Competitive Bid Management and Appraisal
Winning business in a competitive environment requires particular skills and experience not always readily available to organisations under pressure, and not always needed on a permanent basis. This is why many potential suppliers are becoming more used to hiring in expert bid management staff as and when they are needed.
Naturally, this form of consultancy work requires very high quality people with high motivation, total confidentiality and appropriate domain knowledge.
CSL is skilled and practised at providing this service and has provided bid teams of up to 15 consultants for major UK companies. We can offer a range of relevant services, including:
- SMART MARKER™ software tool to manage competitive tenders
- Advice on the organisation, formation and management of bid teams
- Experienced Bid Managers in various subject domains
- Bid Writers with relevant experience of particular technical fields
- Organisation and management of Pink and Red Team Reviews
- Identification and provision of Subject Matter Experts
- Provision of bid team members on a short, medium or longer term basis
On the client side, we can offer similarly experienced consultants to carry out tender preparation, to prepare structured marking schemes and to organise and conduct tender assessments.
