Well this is a turn up - business with the Public Sector with alcohol - great combination! What a great afternoon yesterday - we shared wine, canapés and business was openly discussed and near future opportunities revealed...

Ways2win are pleased to announce a new section on our website dedicated to publications relating to the tender process. The book 'IT Procurement Handbook for SMEs' is available from The Chartered Institute for IT Bookshop and we have been offered an exclusive 50% Discount.

"The speed and efficiency with which the whole operation worked was second to none. It was spot on. I know my strengths and I know my weaknesses and tendering was not part of my business route, it was something I had never considered. When I saw the tender I realised I was completely out of my depth with the business speak needed to complete it. I know the importance however of getting that business speak right, and I knew I didn't have those skills.

Anything you have to pay for as a small business is a big gulp. But once I got that tender back and I saw what was written down was readable and understandable, then I knew I had made the right decision. Because only Ways2win, who understand how to make a document readable and straight forward, can make it so. There was not one second when I stopped and thought, 'I could have done this myself'."

Tendering versus Direct Sales and networking is becoming an interesting conflict.
The value of the direct sales market is billions of pounds each year but dependant on the market and credit structure for most companies, as opposed to the guaranteed spend from central and regional government.
