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.

Helping you Bid Better; examine the SPD question by question
This course will look at the questions within the SPD document – to help you to understand what information is required.
The Single Procurement Document (SPD) includes questions used at the selection stage of a tender exercise – to enable buyers to ask questions that will identify suitably qualified and experienced suppliers. The SPD is the pre-qualifying stage, formally known as the PQQ / Pre Qualifying Questionnaire. Learn how to answer the SPD in a relaxed, step-by-step manner, in this webinar.

Our policy workshops are designed to give you a high level overview of the requirements when submitting a compliant bid for public sector contracts.

The overall aim of a Health & Safety policy is to support and promote good practices. Whether you have less than five workers or 249, you can learn how to implement Health and Safety processes within your workplace during this webinar.
