As our statistics have shown, this time of year is generally the busiest for bid writers. With a lot of contracts being released in the preceding months, there are many tight deadlines to be met before Christmas.
Executive Compass® director, Neil Capstick, is set to return from his charitable adventures in the Himalayas, where he has just completed a 100 mile stage race. November sees an almost fully booked month of PQQ and tender training workshops along with a number of deadlines on large on-going contracts.
The large quantity of active contracts at this time of year sees many companies’ resources becoming stretched. We have received many enquiries for bid team support recently and have just finished work on a very large contract exceeding £5 billion pounds in value.
When busy we have noticed that some companies draft in support from other departments, such as sales, in order to ease the bid team’s workload. However, this can create a negative effect as the staff drafted in are not bid writers. Not only that, when writing tenders they are not completing their usual duties so in turn the business suffers. Executive Compass® offer professional PQQ and tender writing services and can support your team to the highest standard, allowing you to continue running your business.
All our writers are trained internally in line with our ISO 9001:2008 quality management system, and have gained experience completing hundreds of PQQs and tenders as well as working on site as part of other bid teams. Working across all industries and receiving feedback on all submissions, whether successful or not, means that we can add an extra dimension to your bid team and ensure the highest quality submission.
Using Executive Compass® to support your bid team not only gives you a strong submission, but alleviates the stress of completing a large bid with limited resources. You can be sure of the quality of your submission and comfortably bid for contracts.
Following a recent bid support placement we also conducted a follow up advanced tender training course, in which we provided the team with our expert advice on successful tendering. As with all our bid writing courses, this was tailored to suit the company’s needs and gave them the tools to stay ahead of the competition and continue to submit winning bids.
