The course was great and informative
The course was great and informative. I wish there was an opportunity to also hear about the other attendees' experience and tips we can learn from each other. The breakout into different rooms had so more of that would be great.
Tenders Direct - Recommendation
Our organisation has used Tenders Direct for many years. We have found this to be superlative in identifying opportunities relevant to our marketspace (IT in Healthcare).
The best feature is that Tenders Direct saves our organisation from having to monitor the myriad of different sources for new opportunities arising from the NHS.
Tenders Direct does this all for us and consequently we have never missed a relevant opportunity.
Good work Tenders Direct!

Excellent
This is my second course with Tenders Direct. I'd done the introdutory level a couple of months ago and now completed the "Writing Compelling Bids" one, both with Jamie Edwards.
Excellent course, highly recommended. The course brings real, attainable hard skills of how to prepare the content ahead of submitting the bid and how to interpret the questions as well as the format (which is often terribly intricate).
I'm in the midst of responding the most complex tender I've ever seen to date and without this course, I'd be lost. But instead, I feel like I've got a good handle on things.

Good service for keeping up to date for jobs, but has lots of gaps and many superfluous leads.
The leads do NOT include all schools, because academy chains are not picked up. Similarly not all work for all hospital trusts are notified via this service.
Furthermore, we are a county-wide contractor and get multiple leads everyday hoping to pick up leads from the area we serve; this restricted search criterion does not match the area-coverage offered and even though we have only limited our search criteria for the south/east we end up getting leads for Liverpool, Brimingham, Bolton, Portsmouth and even Scotland!

Excellent company with friendly, approachable, flexible, and knowledgeable staff.
We had never applied for NHS tenders until 2020 - but achieved all those we applied for with guidance from Tenders Direct.

Experienced Presenter. A couple of typical handouts might assist. On request these were provided immediately after the session.
Never Miss a Tender with Minimal Management Overhead.
Tenders Direct is the most robust and comprehensive vehicle we have found for ensuring we are always notified, and notified early, of relevant tenders.
Our Account Manager has proven tremendously helpful when required. However, once the tool is configured to 'listen' for tenders likely to be most applicable to you as a company, the ongoing management overhead is negligible.

Brindha was very helpful when setting up our account. Since subscribing we have been successful with one tender opportunity. Having reassurance no opportunities slip through the net is important moving forward .
