Guidance

Many large private and public sector organisations have made commitments to use local suppliers wherever practical. This can be difficult for national and international organisations, as there are often internal pressures to reduce the overall number of suppliers. Is there a way that this conflict can be resolved?

It is sometime possible to take geography into account when selecting suppliers. As the core business, expertise and passion at ways2win is all about bridging the gap between the commissioner and suppliers, we can deliver. We work alongside and for commissioning organisations to meet their agendas in engaging with local suppliers.

Each situation is different, but ways2win makes the process easy and accessible for both supplier and commissioner. By structuring the situation, and creating the conditions for effecting tendering of local businesses, ways2win assists the effective and confident supply by local businesses to both private and public sector organisations.

One way that we engage with local suppliers is by inviting current Senior Buyers and Procurement Officials to deliver a short presentation during our ‘Winning Tender Writing’ course. See ‘Become a speaker’ for more details.
