About this Event

(Descripción en español a continuación)

Are you looking to secure contracts with government agencies and prime contractors? Join us for an in-depth session designed to help small business owners understand the contracting process and successfully compete for opportunities.



What You’ll Learn:

EGBI's very own is leading a workshop on the Invitation for Bid (IFB) process:

  • Key steps to prepare before bidding on government and prime contracts
  • How the bidding process works and what makes a strong proposal
  • What to do after winning a contract to ensure long-term success
  • Insights from prime contractors on their selection process and how to stand out


Right after the workshop, we will host speed mentoring sessions with primer contractors from the construction industry and goverment procurement officers for small and minority owned businesses. Connect with government procurement agents and prime contractors who work directly with small businesses on government and private contracts and ask for their insights to get these contracts. You’ll get a chance to hear firsthand what they look for in subcontractors, how to build lasting relationships, and what sets successful bids apart.

This is a unique opportunity to ask questions and gain insights directly from those making contracting decisions at some of the region’s most active construction firms.



Who Should Attend:

This workshop is perfect for businesses in industries such as food, events, construction, translation, photography, cleaning, and more. If you're new to contracting or looking to improve your success rate, this session will provide actionable strategies to help you win more bids and grow your business.



Why Attend?

Winning government and prime contracts can be a game-changer for your business, but the process can be complex. This session simplifies the steps, provides insider tips from prime contractors, and connects you with valuable resources to help your business thrive.
