Third sector organisations are increasingly seeking to diversify their income sources by incorporating strategies and techniques to achieve a sustainable funding base.  At a time when there is a strong drive towards increased public service delivery by the third sector in Wales, tendering is beginning to replace the traditional route of grant funding.
It is vital that the sector responds quickly and innovatively to these changes by understanding the opportunities available and how to take advantage of
them. This course will benefit those new to the world of tendering as well as those wishing to gain further insight into the processes involved.

It will:
• explain the role procurement and tendering plays in today’s funding climate, and enable you to assess your potential for tendering;
• take you step by step through the tendering process, whether for European or other public sector contracts;
• give your tenders a winning chance by explaining what purchasers are looking for and providing an opportunity for you to practice your bid writing skills.

The course is intended for third sector staff and/or trustees with a responsibility for strategic direction and financial management.  It is suitable for those new to tendering, or for those wishing to gain a further insight and skill into preparing winning tenders.

3-SET training courses are free to attend for staff and volunteers of third sector organisations that can demonstrate they are involved in the development and / or delivery of European funded projects in Wales.  This course is delivered jointly by Sustainable Funding Cymru (Big Lottery) and the third sector European team project (3-SET), funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the European Regional Development
Fund (ERDF) of the Convergence and Regional Competitiveness and Employment Structural Funds programmes 2007-2013
