Many businesses will have to tender for contracts and it can be a minefield.

Along with Tim Ward, CEO of OPPORTUNI and Dave Armstrong of ACSL we are hosting a webinar that will help you better manage the tender and bid process to help your business win contracts and cover funding options available when bonds are required by your client.

We will also discuss the importance of the early stages of the contract once you have been successful.
