11. Cash flow can be a problem for SMEs, who don’t usually have substantial financial resources to fall back on and find it difficult to wait for payment until the end of a long contract period. When bidding for work, see if staged or interim payments can be made, based on work done or part-goods supplied. Sometimes, an SME (particularly in the voluntary sector) may be able to negotiate an advance payment , before the work starts. These or other variations on contract terms may be worth discussing with potential buyers. The contract cannot be completed until the supplier and the public sector organisation agree terms.

14.

Depending on the nature of the procurement, this can result in lower prices. Why the public sector like SME’s
15. Business Link fo Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon and Somerset Better quality of service SMEs have short management chains and approval routes, so they can respond quickly to changing requirements. SMEs may also be highly focused on particular markets making them particularly responsive to changes in those markets Being a large customer of a small business means your business is important to the SME. This can result in a better, and often more personal, level of service and in a better relationship with the supplier The SME may also be more willing and able to tailor a product or service to meet specific customer needs than a large firm that sells an established offering Many SMEs, including social enterprises, supply higher quality specialist products or services than larger suppliers, either because larger suppliers are discouraged by the limited demand, or because the SME has skills, originality and commitment in that field that are greater than those found in their large company competitors.

26. DEVON firm BridgeZone has won a sought-after contract to inspect and maintain the booms on the canal leading into the Olympic Park, ahead of the London 2012 games. BridgeZone Ltd, based at Swallow Court, beside junction 27 of the M5, near Tiverton, has become an official Olympic supplier. The waterway will be used to take construction materials into the East London site. Dave Rylatt, operations director at BridgeZone, said he was "chuffed to bits" to have won the high-profile contract. He said: "On the basis of our specialisation in engineering work associated with diving and rope access, we were matched with the work they already have and had to go through a competitive tendering process. "All in all, the process took about three months." Business Link for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon and Somerset

29. Name : Being vague about contact details doesn’t show a willingness to develop a business relationship. It’s better to give your full name, eg ‘David Jones’. Job title : The completed PQQ should come from a senior manager or executive within the organisation, representing the importance given to the opportunity, eg ‘Managing Director’ as opposed to an administrator. Email : A common error made by many SMEs is to use a ‘freebie’ email address. It’s far more professional for a company to use a ‘company-specific’ email address extension, eg ‘david.jones@premierebuild.co.uk’. In terms of the overall form this may be one field in many. However, it’s sometimes small details like this that can make the difference between getting through the PQQ stage and not.
