June 10 Business Breakfast Aims to Help Local Companies Better Compete for City Contracts

Looking to bid on a contract with the City of Knoxville but don’t exactly know how to get started? Think your business is too small to compete for a piece of the $55 million in contracts that the City will be entering into this year?
Mark Wednesday, June 10, on your calendar.

The four-hour annual meet-and-greet Business Breakfast might just be a game-changer for local companies eager to grow – possibly by teaming with other companies to present more competitive bids, according to Boyce H. Evans, the City’s Director of Purchasing.
“Our No. 1 goal is to help match local businesses with the right project for their products and services,” Evans said. “For small and mid-size businesses, successfully bidding on a City contract can be a huge advantage. It could potentially take a small company or a start-up business to a new level."

The free breakfast, from 7:30-11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 10, will be offered at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum, 500 Howard Baker Jr. Ave. Free parking will be available in Parking Garage C on Historic Preservation Drive (one block south of Howard Baker Jr. Avenue, across from the Knoxville Marriott).
