The Western Australian government will be conducting a workshop that will help the state’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) better understand how to sell their goods and services to the state government.
The workshop, “Doing Business with Government”, will break down WA Government procurement processes and provide SMEs with tips on how to improve their success in responding to tenders, as well as improve the purchasing options for the WA Government.
With goods and services procured by the WA Government worth over $30 billion a year, this presents a significant and sustainable opportunity for local enterprises to take advantage of.
WA Premier Roger Cook said: “With more local businesses supplying to the WA market there will be positive outcomes for our economy and jobs staying in the state. This initiative will build on our record of achieving over 85 per cent Western Australian content in the state’s purchasing.”
The training, which has been initiated by the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation and the Small Business Development Corporation, is open for registration.
The first workshop session was held on Thursday, 8 May. The second session will be held on Tuesday, 20 May from 10 am to 1 pm.
More information on the workshop is available at the Small Business Development Corporation website.
