Problems Faced by Client – Why did they need our help?

As a small organisation made up of all operational staff the task of bid writing was left to the Managing Director.   Faced with insufficient time and large tender documents with around 30 quality questions the client contacted us for our help and experience.

Services Provided – Meeting their needs

We spent time with the client getting to know them, touring and familiarising ourselves with their facility, the company culture, approach, team and USP’s.  After this we were able to produce a comprehensive response document that the client could use in future bids, which would save him time and money whilst ensuring the highest quality submission.

We have continued to support the client in now reviewing the documents and suggesting amends for each further bid submission.

Outcome of our Work – Improved Win Rate, Gained Accreditation etc

Over the last 18 months this Client has secured new contracts enabling the business to grow and expand, requiring a move to larger premises.
