Programme overview
This interactive training programme is designed to help small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) compete successfully for government contracts by leveraging market intelligence and AI.
AI plays a key role by increasing productivity, aligning proposals more accurately with buyer requirements, and
creating differentiation. By integrating AI into the tendering process, SMEs can streamline operations and gain a competitive edge.
The global procurement market is valued at $13 trillion, with the European market at €2.1 trillion and the All-Ireland market at €18 billion. Despite this significant opportunity, many SMEs do not participate, and many tenders receive only a single proposal. This programme provides practical
strategies to help SMEs navigate the government tendering landscape effectively.

On completion of the training programme, participants will:
• Understand the government tendering process
• Identify and qualify suitable tenders
• Make informed bid/no-bid decisions
