All shareholders of Dikana Consulting are also directors, implying that our focus is on our clients. The workshops emphasis is on how tenders are issued by government departments, how best suppliers and service providers should compile and submit their bids. It also shares with delegates on how tenders are evaluated and awarded to the successful bidder's.
