SUMMARY:Win More Business

Plus\, we’re launching the Tender Toolkit\, a new\, practical resource packed with checklists\, templates\, and tools to help you get tender-ready.  \nIf you’ve applied once and given up\, or never tried at all\, this is your chance to re-enter the game with the right support behind you.  \nPresented by Commerce Ballarat\, Simon Coutts of Grantus\, Dannielle James of Pipe Pro Directional Drilling/ James Vac Solutions and a representative of Aus Net.   \nSupported by the City of Ballarat
