EFFECTIVE BID PREPARATION WORKSHOP

A virtual public workshop for professionals who coordinate and manage tender responses.

Course overview

Coordinating and compiling a high-quality tender response is a demanding job with a lot of competing priorities.

It can be easy to lose sight of the process in such a fast-paced environment where the clock is always ticking.

Throughout this 2 x 2.5-hour workshop, you will learn a project management approach to run a successful bid. That is, a step-by-step guide to manage all the key bid coordination tasks from beginning to end.

You will also receive guidance on how to manage the role within the broader bid team environment to manage stakeholders, complete multiple tasks and produce a successful tender response.

2 x 2.5-hour sessions – $495 (ex GST)
