Government contracts represent 18% of global GDP, with a total value of $3.1 trillion worldwide and €9 billion in Ireland alone. However, only 10% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) currently compete for these opportunities. SMEs that follow a structured process for finding and bidding on tenders, such as using online platforms and compiling a tender library, can increase their chances of winning contracts by over 70%. The company Tenderscout aims to help more Irish SMEs successfully obtain government contracts worth €200 million in 2017.
