Publisher note: Supplier Development Programme (SDP) helps businesses that have little or no experience of tendering and are often too small to have dedicated bid/tender resources to contemplate bidding for public sector contracts. SDP aims to help such businesses become what we call "tender ready" for contracts, which improves their prospects when completing throughout Scotland. SDP delivers this support through a Programme of free training and events which can be booked via the SDP website. https://www.sdpscotland.co.uk/ (SC Ref:667031)
