What You'll Learn
How institutional buyers actually decide
Procurement rules, evaluation grids and scoring — what the committee is really filling in while reading your bid.
Where the opportunities are published
UN portals, government platforms, NGO procurement pages, and how to build a pipeline instead of reacting to what lands in your inbox.
Registration and vendor onboarding
Getting through supplier registration, compliance documents and due diligence without stalling for months.
Reading an RFP properly
Finding the disqualifiers, the weighting and the unwritten requirement before you spend a week writing.
The technical proposal
Structure, methodology, quality assurance and staffing sections that score rather than describe.
Pricing an institutional bid
Rate cards, frameworks, ceilings, and how to be competitive without winning yourself into a loss.
Compliance, ethics and safeguarding
Codes of conduct, data protection, confidentiality and the policies you will be asked to attach.
Competing against incumbents
What a small provider can offer that a large one structurally cannot — and how to make the committee see it.
Delivering the first contract
Reporting, invoicing, timesheets and audit trails. The first delivery decides whether there is a second.
Turning one contract into a framework
Moving from single assignments to multi-year agreements and long-term institutional revenue.
