Please also ensure that you book to attend a second webinar, titled Aligned Tender Training which is scheduled on the 14th January ‘25 at 5pm (subject to change).

During this second webinar we will walk you through the bidding process using the SLC live tender documents. This date is subject to change as it depends on the contract notice being published by the buyer. We will demo how to register/ login to PCS , how to find the contract notice and express interest. We then follow the SLC buyer’s instructions verbatim, to access the docs in PCS-t and open all envelopes. We will spend time on questions that perhaps tripped bidders up in the past. We also demo the Q&A functionality and how to upload evidence and response documents.
