Small Business
Minister Craig Foss is encouraging small businesses to
utilise the Electronic Tender Service (GETS) — a free
web-based service for information on New Zealand Government
tender opportunities.
“Small business owners who
want to be part of the Government procurement process often
don’t know how to go about it — registering with GETS is
a great place to start,” Mr Foss says.
“The
Companies Office recently begun including GETS information
in its annual return correspondence to New Zealand
companies. The same information is also going to all newly
incorporated companies.
“I understand small
business owners are very busy people with a number of
pressures on their time. GETS is a free service that allows
them to find business opportunities without leaving their
office.
“I strongly encourage all small businesses
to sign up to GETS to ensure they’re aware of the latest
opportunities in their area of expertise or
region.”
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
