Course Development and Delivery: Scrum Applied to Procurement

Amendment 2: This amendment is being executed to provide updated versions of the Presentation Deck and the Bid Submission Form (scaleup_bsf_scrum_en_v3_l.pdf). During the Webinar it became apparent that there was an issue with the fillable pdf form not indicating that this solicitation is a set-aside for micro and small businesses that are also part of an identified underrepresented group.

All other aspects of the solicitation remain the same.
