PTRC is pleased to announce a new training course, “Winning contracts and funding through effective bids and tenders”. This course is a practical, interactive and valuable guide to using bids and tenders effectively. Delegates will learn how to find opportunities, to effectively manage the process – and to significantly increase the chances of creating successful bids.
Why this course is important?
Every year, contracts worth many billions of pounds are put out to tender by private businesses and the public sector. In addition, local authorities and organisations within private sector prepare proposals to win a grant from variety of funding streams, for example, the Department for Transport’s funds, European Regional Development Funding and Big Lottery Fund. Competition for these contracts and funds is tough, especially in the current economic climate. Competition for these contracts and funds is tough, especially in the current economic climate. This course will help to get you into great shape for bidding, thereby hugely increasing the chance of your future bids being successful.
The workshop will give practical guidance on how to tackle bids from start to finish, giving you the skills and confidence for future competitions, regardless of scope, scale or complexity.
This course counts towards the Charted Institute of Transport and Highways (CIHT) CPD hours.
