Why did you participate in the Love Me Tender programme?
Montgomerie Knight Recruitment joined the Love Me Tender programme to gain the knowledge required to secure both temporary and permanent public sector recruitment contracts.
What were the main benefits of attending?
There were two main benefits to Montgomerie Knight Recruitment from attending the Love Me Tender programme.
Love Me Tender dispelled the old myth that public sector contracts were a foregone conclusion and that contracts would always be awarded to the same 'old favourites'. The Love Me Tender programme showed Montgomerie Knight Recruitment that these contracts should now be transparent and awarded to any company who scores high enough at the PQQ stage and again when invited to tender.
The second, and more important benefit, was the detailed understanding of how the public sector view applications and the skills gained in meeting these requirements.
In what way has your tendering process changed/improved?
Our tendering process has changed dramatically with regards to the contracts we go after and our approach to those contracts. When we do go after a public sector contract I feel that we are now in a much better position to succeed. The Love Me Tender programme taught us how to prepare and file all of the information normally required for pre-qualification questionnaires and invitations to tender and the time saving with this task alone has been immense.
The Love Me Tender programme also demonstrated that the value of a contract could sometimes prohibit our company from applying. This consequently saves our company valuable time and resources.
Any tips you would like to share?
I would recommend any company who wish to be considered for public sector contracts to either take the time to invest in attendance of a Love Me Tender or at the very least to create dedicated files where they can access all of the information required to complete the standard PQQ that more and more public sector bodies are issuing. The time invested today will be repaid again and again through time.
