HOW TO SUBMIT A
SUCCESSFUL TENDER?
As a Contracts Officer for a County Council I drafted and issued tenders for
substance misuse services and was involved in the evaluation and implementation
of the contracts. You can benefit from my experience and expertise through:
• Workshops covering the basics of tendering; how to understand
evaluation criteria and tips on how to submit a successful tender.
• 1 to 1 support on any aspect of tendering. This can be provided in a
combination of face to face sessions and via email.
• Full tender service from expressing an interest in a tender, through
drafting your tender submission; requesting and understanding
feedback and support with the implementation of the contract.
If you would like to discuss what I can do to help you and your organisation then
please do not hesitate to contact me for an informal and no obligation chat.
