Winning Contracts Training in October

More and more services are being provided outside of the mainstream public sector.  This has created new opportunities for third sector providers but inevitably means bidding in competition for funding.

Third sector organisations need the capacity to demonstrate how they add value and offer competitive advantage in order to attract public funds.

The Winning Contracts programme is a great way to increase the capacity of your organisation to do this.

The programme is designed for organisations making or intending to make competitive bids for grants and service contracts and is delivered by Richard O’Rawe and Frank McGlone in three workshops on 1, 8 and 28 October at NICVA.

It costs £500 for members and £700 for non-members.

The three workshops will provide important information on tendering processes and will enable you, as participants, to develop and practice proposal-writing skills.  Each participant will learn about the processes used in public procurement and increase their likelihood of success.

The workshops will look at ways you can develop an effective approach to meeting the needs of funders and avoid the type of basic mistakes that often rule out or undervalue an otherwise comprehensive bid for a grant or contract.
