## Summary

Swansea Council Building Services is organising a Contractor Awareness Event for SMEs and construction contractors interested in bidding for construction work within their portfolio. This event, which falls under the industry category of construction work, is scheduled to take place at one of Swansea's community centres, with specific details to be confirmed based on attendee interest. Prospective participants are encouraged to express their interest by emailing Nasir Shahzad at nasir.shahzad@swansea.gov.uk by 19th November 2024, 5 PM. The event will provide free advice and guidance on the procurement process, including insights into the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and will feature presentations on enhancing bid submissions.

This event presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in a wide range of construction activities, such as masonry, bricklaying, electrical installation, mechanical engineering works, roofing, and tiling, to gain valuable insights and guidance that can strengthen their competitive edge in future bids. SMEs, particularly those with fewer than five employees, or those seeking to improve their SSIP accreditation, will benefit significantly from the tailored advice on common procurement questions and compliance requirements. Attendees will also have the chance to engage directly with council staff who evaluate bids, potentially enhancing their future success in securing contracts with the City & County of Swansea.
