Understanding Tendering

Event date: Mon 22 Mar 2010 11:00 to 17:00
Location: E1 5NF

This workshop aims to help SMEs that want to learn more about writing winning bids and tenders.

Writing a winning bid needs more than just optimism and belief in your company's ability to deliver great products and services. Ideally, you must be able to persuade a buyer - in writing - that you are the ideal supplier for them. It is vital that you use your time effectively in order to increase your chances of success.

By the end of this session attendees will be able to:

• Select opportunities carefully and appropriately through strong PQQs
• Understand the client's requirements and provide the best response
• Understand how to start and prepare for writing a winning tender (the hardest part)
• Reduce time and cost in writing bids through better planning of resources
• Maximise the potential of winning by writing for impact and raising your profile
• Use practical tools to continually improve your bid writing capabilities and skills

Trainers: Supply London has a track record in helping London SMEs to win contracts. This session will be facilitated by Sharma Guness - Chartered Marketer, and bid writer for Pera.
