So, you want to improve your chances of winning public sector tenders? Public sector tender training is a good place to start, and there are many courses available to businesses that need guidance at any stage of the public sector procurement process.
With updates to public procurement policies such as the Procurement Bill, public sector procurement and the tendering process are constantly changing. This means that if businesses want to continue winning tenders with the public sector, they need to keep up with these changes to ensure every bid meets the tender requirements and is completed with procurement best practice in mind.
It all starts with understanding how the public sector procurement process works and what buyers consider important (e.g. social value).
