Tender Workshop Series
The City Of Ballarat will be running a series of Tender Workshops over the next two months that aim to help local businesses to better understand, apply for and win tenders.
The aim of the Tenderwrite series is to maximize the opportunities for local businesses that will come from the Federal Government Stimulus Package and other public and private tenders. The City of Ballarat hopes that these sessions will provide a very practical level of assistance to businesses to ensure that Ballarat's economy remains strong and resilient.
