ABOUT

Course Outline: Key Principles of Tendering: (Submitting Compliant Bids.)



Background: Designed for both SMME’s and Large Enterprises: The workshop focuses on how tenders are issued by government departments, how suppliers should compile and submit their bids. It also shares with delegates on how tenders are evaluated and awarded to the successful bidder.

 

Facilitator: Gerrit Davids

Delegates to the workshop will learn how to effectively complete “Responsive and Acceptable Bid-Documents”. 


Classroom exercises will show delegates how tenders are scored, giving them an insight on what takes place during the evaluation and adjudication stages of the tendering process.


Suppliers are also advised on how to claim incentive points under the Preferential Point Systems applicable to all tenders.


The SA tendering rules will soon change and contracts will be awarded based on the BBBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) Status and the workshop will show suppliers how to effectively plan for these changes and not to lose out on available points during the scoring process of tenders.
