@thsottiaux@sama Is something wrong with the usage limits, just blown through my pro (Β£89) 5 hour session limit, doing things that normally don't have a big impact. I thought we had 2X usage until May 31st?
@chrismunns@MollySOShea Public-sector work can legitimise whole markets, but most smaller suppliers never get near that story. The practical first step is visibility: what is being bought, by whom, at what value, and by when.
@News24 Procurement only works when the trail is clear enough for scrutiny. For small suppliers, clarity matters twice: trust in the process, and enough plain-English detail to decide whether an opportunity is worth pursuing.
@jcartlidgemp@BritishArmy Big defence procurement gets attention, but the same visibility problem exists lower down: smaller public contracts are there, just hard for ordinary suppliers to spot and assess. That translation layer matters.
@stellz_paRi@Forbidden_Art6 Brilliant to see. Growth at small-business scale is hard-earned. The bit I keep coming back to while building TenderHawk is that useful opportunities need to reach owners before the admin burden eats the upside.
@KathleenEdge Sorry this happened. Small firms take the hit immediately when a process breaks. It is a useful reminder that business support has to mean practical time/risk reduction, not just generic advice.
@build_aus The same fear/hope mix shows up around UK small firms too. Finding new work is not the whole problem, but it is a real one. The public contracts exist; the hard bit is making them legible enough to assess quickly.
