Bid management
Leading the way – bid management to reduce the administrative burden and secure success
Our bid managers set the tone for the bid programme, with a calm, clear lead bringing out the best in people. They manage the development of the technical/quality submission, coordinating all deliverables to ensure the bid timescales are met. Working with you, they provide hands-on support to ensure everything runs smoothly. This includes working collaboratively with the bid team to facilitate synergy throughout the process.
The review process
The review process is a key part of ensuring responses meet the commissioning client’s requirements and our writers receive the right information to strengthen the responses. Led by our bid managers, with direct input from an appointed review team, we facilitate a stage gate review process that iteratively examines the submission across its development.
- Answer plan review (pink) – assesses the information captured in storyboard sessions and ensures the response structure aligns to the question requirements.
- Content and compliance review (amber) – challenges the technical compliance of the first draft after comments from the answer plan review have been incorporated, focusing on identifying content gaps.
- Strategy and content review (red) – responses are 80% ready for submission at this review stage and should demonstrate differentiators, win themes and added value.
- Final review / page turn and sign-off (gold) – final review of the responses once comments have been incorporated from the previous review, followed by a ‘page turn’ to check consistency in style, wording, format and ‘voice’.
