The Whakatāne District Council is holding a workshop to help local contractors work through the complexities involved in writing and submitting successful tenders for local government contracts.

A joint initiative by the Whakatāne District Council, Whakatāne Community Board and local consultant Opus International, the workshop is a response to requests for guidance about the tendering process and will give contractors an insight and understanding of the various contract types and tender processes. It will also explain how tender evaluators assess contractor responses. 

There will be two workshops available:

• Tuesday, 23 September, 8:30 am to 1 pm
• Wednesday, 24 September, 8:30 am to 1 pm

There will be 20 spaces available at each workshop, and places are limited to a maximum of two persons per company. Interested parties are urged to apply as soon as possible, as numbers are limited and attendance will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
