Seeking ideas on What to offer to local Governments ?

Many government entities, at least in the USA, work on a bidding process. To facilitate that, they have lists of "RFQ" (Request for Quotation) or Open Bids.

Check the local gov't website or administrator's office for their current projects.

Having worked with local governments for many years I can tell you that the range of services they buy is extremely varied.

A more appropriate question might be: "What kind of service are you prepared to sell to local government? And why would they want to purchase that service from you (given all the many other choices they have)?

Local government needs are much the same as private business needs - they have staffing issues, budgeting issues, customer service needs, data and technology needs, transportation and fleet issues, location and housing needs, personnel and payroll needs, and many, many more.

I can honestly tell you that unless you have the experience, track record, and ability to service a large corporation, trying to sell to public entities is going to be very difficult. Most of the products and services government purchases come after a solicitation, bidding, and contracting process. It is typically a very competitive and specialized way of doing business that is hard to break into unless you really understand what you're doing.

Public entity budgets are set in advance of the budget year and "impulse" sales are rarely a possibility. These days, every purchase is scrutinized and reviewed thoroughly. The typical type of Internet sales that most marketers do are not usually the type of purchases that public agencies buy (including services).

Just be aware that this type of business is outside the range of experience of most people here at the forum.

Do you care to be more specific about what type of service you're proposing to sell?
