The Tender Academy - An Introduction to Tendering
The Tender Academy - An Introduction to Tendering
This is a densely packed, short course with 59 minutes of narrated video animation spanning 8 lectures, introducing you to tendering in the public sector, full of information, guidance and tips on how tenders work and what to do when preparing your tender bids.
The tendering process in the UK public sector can be a bureaucratic minefield with each public sector body (local council, NHS trust, university etc) having its own set of rules and procedures. However, there are some general, governing principles that apply to all competitive tenders.
Competition can be fierce as public bodies spend a lot of money outsourcing contracts to businesses, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Many larger organisations have bid writing teams to compete for these contracts. However, tender writing is an art. It is a skill and it can be learned! You don't need a bid writing team to win a tender. Don’t be intimidated by the bureaucracy and process because in the end it all comes down to knowing your business and knowing what your buyer wants.
This course will cover the basics. It will introduce you to key concepts like:
what is a tender
open (1 stage) vs restricted (2 stage tendering procedures)
selection questionnaires (SQs)
OJEU thresholds
the general structure of most tenders
how are tenders evaluated
scoring mechanisms used in tenders
what quality questions will be asked and how to approach them
how does the pricing work in tendering
You will get lifetime access to the course, all of it's content and resources.
