Love Your Tender - Webinar Series
Back by popular demand!!
Get ready for a new year of writing successful tenders by signing up for this four session webinar series.
The webinars will teach you how to recognise and respond clearly to the tender requirements, demonstrate and communicate to the funder how you will deliver value and benefit, and how to make relevant and strong claims that are supported by evidence.
The program is designed for people with limited grant/tender writing experience however it can also benefit those with experience who want to reflect on and further strengthen their organisation’s grant and tender responses.

Past participants have said:
“I now feel confident in knowing what is expected by the funder and submit your tender accordingly.”
“It broadened out my knowledge, expanding it into outcomes focussed and letting me know there are others out there who struggle with the same things.”
“Most useful were the structures and tools provided to address key areas of success for tender writing. eg demonstrating value for money, highlighting features + benefits, understanding + responding to tender requirements.”
The State Councils of Social Service (COSS) are partnering to once again deliver a webinar series to uncover what every not-for-profit organisation needs to know about effectively responding to government procurement processes delivered through four one hour webinar sessions:
- Getting “tender ready” in the contemporary NGO funding environment – understanding the landscape and what organisations need to do differently.
- Developing and communicating a proposal that benefits your clients, your organisation and the funder.
- Addressing the selection criteria: comprehensively, convincingly and concisely while staying on point and complying with word limits.
- Establishing value and differentiating your organisation.
The interactive webinars will include practical examples, highlight common mistakes to avoid, and offer tips for reducing the time and effort required for submission writing.
This training is based on the NCOSS 2015 workshop Writing Winning Funding Proposals and is a repeat of the highly popular webinar series of the same name held in 2016.
Webinar participants will also receive:
- A copy of all slides and an activity workbook
- 'Top tips' for tender preparation
- A tender response development checklist.
