The material is all David's original work and contains his own unique views and observations accumulated over 30 years of bidding for contracts as a contractor and more recently in his role as lead consultant, procuring the services of architects, project managers, quantity surveyors, contractors and cleaning companies for public sector clients, through the OJEU process.

Benefits for those attending include:

  • * Identifying mistakes that you may be making without realising
  • * Identifying simple steps you could take to significantly improve your chances of success
  • * Hearing and ‘insiders’ view on what client’s evaluation panels are really looking for
  • * Find out what two small companies did to take them from the 2nd division to the top of the Premier League in a matter of weeks

The presentation will be of interest and of value to anyone who is trying to pre-qualify for tenders; submit bids or win contracts, particularly in these difficult economic times.

Hot food will be served at the end of the event, allowing time for networking and further discussion.
