Why Choose this course
Unsolicited proposals present a unique dilemma for the public sector. On one hand, they offer unique, innovative solutions to service delivery challenges that the institution may not have even identified. On the other, they carry significant risk and are often viewed with skepticism due to strict transparency regulations.
Our Unsolicited Proposals course provides the clarity needed to manage these bids effectively. We guide you through the National Treasury Practice Notes, helping you understand when an unsolicited bid is a genuine opportunity for economic growth and when it poses a governance risk.
