Smart Bidding - How to win pitches, bids and grants
If you don't know how to bid for public and private sector contracts (or even how to find out about them) this workshop will demystify the process.
It is possible for smaller businesses, charities and social enterprises to win grants and contracts - you just need to know how.
You'll leave fully armed with the knowledge to start bidding successfully.
The workshop will include:
• A panel discussion
• Finding out about opportunities
• An insight into how procurement departments work in the public and private sector as well as larger organisations
• Deciding what work to bid for and whether collaboration would help
• Understanding what might make you win or lose a tender
• Practical advice on writing bids and grants
• Understanding your business better and what your value proposition is
• Q&A with procurement experts
Chaired by Emma Mills-Sheffield, who will be joined by our panels who have experiences from both side of the process:
• Clifford Youngman, Head of Procurement, Orbis Partnership
• Julian Wood, Head of Procurement & Insurance Services at University of Brighton
• Richard Freeman, CEO, always possible
• Brian Rousell, Director of Engineering, Shoreham Port
• Jo Crease, CEO, Together Company
This will be an interactive event with questions and answers and a chance to work on your business in small groups.
You’ll leave with an action plan you can put in place with your new skills.
Date and time: Thu 3 Dec, 9.15 am – 11.45 am
Smart Bidding is part of the Catch the Wave business support programme.
