Helping companies to understand what good looks like

Fit to Bid is a diagnostic assessment tool to evaluate the effectiveness and maturity of your bidding processes against best practice. The tool:

  • takes the form of a structured questionnaire and facilitated discussion
  • assesses your ‘end-to-end’ bidding process
  • explores existing approaches, methods and use of resources
  • identifies current strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement
  • results in a tailored summary report and actionable recommendations.

Fit to Bid is designed to

  • Engage a small cross-section of people – gathering their input for transparent, collaborative discussion
  • Be easy to follow – intuitive and structured format for reviewing your bid processes
  • Generate valuable discussion – prompts honest insight and shared understanding
  • Identify actionable recommendations based on strengths and weaknesses – helps to prioritise improvements and support change
  • Improve bid process consistency, performance and win rates – prevents a scatter gun approach to bidding for contracts
  • Support readiness for future procurement opportunities – enables bid teams to better prepare for contracts within the public and private sectors.

The structured questionnaire and discussion enable a true assessment of your end-to-end approach to bidding
