What bids and tenders look like - Tenders come in different formats, not always just as word documents or online text boxes

Terminology - From SQ to CQs, there’s a fair bit of bid specific jargon to get familiar with

Looking at compliance (as an initial bid/no bid) - Not every bid is right for you and you will need to get over the show stoppers first, so you can spend your time on the right opportunities

Policies & procedures - Responding to a bid requires more than written
answers. We will go through the type of documents you will need to have in place

Writing tips - Bid writing is its own style. We’ll provide you with a few tips and suggestions to get you started

What to write about - Bids require you to provide particular information in your responses. We’ll provide you with some areas to include to help write strong responses

Gainingexperience - You will need to show you can deliver what the buyer is asking for. We will provide pointers and tips on how you can easily get this valuable experience

Who is this course for?

Suitable for anyone involved who is new to bidding and is wanting to bid

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
