Bid Management

Our consultants can undertake a full bid process review and provide advice on what is good and what needs improvement. They know what works from many years’ experience of high value bidding across many sectors. Bid management activities are defined in our two guides “How to qualify a bid” and “How to initiate a bid“.

There are many individuals that need to make a positive contribution to a winning bid. Our guidance on running the bid will ensure that you have either a bid manager that can assist your own internal team or one that will manage the entirety of the bid. We will maintain momentum and abide by all proposal protocols.

Reviews are an integral part of any successful bid process. An effective bid document is constantly evolving, and ensuring that you have the correct reviews at the correct stages allows the document to be edited accordingly, before it is too late. Our bid managers provide an objective reality check, a fresh unbiased review of the writing. The response can then be scored with deficiencies highlighted and instructions on how to correct them.

Bid Submission

Bids need to be produced in different media and delivered through various mechanisms. Our bid coordination team can manage the bid production of electronic or print material as well as the submission. They are familiar with all portal systems and can submit bids that are fully compliant and on time.

Manage Resources

Having an external support team will increase the resources available to your bid team and ease the pressures during peak times. The whole approach is to provide a flexible resource of experts that can be utilised for specific activities, for whom the bid manager will be responsible.

Sign Off

The bid manager will understand and manage all necessary sign-offs and approvals, such as commercial, contractual and technical activities. The bid manager will shoulder the responsibility of ensuring that all aspects of the bid are accurate and fully compliant.

Q&A

Queries will arise during the bid process. It is essential that these are managed quickly and efficiently rather than making assumptions. The bid manager is responsible for updating and maintaining any required clarification logs, and submitting answers to, and analysing questions from, the purchasing organisation.
