Winning In Tendering

ns. The project will develop:

An On-Line Diagnostic 'health-check' Educational Tool to allow SISs self-evaluate their tender readiness

A Supplier Review Programme(adapting methodology from Wales)enabling Irish SISs to learn why they failed to win past tenders, thus improving skills & encouraging SISs to re-enter the tendering game with renewed optimism. Any new knowledge will be fed back to Wales

Legal Educational Guidance & Case Studies in Plain English on the revolutionary 2009 EU Remedies Directive, drawing on BU's unrivalled expertise

A SIS-Friendly Procurement Competency Framework, whereby procurers actively consider SIS vulnerabilities in designing tenders

Case Studies & Educational guidance to help procurers overcome negative impacts of below EU threshold advertising, thus improving SIS access to opportunities

Common training programmes for SIS benefit which feature as integral parts of 1-5 above. WIT is perfectly aligned with Lisbon & Europe 2020 and National Strategies & will create more and better jobs & help integrate disadvantaged groups into work. WIT outputs will be mainstreamed by a highly developed Exit Strategy & there would be significant potential to transfer outputs to other EU countries. Project Partners
