What People Are Saying About Our Training
I found tendering for work to the public sector a big challenge and we were losing out to our
competitors. Tender Managements training really opened my eyes to what winning tenders is all
about. It certainly worked for my company and I am sure it will work for yours.
Business Development Manager Environmental Services

We could not work out why we werent winning our local authority tenders. We had a great
track record and our pricing was competitive but we just could not win the contracts. TMs
training made all the difference, weve put things right and now we are winning on a regular
basis.
Contracts Manager Facilities Management

What I liked about the training was that it showed me exactly how to go about improving our
tender scores. It was delivered by real experts whose job day in day out is to write tenders and
so they had lots of practical advice to offer. If you want to win more tenders then these are the
go to guys.
Sales Director Recruitment Sector

Tender Managements course was full of practical advice and it was delivered in a
straightforward way by trainers who really know their stuff. I found out where I was going
wrong and how to put things right. I took lots of great ideas back into the office and we have
doubled our win rate.
Bid Manager Construction Industry

If only I had found these people before I tried to put tenders together I could have saved
myself a lot of hard work and disappointment. I got so many top tips from the sessions and
when I put them into practice I started getting results straight away.
