How to tender *NEW*

What?
At a time when there is a strong drive towards increased public service delivery by the third sector in Wales, tendering is beginning to replace the traditional route of grant funding.

It is vital that the sector responds quickly and innovatively to these changes by understanding the opportunities available and how to take advantage of them.

This 2-day training course will:

  • Explain the role of procurement and tendering in today’s funding climate.
  • Help you to assess your potential for tendering.
  • Take you step by step through the tendering process.
  • Allow you to practice your bid writing skills.
  • Provide an insight into what purchasers are looking for.

This interactive course provides a mix of presentations, group work and open discussion. All participants will receive a comprehensive pack of tools and resources to assist them in their work.

Who?
For third sector staff and/or trustees with a responsibility for strategic direction and financial management.

It is suitable for those new to tendering, or for those wishing to gain a further insight and skill into preparing winning tenders.
