Learn the skills and techniques to confidently master the craft of public sector bidding
Bid training
Learn what it takes to bid successfully in the public sector
Why:
Be the best you can be at bidding
Bids are only as good as the teams that create them. And if your team lacks the skills or is unsure of what ‘good’ looks like, then you won’t get the best results.
Good training goes beyond telling people what to do. To fully understand, absorb, and apply the learning, your people need to understand why it matters. This leaves them better equipped to test new approaches and problem-solve for themselves.
What:
Training needs
We start by listening to your training needs and build a plan around them. After all, this is about you, not us. Want to focus on capture management and bid strategies? Not a problem. Rather spend more time on bid writing and reviewing? We get it.
Our courses can be delivered in-person, online, or with a flipped seminar approach using our eLearning platform followed by a live session. Whatever you prefer, our courses are interactive and engaging, with exercises and group work to give you the best learning experience.
Bidding Fundamentals
Our Bidding Fundamentals course is focussed on public sector bidding and guides you through the essential practices across the whole bidding lifecycle.
We step through the key stages and activities, and explain the why, what, how, who and when to help you apply the learning straight away.
Our Bidding Fundamentals course is perfect for people new to bidding, technical subject matter experts, or seasoned bidding professionals wanting a refresher of good bidding practices.
Bidding Masterclasses
We use our real-world learned experience to unpack high-impact bidding topics, such as:
- Public sector procurement

Results:
- Improve results by mastering the art of public sector bidding.

- Integrate new starters and align teams around best practices.
Career Transition Partnership
We are a Preferred Supplier to the CTP
What:
Armed Forces support
The CTP scheme provides resettlement services to those that are leaving/have left the Armed Forces and are looking to apply for civilian jobs – from creating a CV, learning skills and researching/applying for jobs.
Part of the scheme is a list of preferred suppliers that have been vetted to supply training. We are the only supplier approved for bid and proposal training (APMP or otherwise).
Why:
Skilled people
Why are we doing this? People leaving the Armed Forces bring exactly the strengths our industry depends on: leadership that’s been tested, decision making skills, clear communication under pressure, meticulous planning, disciplined delivery, sharp analysis, and calm coordination of diverse teams. These are the foundations of effective bid management.
We’re building this pathway because Service Leavers deserve a straightforward transition into roles where their experience is valued, and because our industry benefits directly from their professionalism, integrity and focus.
Our aim is simple: turn ambitious military capability into successful civilian careers, and strengthen the bidding profession in the process.
