Power up your bidding performance with proven bid management strategies

This one‑day, in‑person course is designed for managers and teams involved in bids and tenders who want to strengthen control of the process, improve consistency, and increase their success rates. The session focuses on how bids are planned, governed, resourced, and continuously improved.

What You’ll Learn

Through practical, real‑world guidance, participants will explore how to:

The course also covers key aspects of the modern bidding environment, including:

• Using data and insight to support strategic decisions

Participants will leave with practical templates, tools, and checklists they can use immediately.
