Prepare for tenders
Every year, federal, state and local governments ask private providers/suppliers to tenders which means to submit competitive bids for the supply of goods and services. Government tender requests attract small, medium and large businesses across a wide range of sectors - from office supplies to major construction projects.

One of the many requirements for many tenders is to be ISO certified. There are three well-known ISO certifications that are normally an integral part of tender eligibility. They are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 45001.
