Description

This 1 day Bid Writing training course covers:

Understanding the Buyer

  • What buyers want – looking at how they assess and evaluate your submissions
  • Where to start – when the PQQ or tender arrives; what do we need to do before writing

Bid Writing

  • Getting the story right – win themes and storyboarding
  • Structure – ensuring compliance and added value
  • Benefit before the feature - getting the right message across at the right time
  • Referencing the specification - tailoring your response to the requirement
  • The importance of ‘bid reviews’ - ensuring accuracy, compliance and consistency

Presentation

  • Keep it clear, concise and easy to read
  • Use of flow diagrams, images and colour
  • Best use of supporting documents

The cost of the training is £305+VAT (discounts are available for multiple bookings). This includes all course material, lunch and refreshments throughout the day. A 10% early bird discount is available until 1 month before the course date.

Who is this course for?

Our training is open to anyone at any level within your organisation, commercial or charitable, who is involved in the tender process and who is looking to improve your company’s success rate.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
