On the Panel: A Small Business Guide to Panel Contracts

On the Panel: A Small Business Guide to Winning and Keeping Government Panel Work

You know panels exist. Now let’s get you appointed to one — and turn it into years of repeat work instead of a single contract opportunity.

Written by a former government procurement evaluator with 15 years on the other side of the table, this guide takes you through the entire journey most small businesses never see:

✅ Where panel opportunities are actually advertised — before the window closes

✅ How panels really work (direct engagement vs. mini-competition)

✅ How to prepare a submission that survives first screening

✅ How evaluators genuinely score applications — and how to write to the rubric

✅ A claim–evidence–relevance framework for selection criteria that scores

✅ What to expect once you’re appointed — and how to become the supplier they keep calling ✅ BONUS: Your First 7 Days Action Checklist
