Whitsunday Regional Council together with the Queensland Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning invites local businesses to attend ‘Doing Business with Council’ — an exclusive one-day event designed to help your business thrive.
Join us in Proserpine for a valuable opportunity to connect with representatives from State and Local Government, regional business support groups, and fellow small business owners.
These sessions will provide insights into upcoming business opportunities, Council’s procurement processes, a Meet the Buyer session and a Capability Statement Workshop—helping you strengthen your business and improve your chances of securing work.
Capability Statement Workshop
A capability statement is a tool that allows procurement teams to assess your expertise and achievements, as well as your potential to deliver goods and services. It outlines the capabilities and skills of your business and is essential for applying for and securing tendering opportunities in government and private sector projects.
Help your business stand out from the crowd and improve your chance of securing contracts. These interactive workshops help businesses develop and prepare effective capability statements.
Our workshop will help you learn:
- Why a capability statement is important
- How to use your capability statement to market your product or service; and accompany contract tender submissions
- Best-practice fundamentals for developing and drafting a powerful capability statement
- How to access the latest information on Queensland’s supply chain opportunities
