There are lots of opportunities for businesses to tender for government contracts, but how do you decide which ones to respond to?
The volume and types of tenders offered by government can seem overwhelming, and given the cost, time and effort involved in developing a tender response, it is not feasible to bid for every contract on offer.
Businesses can make more educated decisions about where to devote their precious time and resources by quantifying and qualifying government opportunities.
In this module
In this module we look at how a business can go about making a decision to bid or not by assessing their own capabilities, risks and position in the marketplace against the opportunity on offer.
We also walk through the rules, legislation and processes associated with government procurement, so you can invest your time and resources in the right opportunities.
