Secrets of Winning Public Sector Contracts - Part II

Ecademy of Networking (econ) Event


Sponsored by New Prospect Business Solutions Limited (www.newprospect-bs.com)

Why bother?


Have you ever wanted to get more business from a guaranteed source, where payment terms are always good, the customer has money to spend and is also directed by the Government to spend money on SME’s? A customer with a budget already allocated that wants to buy.

Welcome to the public sector.

This presentation will guide you through what the public sector is (hint: it’s not just the government), what they buy (hint: pretty much everything) and how to do business with them (hint: there are ways which work and those which don't).

It will include demystifying the tendering process (OJEU, PQQ, ITT etc.) and also how you can get public sector work without having to go through lengthy and expensive tenders.

If you want a slice of the massive pie that is public spending, you have a very good reason to attend this presentation.

The speaker - Russell Henley


Russell Henley setup his IT company (Henley Software) back in 1996. He's been working with the public sector since 1997 and has clients including major charities, local and central government and not-for-profit organisations.
Each of these has been sourced via different routes, very few of them through the traditional 'tendering' route. The majority of these are long term customers (some still from 1997). Russell is willing to share his secrets with everyone.

Henley Software is a well established ISO:9000 accredited IT Outsourcing provider. They provide outsourced IT management, where they look after all your 'kit' and make sure it does what it's supposed to (and doesn't do what it's not supposed to), leaving you to run your business.
They also develop and provide software that enables your business to function better, smoothing business processes, providing key management information and making staff work more efficiently.

About Ecademy of Networking (ECON)


ECON is a not for profit organisation founded over 5 years ago by Olu Odeniyi a local Maidenhead businessman after leaving Nortel Networks in 2003. Since then ECON has run regular monthly meetings with the aim of providing a supportive environment where business relationships are formed, leadership and business skills are developed.

The meetings are centred around an expert speaker on a particular business topic and one or two other planned activities which encourage sharing of information, execution of ideas, relationship building and the development of effective business strategies. Core values of the group include encouraging openness, fostering trust, creating a supportive business environment, member capability demonstration, local business influence and integrity.

Fees generated from meetings are used to reimburse speakers’ travel expenses, room hire and other operational expenses. ECON does not compete with any other networking groups but rather aims to collaborate and support them through joint and reciprocated promotions.

Whilst ECON has emerged from an online business networking group called ecademy, attendees do not need to be members of ecademy (there are additional benefits to those who are) or any other organisation – all are welcome.
