Tendering for Success
Tuesday 28th September 2010
Over the last few years government organisations have
increasingly replaced their grant funding of the voluntary

through open and competitive tendering and some are ‘large
and complex’.
Effective tendering requires a knowledge of the relevant
legislation, policy drivers, and the step-by-step procedures
involved in ‘tendering for success’. It also requires a clear
understanding of what procurement officers want to see in
your tender document and how to ensure that your tender
scores well at the appraisal stage.
