Our team are all highly trained professionals with years of experience in the field, meaning we have some of the most qualified bid consultants in the UK and beyond.
This sounds like a bold claim, but we believe our track record backs it up.
Over the past 10 years, we’ve helped our clients to secure over £1billion of new business, and our bid win rate stands in excess of 85%.
We’ve helped companies of all sizes to win more work by methodically analysing their existing bid creation process, identifying its strengths and weaknesses, and carrying out thorough optimisations, until the processes stand head and shoulders above the competition.
And in the cases where our client doesn’t have an existing bid creation process, we can make an industry-leading one for them from scratch.
Sometimes, we have clients who want us to produce the bid documents for them from start to finish – this isn’t a problem, as our skills also extend to top-quality bid writing.
In all cases, the work we do for our clients will put them ahead of their competitors when the bids are assessed. It is this dedication to delivering excellence which has produced such a high bid win rate for us over the years, and which has secured so much additional business for our clients.
Another key to our success, is the fact that our approach treats each company we work with as a unique entity.
Because we see every business as an individual being which differs from its competitors in some way, we tailor our methods to best suit each specific client, delivering customised results which sum up the strengths and assets of their business in a way that a cookie-cutter, ‘one size fits all’ approach could never do.
Over the years, we’ve built up a large portfolio of current and former clients.
We have provided our bid consultancy services to many of these clients, with a lot of success. Below, we will outline the details of the work we carried out for just a few of these clients.
Firstly, we worked with a UK-based vehicle body reconditioning company, to help them win a vehicle reconditioning contract with a large car dealership.
Our client was well placed to win the contract, but they lacked the understanding of how to complete a tender, as they had not submitted one before.
The client already had the knowledge and experience necessary to fulfil the requirements of the contract; our job was to communicate this on paper in a professional and cohesive way.
We collected all the key information from the client, such as their accounts, organisational structure and company policies, upon which we noticed that they were missing several policy documents, so we created these for the client as well.
Our finished tender document included all the information required by the tender, as well as the missing policies and an organisational chart.
As a result of our work, the client was successful in winning the tender, thereby securing themselves a lucrative new contract.
Also, they now have the tools and documents to use in any further bids, including a tender document to use as a template going forward.
Our next case study involves a registered charity who transform the lives of people with physical disabilities, by providing them with assistance dogs.
The charity approached us when they were looking to put forward a proposal to become the nominated ‘Charity of the Year’ for a large organisation. The charity was seeking to win this title in order to benefit from the company’s charity fundraising efforts for the year, which were worth over £300k.
Having never submitted anything like this before, the charity needed guidance on how to best sell themselves and meet the criteria. They completed the first draft of their proposal, and then handed it over to us, so we could review the documents and offer advice on which areas they could improve.
As a result of our work, the charity was successful in winning the nomination for Charity of the Year, and secured much needed funds as a result of the corporation’s fundraising endeavours.
Another case study features a construction company based in Milton Keynes.
The company were submitting tenders on a regular basis to one main buyer and always seemed to miss out by only 1 or 2 marks on the quality responses, even though the buyer liked them.
Keen to get over this hurdle, they decided they needed some external support.
During our initial meetings with the client, we reviewed previous bids to see where the points had been lost and put a plan together to overcome this and score full marks instead.
This involved us reviewing the tender documents and quality questions with the client, before identifying missing bits of information and other factors which caused them to lose the final few quality marks.
We then reviewed all their tender documents before submission, which added significant value to the submitted bid.
Our assistance and support raised the quality marks the client was receiving from 3/5 and 4/5 to 5/5. This helped them to secure several lucrative, high profile opportunities within their local area.
