Over the past 14 years, our bidding specialists have provided bid support through bid management and review, writing, coordination, document design, production and training. Supporting your bids with excellence, quality and a personalised service, we help businesses to streamline their bid function by increasing your inhouse expertise.
Organisations can sometimes need resource for short-term demands due to high levels of overall bidding. Or, they may have large, specialists bid requiring high levels of expertise. To meet these needs, we provide essential expert resource as and when you need it!

Training
Training is an imperative part of a bid team’s development, but it can be costly. Understanding that every bid team is different, we ensure that our client’s investment is worthwhile.
Our training programme incorporates the experience of our team and is designed to be tailored to our client’s individual needs. To maximise the time we have with participants, our bespoke packages are engaging, interactive and clearly explain how to undertake each activity and apply it during a live bid scenario.
Whether attending our two-day bid bootcamp, or one of our focussed tasks orientated programmes, your team will have the opportunity to enhance their skillset and understanding of current trends and best practice. No matter the topic, our focus is always to help your organisation develop the highest quality responses and win more business.
Our team will work with you to understand your process, tools and internal capabilities. They then review your previous submissions to gauge what could have been done better. Using the outputs of this benchmarking, we then tailor our training modules to the needs of YOUR team and organisation.
Bid training programmes include:
- Writing: Compelling and clear writing can make the difference between a loss and a win. Our bid writing courses will enable your team to articulate your messaging in a consistent and engaging way
- CVs: Whilst every bid asks for CVs, they are often an afterthought. Our team will guide you through when to use boilerplate, how to craft compelling content, and how to interview people to get the answers you need
- Bid management: A solid bid plan provides a roadmap for effective management and risk mitigation during live bids. During this training, we run through all aspects of bid management, preparing your team to create the best possible response, even when timescales are tight. Importantly, we also discuss the critical success factors needed for effective bid management
- Presentations: When you are down-selected for interview, the evaluation then focuses on your people and how they articulate your messaging. Our experienced trainers will provide your team with effective ways to prepare for interviews, enabling them to articulate your solution/product in a compelling and persuasive way
- Reviewing: Reviews help to challenge thinking and elevate responses, but they are often not given the time or focus required. Our Effective Reviewing module will help your team understand how to evaluate responses and support writers in answering the question.
