£3.2m to help small Welsh organisations win contracts

A £3.2M project aimed at helping small businesses and social enterprises in Wales and the Republic of Ireland win more public sector contracts was launched on the 23 June 2011.

The Winning in Tendering project is led by Bangor University, It will focus on improving the tendering skills of charities, social enterprises and SMEs by removing unnecessary barriers they face.

Part funded with £2.2m from the European Union’s Ireland/Wales Cross Border Programme, the project builds on previous research work undertaken by Bangor University Law School.
