A 2-Day Hands-On TMS Experience

Delivered in Live or Live Virtual Classrooms!

This two-day workshop for government acquisition personnel is designed to give a thorough insight into how a contractor prepares a proposal, and how they analyze your requirements document to find the high-cost, high-risk areas. (This is the
most surprising and popular part of this workshop.) You will also learn not only how to avoid the common mistakes that lead to higher costs, but you will also learn how to anticipate how the contractor, especially technically oriented contractors,
will read your requirements document and how he will prepare his quote. This knowledge will give you immense leverage in keeping the costs down.
