice on preparing stronger applications and submissions, understanding procurement requirements and promoting their capabilities to government buyers. Council director sustainability and culture, Stephen Swart, said the workshop would help businesses navigate processes that can often be unfamiliar. "Many businesses have the skills and experience government organisations are looking for, but procurement and grants processes can be difficult to navigate for those who haven't worked with government before," he said. "This workshop will provide practical information to help businesses identify opportunities, understand requirements and prepare stronger submissions." Mr Swart said the workshop is part of council's ongoing efforts to support local businesses through skills development, access to information and business growth opportunities. The event is free to attend, but registrations are essential - visit www.investwangaratta.com.au
