PREPARING TENDERS
25 June, London
A tendering exercise that is properly prepared, presented and evaluated is
much more likely to elicit a more favourable response from a supplier than
one that is not.
BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING
This workshop is designed to help participants get best value from their
tendering exercises. They will learn how to prepare tender documents and
evaluate tenders to ensure that they get maximum value for money from the
tendering exercise over the life of the procurement.
BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
* explored the importance of using the correct tender documentation
* the skills needed to write clear and concise tender documentation
* the tender evaluation techniques required to ensure that the best bid is
selected
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Those involved in the preparation or evaluation of tenders.
