New York is entering a massive era of development, with numerous large-scale projects currently in the pre-development and planning stages. The Bid Ready Series is designed to ensure that small businesses, including MWBEs and SDVOBs, are prepared to take advantage of these tremendous opportunities.  

We bridge the resource gap, connecting large contracting firms with small businesses, MWBEs, and SDVOBs that can assist them with complex projects. Through a blend of on-demand videos and live webinars, we provide:  

  • Contract Readiness: Learn exactly what is required—from compliance to capacity—to successfully bid, compete, and procure some of the state’s largest public and private construction projects.  
  • Strategic Partnerships: We connect small businesses, MWBEs, and SDVOBs with Prime contractors that need their help. 
  • Actionable Insights:  Receive step-by-step guidance on how to transition from small jobs to large-scale project participation.

Join us to scale your business, expand your network, and build the future of New York.
