Overview...
It is becoming increasingly clear that government organisations are replacing many grants to the third sector with contracts. It is equally clear that third sector organisations need to explore and ready themselves for the whole arena of commissioning including competitive tendering for contracts.
Effective Tendering requires an understanding of the policies and the practical background within which public sector procurement is taking place. It also requires a clear understanding of what procurement officers want to see in your tender document and how to ensure your tender scores well at the appraisal stage. This workshop will show you exactly what's involved and equip you with the skills and knowledge to gain an advantage over your competitors.
