At Bids and Tenders Consultancy, we have developed a systematic process that reviews, analyses and questions all your existing processes and guides the development and formation of bid strategies and bid governance.
The process includes:
- Bid tracking
- Bid library review
- Bid/no-bid process
- Stakeholder engagement
- Bid management process
- Review process
- Tender library review
- Pre-submission checking/proofing
Consultancy services increase win rates by standardising processes. Each service is also modular, so specific elements of your existing processes can be analysed.
Our consultancy services
Not sure how to approach a specific tender? Considering outsourcing your tenders as opposed to employing a full-time bid writer? We’ve got a range of ad hoc and retained services that can be delivered by telephone, email and onsite and are customised to suit your needs, including:
Making the Right Bid/No Bid Decision
Some tenders are not going to be right for your business. Send us your tender documents, and we’ll review them and provide you with independent advice and guidance to help you make the right bid/no-bid decision.
Tender Development
It’s just not practical to write every tender completely from scratch. Hence, a solid library of up-to-date information, company policies, standard responses, case studies and facts/figures about your business is pivotal to writing winning bids in a sensible timescale.
Pre-Submission Checking & Proofreading
Our review and critique service use the “comments” and “track changes” functions to help you refine your answers and maximise your scores. This service includes elements such as:
- Removing ambiguity and replacing vague, “woolly” answers or overly complex submissions with concise, factual and relevant responses to meet and exceed the specification.
- Proofreading draft documents to identify and remove spelling and grammatical errors.
- Providing constructive criticism to help improve the quality of your document.
- Cross-checking your responses with the tender documents to ensure the submission is complete and compliant.
Do you need to improve your win rate? When was the last time your bids were objectively analysed and reviewed? Have they ever been reviewed?
From experience, we know that the review process is crucial and should start as soon as the decision to bid is made. Time spent reviewing and analysing is money well spent. Bid reviews are fundamental to increasing win rates and developing an understanding of processes that need adjusting or new ones implementing.
