Writing Successful Tenders

Not all organisations have the luxury of an in-house procurement team to complete tender responses to retain clients and win new business. This can often result in missed opportunities which these businesses are certainly skilled and capable enough to fulfill. Even those that do have a team can still often let critical errors creep in, again resulting in them missing out.

The ability to write a competitive and strong tender submission requires preparation, planning and time. So how can the process be simplified? What needs to be included and considered to ensure a successful and winning tender? This one day course is unique, in that it not only takes you through the steps required to submit a successful tender, but will also educate you on the underlying principles behind all successful tenders, and why some tenders always fail. This course will show you:
