Public contracts (again)
Finally had my debrief on why I got nowhere with the contract to produce 315 degrees, the magazine of the North West Regional Development Agency.
Apparently my answers were not detailed enough.
I blame the 30 odd years of journalism which have trained me to be brief. There was me thinking business people would appreciate a quick read so they could get on with what they are good at.
On a brighter note, an associate emailed me about a bid we are co-operating on in some distress because Professional Indemnity Insurance, minimum £250,000, and a policy schedule for Public Liability Insurance was being demanded.
And guess what?
I’ve got them!!!!!
