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.

At this final session, we'll look at the feedback process. After every public sector bid when the result of the tender is communicated to you, it should be accompanied by some feedback. In this session, we will go through examples of useful feedback and an overview of what you should expect to get or can ask for from the contracting authority. We will also chat about how to use feedback for future work. We'll also discuss what to do if you're not happy with either the outcome or process and where you can go to get support.
With the Procurement Act in force from October 2024, we'll also showcase how feedback processes have changed under the new regulations as contracting authorities use assessment summaries and what bidders can expect to get in the future. We'll explore what should happen both above and below the regulation contract value threshold.
