There are numerous opportunities to bid for public & private contracts around the world.
To have sales leads sent to you directly, register\subscribe for:
- EU Government Tenders;

You should note that in order to qualify for bidding for many international contracts there are standard questionnaires that ask whether you have policies in place covering:
- The use of child labour.
- The use of slave labour.
- Anti-bribery and corruption rules.
If you do not have policies in place that show your company takes these issues seriously, you can download templates from:
- Workable – Child Labour Policy.
- VinciWorks - Free Sample Template for Modern Slavery Act Statement.
- VinciWorks – Anti-bribery and corruption policy.
N.B. You should ensure that all your suppliers also have similar policies in place and that they follow these policies. Please make these conditions of your supplier onboarding process to avoid problems when making tenders.
You may also have to provide a Credit Report on your Company - this can be provided by First Report for as little as 40 pence.
