Welcome back to Second Opinion. In this month's episode, we're deep diving into healthcare tenders, with a focus on those who have cracked the formula. With this in mind, Shrinivas Anikhindi sat down with Nico Bacharidis from CubeRM, along with PEN's very own Monique Biryiana, to explore how the tendering process works. We took a closer look at what it is that CubeRM does differently, and what this means for the future of healthcare. As the healthcare and pharma industry continues to grow, tendering is becoming increasingly common. In fact, it accounts for 30% of global revenue in pharma and 70% of global revenue in MedTech. Tendering works as a form of structured procurement, allowing large institutional buyers such as government's health regions, big hospital groups and insurance companies to open up opportunities for external suppliers to bid on goods and services. But not every organisation will follow the same process; there are a variety of tender types that require different strategies and capabilities.

Episode #24 BID Assist Ft. Nitin Jain, Co-Founder Ofbusiness. Welcome back to MSME TALK with Brand Bite. Small businesses in India face numerous challenges when it comes to finding information on tenders and navigating the process of filing tenders. Tendering can be a complex and time-consuming process, and small businesses may lack the necessary resources and expertise to successfully participate in tenders. Additionally, small businesses may struggle to find relevant information on tenders, as the tendering process in India can be fragmented and decentralized, with tenders being advertised across a variety of platforms and channels. These challenges can limit the ability of small businesses to compete in the marketplace and can prevent them from accessing important government contracts and opportunities for growth. In this Episode Micro as well Small Medium Enterprises will get to know how Bid Assist, one of the platforms of Ofbusiness can help in information on tender notices, tender documents, eligibility criterias, bidding strategy & process all this in a way which saves lot of time & energy of businesses.

I personally hate tenders / RfPs / RfIs, with a passion. Because they often lead nowhere if you are out of control. Patrick interviewed 200+ companies on that after experiencing similar pain over 20+ years, which is why he co-founded Sequesto. Here is a great 5 point tender checklist that emerged from our podcast: 1️⃣ Can I even win? Many tenders are written for your competitors and already pre-decided. (Why) Did you (not) know about a tender before receiving a request. 2️⃣ Would this contribute to my core business? Answering tenders is often cumbersome and therefore costly. You don't want to involve your team for non-core business activities. 3️⃣ (How) Am I uniquely positioned to win? You should be crystal clear why a customer should select you. If you cannot make that argument, how should a buyer? 4️⃣ Is the timeline aligned with my internal capabilities? Tendering is not a “let's quickly do this game”. Large companies have a dedicated team for this for a reason. If you need to rely on external resources already here, be cautious. 5️⃣Is the tender stating the customer's pain specifically enough? If the problem is not framed clearly, you cannot craft a specific solution. In this case strive to better understand before asking to being understood. #salessuccess #podcast #startupsales #startup #salesplaybook #b2bsaas

Data breaches have risen by 70% globally in Q3 of 2022, reenforcing the requirement for many to seek out Information Security solutions, especially those within the tech space. Today we speak to Triaster, who have been in operation since 1994, providing businesses with process mapping and execution software to help drive business improvement. Triaster's Business Operations Manager, Jane Duncan, explains why they sought to implement ISO 27001, what challenges they faced and what they learned during their certification journey. You'll learn Who are Triaster? Why Triaster Implemented ISO 27001 What did they learn from their experience? What benefits have they seen as a result of Implementing ISO 27001? Resources Triaster What is ISO 27001? Internal Auditing in plain English: A simple guide to super effective ISO Audits by Craig Cochran In this episode, we talk about: [00:54] Get to know Jane Duncan – Triaster's Business Operations Manager who has recently started fostering dogs for a local charity. [01:41] Who are Triaster? In short, they build software solutions that drive business improvement. They are a thought leader in their field and strive to create new software to meet business needs. [02:25] What was the main driver for achieving ISO 27001? In 2020, they had certified to the Quality Standard, ISO 9001, and saw the many benefits that come with ISO certification. They saw ISO 27001 as both an opportunity and a necessity due to their work within the IT industry. ISO 27001 is seen as a mark of trust and provides a central framework to improve data security. [04:28] How long did It take to implement ISO 27001? They started looking at certification bodies and consultants to help with implementation in March 2021. The project overall lasted six months, with their assessments taking place in September and October of the same year. They also chose to recertify to ISO 9001 at the same time – this aligned both Standards under one Integrated Management System. [06:35] If you are considering implementing multiple ISO's, it's recommended to integrate them into a single Management System. This reduces the costs of implementation and is overall easier to maintain. [07:17] What was the biggest gap identified in Triaster's initial Gap Analysis? They had a lack of security policies in place in addition to a lack of processes that would have mitigated potential data security risks. [08:00] What was the biggest difference ISO 27001 made? They now do regular annual SWOT and PESTLE's that are evaluated at Management Reviews. Risks identified during those reviews are added to a risk register and are used to develop the necessary objectives and controls needed to mitigate future risk. [08:38] Other differences include the ability to track non-conformities, security risks and opportunities for improvement. They also have the confidence to prove their data security credentials to clients and have the required documentation to back it up. Tendering processes are also made easier by having ISO 27001 as it is often a requirement that can now be ticked off. [09:25] Triaster use Infrastructure partner (who are also ISO 27001 certified) and can now hold them accountable for the services they provide. [09:50] Jane states that they are now a much better business following the Implementation of both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 – continually improving their processes and scrutinising working practices. [10:54] All of the same security practices can be done by those who are homeworking at Triaster [11:05] What has been the main lesson learned? The process if certification is a journey – it's about continually improving and truly adopting the ethos of Information Security into every aspect of the business. [11:52] What are the main benefits? They hope their clients can see their efforts and have confidence in Triaster's ability to keep their data secure.

It means they must report on the people and materials in their supply chains to prove they are not involved in what’s termed modern slavery. Whether it be working conditions, where your raw materials come from, or worse, it’s not something any business needs on their record. So, it may not relevant to us now but we in small business know it won’t be long before this piece of legislation is coming for us too. But what if I told you that you can opt in? Having this tick of approval might help you get that lucrative corporate or govt contract. Or really prove you’re as socially conscious as you claim. So understanding and mitigating the risks in your supply chain is ethically important. So what is the 2018 Modern Slavery Act, the process for reporting and how is it now and into the future going to affect small businesses in Australia? Stephen and Sarah Morse already have decades of experience in this industry, some not so positive but are putting all of this into supporting businesses to understand the Act, be compliant and decrease their exposure to the Modern Slavery trade.

Legal professors, chambers Politically driven to happen before Federal legislation The global market in which we work, how does this impact small business supply chains What is the slave trade - definitions, inproving wages, workplace health & safety, access to healthcare, education, the broader community How to engage with an expert as a small business and what can you expect them to do to help you?

TJHP EP042 - This weeks episode of The Junior Hockey Podcast we are joined by Special Guest Gavin Cummings who played in the NA3HL for the Pittsburgh Vengeance and spent a little time playing for the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees in the NAHL. We had a great time talking about Gavin's Junior Hockey Career and what he believes is the biggest difference between the NAHL and NA3HL. We also talk about Junior Hockey as a whole and share some stories from our playing days. Gavin shared some teammates with Gresko, Sus and Pauly so we shared some funny moments and had a few laughs. We discussed the NAHL Draft and what Gavin's thoughts are about the Tendering and Drafting of NA3HL players given that he spent so much time in both those leagues. We answered a listener's question about the differences between the USPHL, EHL and EHL Premier and shared our opinions on what we believe is the best. We had a fun time talking with Gavin and we hope you guys enjoy this episode!
City Council is dealing with the issue of whether to move to a system of open tenders for municipal work. A new provincial law is allowing them to do that. Right now, in Toronto, the field of unions is limited to nine that have signed province-wide collective agreements. Approving this move could open bidding to both other union and non-union shops or there could be a compromise solution. Supporters say it could save tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, but opponents argue that in a construction boom, savings would not necessarily materialize, and safety and quality could be compromised. Libby speaks with Toronto City Councillors Stephen Holyday and Mike Layton on what they believe is the best option for the city moving forward.
Welcome to the confusing world of additional insured status. While this discussion is very general (there’s a deeper dive that can take place later), for your own protection, you need to know what additional insured status is in the first place. You also need to know the concepts of the duties to defend and indemnify.While dealing with predatory lawyers is bad enough, you will likely have to deal with negative polarity responding insurance adjusters, as well.This podcast episode is designed to give you some potential ammunition for handling insurance situations that might otherwise prove unmanageable.In this episode: • Additional insured status• The duty to defend• The duty to indemnify• Accord certificates• Tendering early and oftenTHE FINE PRINT This podcast is for general information only and not intended to be legal advice nor the formation of a lawyer-client relationship.

This week on the Construction Record podcast, national managing editor Vince Versace gives an update on the continued labour unrest in Ontario as ICI sector plumbers and steamfitters and sheet metal workers recently went on strike ending 30 years of labour peace with the Mechanical Contractors Association of Ontario. Vince also looks at how the provincial government will handle skilled trades training in Ontario with the elimination of the Ontario College of Trades. Vince also discusses open vs. closed tendering in Toronto and how the time for a decision is drawing near. He also requests listeners and readers vote for the podcast in Constructionjunkie.com's “Best Construction Podcast of 2019” contest. You can vote here. Journal of Commerce staff writer Russell Hixson and digital media editor Warren Frey take a deep dive into the recently concluded case between J. Cote and Son Excavating and the City of Burnaby which resulted in “reprisal clauses” being upheld, which Russell said could have a chilling effect as companies opt not to do business with municipalities for fear of being put on a blacklist if they take that municipality to court. Warren discussed a recent panel he attended put on by the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association of B.C. and Procore on construction and technology, and we also have a post-panel roundtable with Procore CEO Tooey Courtemanche, Scott Construction president Darin Hughes and Pitt Meadows Plumbing owner Steve Robinson.

So, in this episode of the More With Moreira Podcast, Desmond helps you with the process when choosing your new managing agent. The first step, tendering, is the most important. Learn what should you include in your checklist when you’re finally deciding on one. It will make a huge difference if you stick with a reliable professional managing agent. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of the time, clients can’t specify the reasons they want to switch agents. Desmond asks two important questions if there’s someone inquiring. These are: What are the three things you’re looking for in a managing agent? What are the three things you’re not happy with in respect to your current agent? The first step is to tender. Tendering is a process to select the right company. It’s an important step that you should be cautious about. Talk to them and try to build a rapport with them. Also, learn what to ask your potential agent. Make sure to cover everything you’re curious about and what you want. The next step to reevaluate your tender. If you’ve been scouting and talking to a lot of possible clients, compare their answers after you’ve talked to them. Third, look for existing case studies and ask for recommendations. Desmond does not encourage you to use it as a basis. But it’s a good guide for your pool of choices. Stray away from bad management. Pay someone who will do great. If you pay them well, they’ll most likely go the extra mile to give their best. BEST MOMENTS “Tendering is a key stage. It brings out the key questions.” “Even at that first instance you’re gonna select them, have a conversation with them.” “Definitely, you wanna be interviewing face-to-face, meet up at an agreed place… and, actually, have that formal face-to-face.” “Go for the tender process. Evaluate it carefully. Meet and speak with your potential managing agents. Don’t be fooled by the price.” ABOUT THE HOST I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!

Labour Market & Industrial Relations Review - Western Canada - Private Sector
Why open site(s) and open competition/bidding through the participation of multiple labour postures is necessary for de-risking the project, to maintain the competitiveness of the geographic area, and promote the health of industry stakeholders. This is a contrary view to that adopted by BC with the implementation of that iteration of "Community Benefits Agreement" or CBA's.

So you're sending out quotes, but NOT following them up hey! Series: Quoting Mistakes That Are Costing You Thousands. Cohost: Eve John from Fully Booked Tradie Chances are, we're all guilty of what we cover in this series. I know I certainly make mistakes in my quoting processes and I also know for sure that a very large number of my clients do. In this series we cover off on 'following up', 'why women control buying' and how 'more trust equals more sales' with the awesome Eve John from Fully Booked Tradies. Eve is a master at helping trade based organisations improve their bottom line through increasing their conversions and in this three part series, she goes above and beyond to best communicate the principles of the philosophy that she teaches to her clients and followers, Episode 1 What NOT following up is costing you Have you ever stopped to think about how much money you're potentially losing by not following up?It's pretty crazy how often we'll send out a quote, or a proposal then never make the effort to follow up on it. We've basically done most of the hard work, only to drop the ball in the final stages...and might I add, the most important stages. In this podcast Eve runs through the importance of having a reliable process in place to ensure that you're following up on your quotes regularly. It was interesting to hear about Eve's approach to using a combination of text messages, phone calls emails and even postal mail in the follow up sequence. I know sometimes when you're constantly calling clients, or prospects to follow up, it can make you seem desperate for the sale, however this approach kind of diffuses that a little. Anyway, this is episode one of three, so enjoy and if you like what you hear, or if you have any questions, you can post them in the show notes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary Bembridge author of "The Cruise Traveler's Handbook" provides another 60-Second Cruise Tip. For more visit 60secondcruisetips.com and subscribe free to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher Radio and TuneIn Plan a cruise to avoid tendering - especially when on big ships Tendering happens when a ship cannot dock in port and has to use tender boats to ferry passengers to and from land. Some reasons why your ship may not be able to dock include the port being full, the tides or winds are unfavourable or the dock facilities are not suitable for the size or type of the ship.When you are looking at cruise itineraries in brochures or online check each port listed to see if the ship will be docking or tendering there. Cruise lines usually know in advance and will include that information. I avoid cruises where there are lots of tender ports if I can, as it can be a frustrating experience - especially on large ships with thousands of passengers.They usually give preference to tendering off people on cruise line excursions in the morning and you can wait some time before you can leave the ship to self explore a port. It can also mean lengthy lines at the end of the day as everyone returns to the ship. There is also the risk of swells making uncomfortable journeys to and from the ship.
