Training

Please note this is a 3 day course on 1, 8 and 28 October 2009.

The programme workshops will provide important information on tendering processes and will enable participants to develop and practice proposal-writing skills. Each participant will increase their ability to achieve higher scoring bids by understanding the processes used in public procurement.

The workshops will look at ways you can help your organisation to develop an effective approach to meeting the needs of funders and avoid the type of basic mistakes that often rule out or undervalue an otherwise comprehensive bid for a grant or contract.

The objectives of the programme are to:

• Improve knowledge and awareness of public procurement processes
• Increase the capacity of participants to collaborate and/or compete with other organisations (across sectors) in bidding for and securing tendered service contracts
• Develop the ability to produce a credible and winnable proposal in response to an invitation to tender and terms of reference issued by a third party organisation
• Improve communication and influencing skills.

Facilitator: Richard O'Rawe, Aurion Consultancy

Please note: if there is substantial demand we will run additional courses.
