Win Contracts through Sustainability (Circularity) Leadership

Next date: Friday, 13 March 2026 | 10:00 AM

Sustainability and circular economy fluency are no longer “nice to have” - they are fast becoming essential for winning public and private sector contracts.

Join Frankston City Council and FTD Circular for a practical, in-person workshop designed to help local businesses strengthen their competitive edge through sustainability and circular-economy leadership. This 90-minute session will demystify what buyers are looking for, showcase real-world case studies, and provide clear, actionable strategies that businesses can apply immediately - regardless of size or sector.

The workshop will be delivered by Vanessa Cullen, Founder and Director of FTD Circular, with 24 years’ experience running a successful built-environment consultancy and deep expertise in sustainability and circular economy implementation. Vanessa works extensively with government, developers and major asset owners, and is a Green Building Council of Australia - Green Star - Circular Strategies Expert Reference Panel member.

Workshop participants will gain a practical understanding of how sustainability and circularity are influencing procurement decisions, how to embed these principles into everyday operations, and how to respond confidently to sustainability-related requirements in EOIs, tenders and contracts. You’ll also be introduced to CircularSupply.au and learn how to leverage local suppliers and social enterprises to support delivery, reduce risk, and demonstrate genuine impact.

If you want to future-proof your business, stand out in competitive tenders, and position yourself as a partner of choice, this workshop is for you.
