I’ve won work and want to take the next steps for growth

We’ll help you grow

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.

Your journey – your way

The Go4Growth programme is completely free, tailored to you and includes no time commitments. You’ll get access to regular training sessions on a wide range of topics, from issues such as understanding the principles and regulations surrounding procurement, to advice on becoming carbon net zero and developing your social value narrative. You’ll also have access to a wealth of content, video ‘how tos’ and templates - all completely free of charge.

Whether you’re a micro business, SME or VCSE, we know you’ll have different skills, experience and requirements and so we fully tailor and personalise our time with you. We won’t leave you until you’re completely confident that you and your teams are ready to continue on your procurement journey. And even then, we’ll still be on hand to offer advice and support anytime you need it, all completely free of charge.

Social Value for Providers

23 May 2024, 10:00 AM

We have developed this webinar for organisations who are working or wish to work in the Public Sector and/or want to understand social value better and learn how to develop an approach to social contribution through your business.

Social and environmental impact is a growing priority in private sector competitions and so this workshop will help businesses who are seeking to increase their knoweldge in this area to support growth generally.

The Public Services Act requires commissioners in the public sector to consider social outcomes in everything they spend. Over the last few years, Social Value considerations in procurement have been steadily receiving more scrutiny and importance. With the impending changes to the regulatory environment, this is only set to increase traction further. Now is a good time to understand how you can contribute socially through your core business.

We will explore how to practically develop the social value narrative of your organisation, work out what's important for you, and how to communicate it. We'll reference back to the TOMs (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) and SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals ) which are good reference models regardless of which sector your prospective client is in.
