Writing winning bids and proposals is a complex skill. This intensive half-day practical workshop offers a complete understanding of the best practices in bid, proposal, and tender writing. We will look at how to find contract notices, how to identify the right project, how to provide technically accurate, compliant and compelling responses to pre-qualification questions and tender and funding submissions. The aim is to equip attendees with the knowledge to create well-written, clear and targeted content, designed to achieve the highest scores and a winning bid!
When you submit a bid, tender or funding proposal, your expectation is to win it. To increase your chances, your business can benefit from our background of over 20 years' experience in bid writing and tender support, business communications and business development.
Understanding tender, PQQ and ITT documents and their marking criteria is crucial to success and so is answering each question! Simple you might think, but writing a bid has many pitfalls and we will take an in-depth look at some example questions and discuss how to avoid these.
You will come away from the event with a better understanding of the bid process and best practices in bid proposal and tender writing.
