Public procurement law for bidders

Successfully designing tenders in public procurement procedures

This training is held in German.
Success in the competition for public contracts depends on "correctly reading" the tender documents, knowing the general legal framework and submitting a bid that is optimally tailored to the needs of the client. Discussions and presentations must be prepared accurately and implemented unerringly. You will receive an overview of the current legal situation and learn how to prepare successful and legally compliant tenders using practical examples.
