Problems Faced By The Client – Why Did They Need Our Help?
This client had several obstacles that they needed to overcome in order to win more bids. First and foremost, they are excellent electricians with a strong ethical and professional code of conduct – but they are not expert writers. As such, they required coaching and support to be able to formulate effective and engaging tender submissions.
Secondly, they required support with – and explanation of – the necessary details in order to answer questions fully. This would allow them to score higher marks on their tender submissions, making it more likely that they will win contracts.
They also required help to understand social value, and how offering greater social value would boost their chances of winning bids. This would not only improve their commercial opportunities, but raise their standing as a well-respected and ethical company within their industry.
In addition, the company needed support to deal with portal inquiries, and we were able to assist by providing our expertise to help them submit tenders via bid portals.
