Overview
Love it or loathe it, tendering is an unavoidable part of doing business in the education and skills sector — and a crucial one if you want to grow and sustain your provision.
With UK procurement law requiring a competitive bidding process for most public sector contracts, your ability to write compelling, strategic tenders can be the difference between securing future business or missing out.
This focused, practical session led by experienced tender expert Steve O’Hare will give you the tools and insight to improve your tender win rate, avoid common pitfalls, and develop more impactful submissions. Whether you're reviewing unsuccessful bids or planning your next major opportunity, this is a must-attend webinar for anyone involved in writing, managing or mobilising tenders.
Objectives
This session will help you:
- Understand the key themes that appear consistently in successful tenders
- Learn what “win themes” look like from a buyer’s perspective — and how to apply them
- Identify areas for improvement in past bids and create a practical plan for future success
- Gain a clearer picture of how buyers score and interpret your content
- Turn feedback into a tool for continuous improvement
