This is a full day training course covering the do's and don'ts of successful tendering. It's been designed to help contractors improve your bidding strategy, and do more work with the public sector.
The course will be ran by members of the SEC team.
Session 1: Public Procurement: The ongoing changes - What procurement routes are available to you, and how have these changed given the new procurement regulations in force from February 2025. We'll explain the changes and what they mean for you as a supplier.
Session 2: Setting you up for success: Pre-bid strategies, client relationships, developing winning bids and Better Quality Submissions - An interactive session to help you prepare to bid and set you up with the best chance to win. How to explore if you should bid at all, and what to look out for. We'll also learn how to build your bid map and key pre-tender information. You will also understand how to write compelling responses to quality questions and the four key areas to bidding effectively. You'll gain insight into understanding your USP and ensuring this is utilised within your bid responses.
Lunch Break & Campus Tour - During the lunch break, there will be a tour of the Canterbury Campus.
Session 3: Successfully Navigating Cost Models - How to complete your cost models and the importance of precision and thoroughness. Avoid the common pitfalls, and ensure your submissions stand out in the right way.
Session 4: Portals and How to use them - We'll look at how to work best with Proactis and Intend and navigate you through the process from start to finish.
