Delivery of services to the public sector is an important market for enterprising Third Sector organisations.

How do you find out about these opportunities and how do you write a successful tender document?

Designed specifically for managers and staff of Third Sector organisations, who have responsibility for business development and tender writing, the workshops will offer practical guidance for organisations wishing to compete for public sector contracts.
