SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS
How to Bid on Tenders and RFPs
with Robert C. Worthington, LLB

A One-Day Legal Education Course For Contractors and Suppliers
Presented by: Robert C. Worthington, LLB


Course Outline

For those who bid on Invitations to Tender and Requests for Proposals, Competitive Bidding in Canada has increasingly become a legal minefield. Ever since the Supreme Court of Canada made the entire competitive bid process legally binding, it has been difficult for Owners and Bidders to figure out what their legal rights and obligations actually are. This area of the law is always expanding. It's tough to keep up with the changes and ensure that you are managing your legal risks appropriately. Owners and Buyers have law courses which inform them of their rights in Competitive Bidding, but Bidders, Contractors and Suppliers have been left to try to fathom what their rights are on their own…until now.

How to Bid on Tenders and RFPs is specifically designed for Bidders, Contractors and Suppliers - those organizations who submit bids and proposals to Owner organizations. We will tell you what the laws are, what you must do if you want to remain in the competition, how to read between the lines of competitive bid documents to discover what is really going on, what your legal rights really are and how to insist upon them, and, finally, what to do if you weren't treated properly in a competitive bid process. It's all here in this full day of legal training - at last - Bidders and Contractors have an opportunity to learn how to take full advantage of the competitive bid process.

In this seminar, you will learn your legal rights and responsibilities in competitive bidding of any kind. As importantly, you will learn what the Owner's and Consultants' legal responsibilities and rights are in Canadian competitive bidding - and how to make your bid complement the needs of the Owner. Whether you are supplying a quote on an RFQ, submitting a full Tender Bid, or pitching a proposal on an RFP, this course will supply you with knowledge that is critical to staying in the competition and increasing your chances of winning!

We keep our class sizes small, so we have an opportunity to address all participant's questions and concerns. Participants will receive also a set of Course Materials detailing all areas covered in the seminar as a handy desk-top reference guide.
