Bid Writing Course
The bid writing course was very informative and I learnt a lot about the small details that make the difference to your overall tender score. Jamie was a really engaging teacher and I very much enjoyed the two afternoons with him and the class. Would definitely recommend the course and his services if you're thinking about bid writing and tendering as a whole.
