My company is small and has limited resources, but I know that there are ways to exploit government procurement procedures to my advantage. Can you tell me how?

Yes. Government procurement procedures offer potential opportunities for small businesses to bid on and win contracts. The process may require researching government websites, familiarizing yourself with the solicitation requirements, constructing competitive bids and proposals, preparing supporting documents such as certified cost or pricing data, responding to RFPs or BAAs in a timely manner, and adhering to specific terms and conditions of the award. Depending on the project type, some of these requirements may be easier or harder to complete - it is essential that you identify the type of project you are dealing with first in order to increase your chances of success. Furthermore, understanding legal regulations such as Small Business Set-asides can prove advantageous in helping you win government contracts even if your company is small and has limited resources.

Yes, there are plenty of opportunities to explore with the appropriate knowledge. Firstly, it is important to understand the various government procurement methods. The two main types are competitive procedures and negotiated procurement. Competitive procedures require firms to submit bids and offer competitive pricing whereas in negotiated procurement contracts are pre-determined before selection. In general, smaller companies tend to be more successful when employing competitive methods but large businesses can use negotiation tactics as an advantage. Once a company knows which process they want to exploit they must then begin the process for registering on the relevant platforms for tendering in order to receive Governmental contracts and also prepare thorough submissions with detailed analysis on projected costings/services that provide evidence their offer is the most beneficial/efficient option
