Webinars and policy workshops
Webinars
All of the face-to-face training is also offered as webinars, so that SMEs and supported businesses can participate from the comfort of your own desk. Our webinars include:
Quick Quotes made easy
A Quick Quote (QQ) is an online quotation facility within Public Contracts Scotland (PCS), that enables buyers to request competitive quotes electronically for low value purchases.
During this webinar, you will learn more about Quick Quote functionality within PCS, and be given an overview of PCS for those new to electronic tendering.
We don’t currently have any of these events scheduled, but please check back again soon.
You can also access SDP’s Quick Quotes Made Easy eLearning session, after logging into your account.
2.5 Responding to Tender Policy Requirements - Power of Procurement
Sustainable procurement is a vital element of public sector tendering.
As well as environmental issues, sustainability also includes social issues (equality and diversity, fair and ethical trading), and economic issues such as opportunities for SMEs and the third sector. This workshop is particularly recommended for third sector organisations.
