Tender Victory provide two options for training your teams on all aspects of bid writing and understanding of the public sector procurement process:

• Virtual Workshops designed specifically for SMEs, which are delivered by our Bid Managers to provide you and your team with essential skills and support in all aspects of understanding procurement, managing and writing bids and tenders.
• Bespoke training packages tailored to your organisation’s specific needs and focused on the areas you/your team find the most challenging.

Virtual Workshops

At Tender Victory, our tender consultants specialise in writing winning tender responses for public sector contract opportunities. They use their knowledge and experience of the public sector, gained first hand, to share with clients their tips and expertise for creating winning tender responses.

Join one of our Virtual Workshops and learn how to navigate the procurement process, manage your bids more successfully and write winning tenders. These workshops are affordable and scheduled to fit comfortably within the working day. We limit the number of attendees to ensure each business gets the opportunity to raise queries and discussion points that will benefit their business.

Bespoke Training Packages

Tender Victory’s bespoke training packages are delivered in two areas and are tailored to the organisation to whom we are delivering – ensuring highly relevant content and leads to progress:

1) As public sector tenders are often seen as complex and difficult to break into, our Understanding Public Sector Procurement training package is designed to explain the regulations, acronyms and jargon in a clear and relevant way – enabling businesses to engage with public sector tendering and win important contracts.

2) Our Tender and Bid Writing training package has been designed to help clients draft winning tender responses, when bidding to the public sector.  However the content of this training is also equally applicable to commercial and private sector tendering, as many of the techniques used are transferable and relevant.

The attached summary of services provides an indicative agenda for both of these training packages. All training is bespoke. We tailor our delivery to the audience and organisation we are working with. Our outline agendas are modified to suit your organisation’s training needs, ensuring that your team gain targeted training which is right for your organisation.
