Go-2-Tender: Tendering for Social Enterprises and Non-Profits

The Go-2-Tender Masterclass Series is tailored for businesses across Ireland and Northern Ireland looking to strengthen their tendering knowledge, skills, and approach to successful bidding.

Social enterprises and non-profit organisations have unique strengths that can add significant value to public contracts. Explore how to position your organisation effectively, communicate social impact, and take advantage of procurement opportunities designed to support purpose-led suppliers.

• How You Can Avail of Reserved Tender Competitions: Clarification on current policies for social enterprise competition access in both jurisdictions.
• Highlighting Your Social Impact: Best practice for articulating outcomes, community benefit, and alignment to buyer goals.
• Using Exemptions (e.g., Fee Waivers): Knowing what financial or procedural exemptions apply to social enterprises.
