Vendor Day – September 27, 2017

Written on: August 24th, 2017 in ContractingEducation

Does your business see the State of Delaware as a potential customer?

Do you find the process of public procurement challenging?

Have you ever wished someone would sit down and explain the process in everyday language?

Then the educational workshop Vendor Day is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. In this four hour workshop we will:

  • Explain how the State purchases products and services
  • Point you to online resources that will help you develop a strategy
  • Offer tips for crafting a successful proposal
  • Show you how to identify unadvertised business opportunities

Vendor Day September 27, 9:00a.m. – 1:00p.m.  is presented jointly by the New Castle County Emerging Enterprise Center, 920 Justison Street, Wilmington, DE 19801 and Delaware’s Government Support Services.

Contracts to Watch – August 2017

Written on: August 8th, 2017 in Contracting

Two questions we are most frequently asked by businesses are:

When does the State decide whether to rebid or extend a contract?

What contracts should we be watching right now?

 

The answers are much the same:

The research and analysis that goes into deciding whether to rebid or extend can begin as early as nine months prior to expiration of the current contract term.    

A business should be watching contracts within nine months of expiration for potential business opportunities.

 

The first in a series of new opportunities: August 29, 2017 from 9:30 a.m., to 12:00 p.m.

To help educate businesses in deciding which contracts to be monitoring – and when – Government Support Services will host informal monthly meetings to facilitate the gathering and sharing of information related to contracts for which a decision point has been reached.  The first meeting will be on August 29, 2017 from 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Parties interested in sharing information on either the efficiencies of the existing contract or trends in related market sectors are invited to attend.

The meeting will take place at Government Support Services, Enterprise Business Park, 100 Enterprise Place, Suite 4, Dover, DE 19904.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED as seating is limited
