Ready-to-Bid Services – Balance Scorecard

Balance Scorecard (available in the portal in coming months) – a tool that will help SMEs to determine their readiness to internationalize in the public markets. The scorecard is a simple tool that will allow you to anticipate your readiness to tender abroad. This will also allow you to assess whether to bid/not to bid and determine if a specific tender is worth bidding to or not.
