We hope you have found this information useful in navigating the tendering and procurement processes used by government. Like any skill, mastery comes from practice and being prepared to learn and improve. The rewards for a business can be significant if you are able to master the art of tendering.
The key takeaways from this module are:
- Review your tender response thoroughly and ensure it is proofread and checked by another person.
- Always leave enough time to submit your response well ahead of closing time.
- If you win a tender, ensure you manage clear lines of communication with the buyer, tracking and recording on all requirements.
- If you are unsuccessful, request a debrief and consider other ways to improve your future bids, such as the Supply to Gov Workshop held by the Office of the Industry Advocate.
