WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Remove the stigma around finding, writing and submitting tenders for government and contractor work.

This workshop unravels how the excitement of coming across new tendering opportunity relevant to your business can often be overshadowed by the excessive amount of time and effort in reviewing the paperwork and producing a fitting response. Implementing effective tendering procedures for small businesses can save hours of time, and significantly increase the success of your submissions.

In this session you will learn about procurement processes, tender opportunities available, collaborative bidding, writing winning tenders, and tips to improve your tender responses.

This session is presented by IMG and includes a complimentary follow up meeting or telephone call to assist in preparing or submitting a tender.
