How to Complete Tender Documents
What is this course about?
A tender lost on a technicality is exactly as costly as one lost on price. This 1-day workshop covers bidders' meetings and compliance requirements, building work breakdown schedules, calculating risk costs, and getting mark-ups and payment terms right, alongside a methodical process for final submission. The result: tender documents that are accurate, compliant, and submitted on time.
