supplyconnect@newable.co.ukSupply Connect Procurement Club: Tender Responses That Win
About this event
Improve your tender responses and win more contracts
Are you investing time and effort into bids and tenders, only to be left wondering why you didn't win?
Many government organisations, local authorities and large corporates are actively looking to work with SMEs, local businesses and diverse suppliers. Yet many businesses struggle to identify the right opportunities, understand what buyers are looking for and create submissions that stand out from the competition.
This session aims to change all that by equipping you with the knowledge, tips and techniques to identify the opportunities most likely to lead to success. You'll discover how to make every bid count, create submissions that highlight what makes your business stand out, demonstrate your suitability and significantly improve your chances of winning contracts.
During the session, there will be many opportunities to share your previous experiences with bids and tenders and get answers to your specific questions. We will explore the how, what and why of successful bidding, helping you understand exactly what you can do differently to achieve better results.
Key takeaways
- Building a proven checklist that you can apply immediately to future bids and tenders
- Shortlisting potential opportunities 'what to look for and what to ignore'
- Techniques for structuring a good answer
- Using Artificial Intelligence to help
