Once your business lands in New Hampshire, ongoing training is critical to stay up to date on the latest procurement practices and opportunities. Events and trainings give businesses the opportunity to ask questions and forge new connections in the world of government contracting. 
 
New Hampshire Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) offers special events and training programs on contracting-related topics.  Training sessions are tailored to meet the needs of clients. If specific areas of training are needed, contact NH PTAC.

NH PTAC, along with NH Small Business Administration and the NH Small Business Development Center co-host the NH Small Business Matchmaker event annually, providing companies with opportunities to meet face-to-face with small business specialists from government agencies and with small business liaison officers (SBLOs) from prime contractors.
