Welfare to work bid writing master class

If questions like this are causing you a headache, this one – one master class will help. It will provide essential bid writing skills specifically tailored for welfare to work providers, to help table winning proposals to DWP, the LSC and other employment and skills funders. It will address themes such as: effective opportunity spotting, developing winning delivery models, effectively answering tender questions, and devising effective pricing models. The master class will combine the theory of winning bids with a series of practical exercises to help apply practical skills. There will also be a particular focus on the current contracting agenda of DWP, including fND Phase 2, IDEAS, ESF, AME / DEL Pilots, ESF and Progress to Work / Link Up.

The master class will be lead by Jim Carley, previously Head of Business Development for both A4e Ltd and the Carter & Carter Group plc, with 11 years experience of managing and writing welfare-to-work tenders.
