APMP Course

4th November 2019 By Bid Services

Do you work in bids and proposals? The Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) offers the world’s first, best and only industry-recognised certification program for professionals working in a bid and proposal environment. APMP certification is the global standard for developing and demonstrating proposal management competency. Achieving APMP certification:
• Demonstrates a personal commitment to a career and profession.
• Improves business development capabilities.
• Creates a focus on best team practices.
• Gains the respect and credibility of peers, clients and organisational leaders and, in some cases, additional compensation.
• Reinforces bid/proposal management as an important role within an organisation and not as an ad hoc function that anyone can perform.
In simpler terms, it provides validation for those employees delivering tenders on behalf of their organisations without formal training or qualification. Bid Services are the only approved and accredited APMP training organisation in Ireland, and we are offering a one-day course in December 2019. This course will deliver training in best practice and approach, and will equip you to pass the Foundation-Level exam (a one hour, open book, multiple choice), held at the end of the day.
There are pre-requisite modules to study, and candidates are required to have at least 12 months’ experience in a Proposal role.
For further information and cost information; please email sorcha@bidservices.ie

The EPA is developing new guidance for the mandatory use of green pubic procurement (GPP) in Ireland. Embedding GPP in tenders is to be welcomed; it is long overdue. However, the draft guidance document raises a number of important questions as follows.

24th November 2020

The systematic introduction of GPP selection and award criteria into Irish public tenders (over the EU threshold values) will potentially have a higher impact on reducing national GHG emissions and energy consumption than many other actions identified in the National Energy and Climate Action Plan. The draft guidance is described as a ‘Starter Kit’. Would […] >
