Live webinar | Monday 19 October 2026 | 6:00pm to 7:15pm
Take a Seat at the Buying Table
You're good at what you do. So why does the contract keep going to someone else? In 75 minutes, a buyer who has awarded over £8 billion in contracts shows you where the contracts are, what "tender-ready" really means, and three live opportunities you could go after this month.
Your £47 is credited in full if you join the Contract Win Accelerator.
If This Sounds Familiar, This Session Is for You
- You've spent evenings and weekends on a bid, and the feedback told you nothing.
- You know you could deliver the contract. You just never seem to get the chance.
- You search the portals, see hundreds of notices, and don't know which ones are really for you.
- You've been told you're “too small”, or you've quietly started to believe it.
- You watch the same bigger firms win, and you're not sure what they know that you don't.
None of this means you're not good enough. It usually means nobody has shown you how the buyer sees your business.
Three Things You'll Know by 7:15pm
1
Where the contracts actually are
The portals, frameworks and places most SMEs never look, and how to search them in minutes, not hours.
2
What “tender-ready” really means to a buyer
The checks made before your answers are even read, and the gaps that quietly rule good businesses out.
3
Real opportunities, live
Three current contracts, read the way a buyer reads them: who should bid, who shouldn't, and why.
Plus live Q&A, so you can ask about your own situation.
Hear It from Someone Who Made the Decisions
Adrian Betton MCIPS spent 25 years on the buying side across government, the NHS, construction, financial services and major national programmes, awarding over £8 billion in contracts. He has read thousands of bids, sat in the moderation rooms and seen exactly why strong businesses lose. Now he's on your side of the table.

Who Should Join
- Established UK businesses that want public-sector or corporate contracts

- Anyone tired of guessing what the buyer wants
Not for anyone looking for a guaranteed win. Nobody can honestly promise that. This shows you how the decision is really made.
