Bid strategy

Bid strategy

We provide constructive challenge during bid strategy development, working closely to brainstorm and refine win themes to be embedded into the tender submission. Our extensive toolkit includes a win strategy on a page referral document, which members of the bid team use to understand the bid strategy and solution for the commissioning client.

Tailored strategies

Bid writing

Bid writing

Our bid writers combine their technical sector experience with expert copywriting skills at all stages of the bid life cycle to craft compelling responses. We encourage the involvement of our bid writers during solution development, ensuring they have an in-depth understanding of the bid solution to write a narrative that conveys win themes and bid strategy. Our editing process is woven into all aspects of bid production, including a formal final review and page turn before submitting the bid.

Crafting compelling responses

Bid management

Bid management

Our highly experienced bid managers create a bid programme with a flexible approach to get the best out of the bid team while building and implementing an integrated one-team approach. We coordinate the deliverables and work with multiple stakeholders to ensure the programme remains on track and escalate risks that pose a challenge to the programme to facilitate appropriate mitigation measures.

Flexible bid programme

Bid review and challenge

We use a stage gate review process to examine the submission across its development. We can facilitate the review process and provide reviewers to check and challenge your solution, offering constructive challenge to ensure the response is truly answering the question asked by the commissioning client.

Challenging the structure of the response, the content captured during initial answer planning sessions, the relevance of evidence and the value of proposed case studies.

Checking compliance of the response in line with question requirements.

Challenging the win themes and alignment with client drivers, as well as alignment with the operational and commercial solutions.

Ensuring a compelling narrative, with consistency in language, style and grammar in all responses.

Commercial submission

Our bid support extends to bringing the commercial and quality workstreams together, ensuring alignment across the quality submission to show that the proposed solutions are realistic, costed and deliverable in the commercial envelope.

Learning and legacy

Following submission, we facilitate a ‘lessons learned’ session to provide succinct and tangible learning that can be carried into future bids for continual improvement. We will also provide any materials used and any work produced using our EiB Toolkit.
