We are more than happy to discuss your needs and see what is the best course or solution for your business.
All our training has been created to be highly practical. This is not death by PowerPoint, nor delivered by a 'trainer'. The course is delivered by Charles, who, prior to forming our training division, was our Bid Manager. He has won billions of pounds for our clients across a vast array of sectors. He still reviews bids and supports our bid team. You are in safe hands.
On this bid writing course you will find out how to improve your success rates through gaining an understanding of both bid writing and the bid process, discussing topics such as bid pipelines, pre-bid work and the all-important bid/no bid process.
This 2-day course provides a wider view of bidding, beyond just bid writing. The focus of the course content and delivery is simply how to win more work through formal tenders and proposals. We also cover the practical role of AI in the bid process, including how it can support planning, drafting, reviewing and improving clarity.
It gives insight into what it takes to consistently plan and write winning bids and tenders.
As a CPD Accredited Course, you will earn you 12 CPD points across the 2 days.
In the first day of our bid writing course we cover the following areas, which are focused on creating business winning systems:
Understanding the public sector
Getting tender ready
The front end of the process
The back end of the process
The second day gets more stuck into the actual writing, including how to respond to tender quality questions and write winning proposals.
Understanding the buyer
Bid writing
Presentation
“I recently attended the 2-day Bid Writing Masterclass CPD in Manchester, delivered by Charles Grosstephan. This was my first experience of formal bid writing training, so I attended with no expectations. The course was extremely informative, interesting and engaging and I am pleased to have gained valuable knowledge that I can apply to bids going forwards. I have came away feeling motivated and energised. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone starting a career in bidding and tendering or for anyone seeking a refresher on best practice.”
Dan Ranson – Equans
“I recently attended the two day bid writing course and found it informative, engaging and really well structured. Charles is a fantastic teacher and somehow manages to pack in a massive amount of tips given the duration of the training. He ensures everyone in the group is learning and understanding at the right pace, whilst creating a comfortable environment to ask questions. I feel more confident in my ability to improve the bids I'm writing and reach those top marks using the tools provided. I highly recommend this course offered by Thornton & Lowe.
