Why Teaming?

Finding companies with complementary skills and capabilities can help your business win government contracts. With the right teaming partner, you can qualify for opportunities that you wouldn’t otherwise and expand your capacity to compete and perform on acquisitions. Next week, Give Me 5 will bring you into the conversation with a one-on-one interview between Michelle Thompson-Dolberry and Denise Rodriguez-Lopez, exploring the potential gains in teaming arrangements for women owned businesses. WIPP sat down with Michelle and Denise to get a preview of what you can expect to learn in this course:

Michelle: What advantages does Teaming provide for small businesses?

Denise: Teaming provides small businesses with an effective strategy to pursue procurement opportunities that may be too board or large for them to undertake on their own. With teaming, businesses can increase their capabilities and capacity with the end result that there are more opportunities available to them.

Michelle: What kind of Teaming arrangements do small businesses use?

Denise: There are a variety of teaming options to suit each need. Some of these are: partnerships, joint ventures, mentor-protégé arrangements, contract teaming arrangements and the contractor/sub-contractor relationship.

Michelle: How can I find potential Teaming Partners?

Denise: You can find potential teaming partners at industry and trade events, government sponsored activities, and by joining business and professional organizations. In addition if you see an opportunity on Fed Biz Opps that interests you, tag it as an interested party and review who has done the same. I have seen teams form by monitoring who else is interested in an opportunity.
