Tender Writing

Tender Writing Training

Duration – 5 hours with recommended full up consultancy support on live tender

Introduction: It is common nowadays for organisations to use the tendering process to procure goods and services. It is critical therefore that businesses possess the skills to effectively complete tender responses, maximising the score awarded in order to be successful in winning contracts.

Delivery approach 1: In-house consultancy support. This approach involves working with the company’s tender drafting team on a live or representative tender to assist with the development of tender responses. Delegates subsequently learn from practical application rather than a theoretical discussion. Customers can “buy” consultancy hours in banks of 3 hours at a time.

Delivery approach 2: Attend a 5 hour training workshop: The training workshop will introduce delegates to the tendering process including guidance on how to draft responses to typical questions that may appear on a tender. Delegates are also encouraged to bring a sample tender to the training workshop, if possible.
