First of all – well done for securing work! Our experience as small business owners means that we’ve been where you are now and we know how daunting breaking into the public sector can seem: trying to find work, win work and keep it can be exhausting and often demoralising if you haven’t got the tools in place to help. So, our mission is to use our combined decades of expertise to help your organisation succeed in winning business because in doing so, we create a level playing field that allows all businesses to thrive.
Managing Director of Ignition Brewery, Nick O'Shea, explains how Go4Growth helped his business secure a bid to supply Lewisham Hospital with hospitality services, and Chris Wagner describes the benefits of working with Go4Growth from his perspective as Director of Procurement for the Trust.

Being a "Responsible Business", and how you demonstrate it, can be the difference between winning and not winning work in the Public Sector. The drive for more socially and environmentally responsible business practises is on the increase and this is being reflected in public sector competitions.
But being "Responsible" is made up of different elements and providers often tell us that the requests and requirements from public sector can be confusing and complex. Help is required to understand what is being asked for and what providers can consider doing, or how to demonstrate actions already being taken .
This session will give a practical over view of what agenda items such as social value, carbon net zero and sustainability are. We know that lots of smaller providers are already doing lots of really impactful things in line with these agenda so we'll also explore how you can reflect the great work you're already doing in competitions and use those activities to help you secure growth for the future.
Hosted by Go4Growth resident experts in these fields, Sheri-Leigh Miles and Jimmy Brannigan, this workshop is designed to be interactive and take any questions you might have on these important topics.

The Procurement Act 2023 is due to go 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. This is the first of 5 events we'll hold quarterley starting December 2024 and throughout 2025 to keep updating on how the Procurement Act 2023 is embedding in day to day puiblic procurement life.
