A helping hand to navigate the NEPO Portal

Published Tuesday, 27th February 2018

FIRMS and organisations in Hartlepool are invited to find out more about how they can find their way around and make the most of the NEPO Portal at a free event.

The NEPO Portal is the North-East Procurement Organisation’s online tendering system. It enables suppliers to search for tendering opportunities and submit electronic bids for work with NEPO’s 11 North-East member authorities, including Hartlepool Borough Council.

If the value of work is likely to be less than about £181,000, local authorities will often request quotations and many of the North-East local authorities do this through the NEPO Portal.

NEPO is holding a day of one-to-one one-hour appointments for suppliers to meet its Portal experts to get individual tailored support and advice.

The event – which is called ‘Navigating The NEPO Portal’ and is supported by Hartlepool Borough Council – is on Tuesday 20 March at Hartlepool Enterprise Centre in Brougham Terrace and the appointments are available from 9am to 4pm.

The appointments are suitable for any firm or organisation of any size which feels it would benefit from hands-on support in using the NEPO Portal, whether it is new to the Portal or not.

Places are limited, so appointments must be booked in advance online by clicking here.

Any Hartlepool companies requiring general business support should call Hartlepool Enterprise Centre on (01429) 867677 or email enterprise@hartlepool.gov.uk
