Bid building blocks

Competitive tenders, proposals, capability statements, and other pitches for business are a commercial reality for most services businesses.

They are stressful, involve tight timeframes, and often result in much replicated effort.  Well-conceived strategies plus some effective preparations and a clear process can help your firm make the most of each bid and increase your win rate.

While each tender is unique, many common elements  –  bid building blocks  –  can be developed in advance to smooth the process.

Creating first-rate bid building blocks relevant to your services and the clients you seek to win will ensure you are thoroughly prepared for your next tender. It means that once a competition is in train, your team will have time to focus on demonstrating understanding and right fit for each client.
