Fantastic trainer
Jamie did my 2 day training course 'Introduction to Public Procurement and Bid Writing' and I can't fault him. He explained everything in great detail and no question was ever too much to ask. He kept the training fun and interactive, would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs an introduction into the procurement world!

Social Value in bidding training
I found the training on Social Value in Bidding extremely informative and a complete eye opener. Lots of opportunities to ask questions, group interaction and get involved, all over Zoom which was great.
Course was delivered in a very clear way with no jargon and straight to the point with examples from other attendees. All in all , a very positive experience of my first training session through Tenders Direct, will certainly look to do more and encourage others to aswell.

Tender Success every time!
I am the Tender Manager for a global corporation and we have been using Tenders Direct for the last few years. I am regularly approached to buy into other softwares, but when I examine them, they do not offer anything more and usually for a greater price tag!
Very happy with all the service, tenders and other opportunities which Tenders Direct offers us.
My Account Manager - Leanne Geddes is always extremely helpful so deserves a special recommendation.
