Win More Local Work: Tender Together Workshop & Toolkit Launch

Tuesday 26 August | Commerce Ballarat

Hosted by Commerce Ballarat in partnership with Grantus

Think tenders are only for big companies? Think again.

From tradies to consultants, creatives to cleaners — there’s a growing pool of local work available through tenders and contracts, and it’s not just for the big players. But far too many small and regional businesses miss out. Why? Because they don’t know where to start, or they tried once and found the process overwhelming.

That changes now.

Join us for Tender Together: Winning Local Work as a Business Community, a dynamic and practical workshop designed to help small and regional businesses unlock new opportunities through better tender writing. Whether you’re new to tendering or want to sharpen your edge, this event is packed with real-world advice to help you compete — and win.

What to Expect:

• Panel Discussion: Hear directly from procurement experts, successful bidders, and industry insiders. Get the inside scoop on what evaluators look for, how to stand out, and what common pitfalls to avoid.
• Live Q&A: Bring your questions and get tailored insights from people who live and breathe tenders.
• Tender Toolkit Launch: Be the first to access the brand-new Tender Toolkit — downloadable, easy-to-use guides covering everything from compliance and capability statements to crafting strong answers (with a little help from AI). Designed for time-poor regional businesses who want to just get it done.

This is not just another seminar. It’s a step towards winning more of the work that’s right on your doorstep — and doing it together as a business community.

Why Attend?
