Campus+ is dedicated to helping universities achieve more for less. Keeping with this ethos, the company can now assist institutions win work through the tender process. Tenders can be a fantastic source of revenue, in 2018-19, the Commonwealth Government awarded more than 78,000 contracts with a total value of $64.5 billion. Whilst institutions typically have the expertise to deliver value-for-money contracts, they often lack the capacity to respond at short notice to tenders with compressed application windows.

The Tenders+ team of experts ensures an institution’s tender application is in the best possible shape by: understanding and addressing the needs of the customer; aligning an approach to market with government or industry objectives; preparing the bid in a tight time frame; engaging with stakeholders; ensuring the requirements and criteria for submission are met; collating and referencing all supporting material required; meeting the deadline requirements for submissions; ensuring the tender is concise, on topic and meets the criteria sought; demonstrating value for money, not under or overpriced, and providing the relevant justifications; providing innovative solutions sought by government or industry; promoting an institution’s expertise, capabilities, uniqueness, and skills; and working with the institution team, including internal or third-party legal, risk, accounting and financial advisors.
