Events

The Procurement Act 2023 went live on 28th October 2024. This event for both buyers and suppliers will look at what we have learned since the Act has been in force.

We'll look if possible at the Competitive Flexible Procedure and how it's being used, how dynamic markets are operating and whether Frameworks are being let under the new constructs as well as how the Central Digital Platform is working and if the new notice regime is helping to create more transparency and accessibility to public sector buyers.

We'll also be asking SMEs to feedback about whether their experience has changed at all and we'll look at the Central Digital Platform which is being released in phases and how this is working and helping suppliers to find opportunities.

A practical overview of Carbon Net Zero (CNZ) for providers. Where do you start, what does it mean and what proportionate, relevant and impactful actions can you take as a business?

The UK has legislated to end its contribution to global warming by 2050, in effect reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100%. That means Carbon Net Zero is one of the most important strategic drivers of our time, and this is being reflected in public procurements and grant funding processes in all sectors at all values. It will take everyone to get involved and contribute to achieving this critical goal.

We know it can be a challenging and complex topic though and Go4Growth is here to help you as a current or aspiring supplier within the public or private sectors to be able to work out what's right for your business to do as part of the drive to become Carbon Net Zero.

This webinar will provide a practical overview of Carbon Net Zero for providers whether you're supplying public or private sector clients as all commissioning organisations across all sectors focus more on environmental stewardship and reducing carbon.

We'll cover in brief the general requirements, what you need to be aware of and how your business can engage with this important agenda by creating a simple Net Zero Action Plan.

Having a Carbon Net Zero Action Plan will not only help us achieve our environmental goals as a nation, it is likely to become crucial to securing business in the future.

We often get asked about how to approach working with other businesses to secure public sector opportunities. Working with others can help you apply for larger opportunities, and can spread risk and bring together multiple skills and strengths.

We're putting on this event, dedicated to exploring collaborative working.

We'll give an overview of the things you might want to consider leading up to becoming ‘contract ready’ in a partnership and we'll explore what the key areas of focus are for businesses wanting to work together to secure work in the public sector.

We’ll explore what the make or break elements are of preparing to work with others.

Go4Growth is a collaboration between two businesses and so we'll share our experiences of both the positives and the challenges we've encountered along the way.

This highly interactive workshop will also give an opportunity for businesses who want to, to give an intro to their business and exchange details and explore how to form new working relationships. Come along and find out more about collaborative working and hopefully find and make new connections for future work whist you're there!
