to miss:
Preparing tenders
A one day Library Association workshop on 29 March, in London
An organisation's standing orders and financial regulations, coupled with
the European Procurement Directives, make tendering a regular feature of
procurement. A tendering exercise that is properly prepared, presented and
evaluated will 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 will benefit from attending?
Those involved in the preparation or evaluation of tenders.
