We're going through all of that feedback we've gathered through both an online consultation that was open, but also through those live interactive sessions, you know, face to face.
And we're using that feedback to put together Ireland's first ever public procurement strategy.
And also at an EU level and a lot of kind of the legal aspects
The legal side of public procurement comes from EU directives.
So we're also feeding into a revision that's happening at an EU level on public procurement directives.
So there's a lot going on in this space.
And I suppose my message is really clear to SMEs and entrepreneurs.
It is worth your while investing in this area because I meet companies all the time who went to tender, got a massive contract, and that contract changed their business trajectories.
It made them in a position that they could hire new staff.
It helped them grow.
It helped them get even more business because now they had a government contract.
So it is worth having a look at it.
We have our expo happening all day today, which I would encourage people to go to.
And on top of that, we have an awful lot of online toolkits and facilities available through the website.
Oh, just online.
If you just search Government's Player Expo, it's the first thing that comes up.
And I suppose there will be a lot for those smaller businesses there today.
Microfinancing Ireland will be there to talk about how to access credit.
EPA and Supply Chain Sustainability School will be there about reducing carbon emissions.
And we'll also have the National Enterprise Hub to talk SMEs and entrepreneurs through all of the grants available to them.
