Hi Kieran

my partner and I have a small gardening business and we are about to put in our first tender! I saw a post of yours regarding tenders.

is there any advice you would give to tender contracting and how to win them? It is grass/hedgecutting for a small parish council on a year contract.

many thanks

Thanks for the offer - were bassed in West Yorkshire, so that may be a little far - I think peterboro is a 3 hour commute when visiting family! If i get anything down your way (not sure how!) I'll pass it on.
