This practical and interactive workshop will help you to prepare comprehensive and conforming bids to tender for government and private sector contracts.

Increase your chances of tendering success. Are you a regional Queensland business? Want to stand out from your competitors and improve your chances of winning tenders?

You’ll learn how to write an effective tender response that outlines the expertise, experience and value-add activities of your business to procurement managers who are responsible for assessing if you are the right fit for their supply chain. In the workshop, we’ll cover:

how to interpret tender documentation
how to prepare responses to key criteria
understanding the importance of non-price criteria vs price
common pitfalls and traps
where to look for current and upcoming tendering opportunities
how to conduct market research to maximise your chances of success.
