Joint Bidding Handbook
ASCM worked for the ServQ Alliance management team and recently completed a project on joint bidding for the Welsh Government's Value Wales team, the Wales Co-operative Centre and the Welsh Council for Voluntary Action. The project started in October 2012 and involved field research with small firms, procurement teams, institutions and bidding experts.
Handbook
The team then prepared a practitioner's handbook on joint bidding for procurement and bidding teams. The Welsh public sector procures over £4bn per year and the goal is to ensure that joint bids from smaller entities get equal consideration to those from large organisations.
