We were fairly hesitant in spending a bit of budget on bid writing services, we researched lots of companies and Executive Compass always seemed to come out at the top of our searches. From our initial correspondence with the team our minds were put at ease and we knew straight away they were the company to use.
Sam was assigned to us as our writer and his knowledge of construction through previous clients is very high and his writing capabilities are second to none. It was easy to work with Sam and he always stuck to timescales which was very important to us as we had a tight deadline.
Not only will we be using Executive Compass again, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services to other companies looking to win more work
The team at Executive Compass came to our rescue when we were struggling with a lengthy and difficult PQQ and ITT. We contacted them at very short notice but nothing was too much trouble and they pulled all their resources together to ensure the deadline was met.
They provided us with a very professional service and the quality of work was excellent. Matthew and Charlotte really did make the process run very smoothly. Executive Compass come highly recommended.
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Tom and Executive Compass. Tom’s knowledge and expertise in bid writing is a huge advantage to our entire organisation. He has successfully supported us to win various NHS contracts and has delivered an amazing, cost-effective service.
Tom and the entire team go above and beyond to support us, and are continuously striving to ensure that we have the best opportunity to succeed. The bid writing team are one of the best I have come across and the proof is in the detail; in the past year Tom and the team have completed 3 tender submissions and won all 3 contracts. Along with his undeniable talent, Tom has always been an absolute joy to work with. He always manages to foster positive discussions and bring the best out of every meeting, ensuring as much detail as possible is included in every tender.
When we first contacted Executive Compass, we knew that we needed training but we did not know what we needed training on. From our initial discussions through to the in-house training, Matthew guided us each step of the way, using previous tender submissions to identify our weaknesses and worked through these in a easy to understand and jargon free way. Matthew explained the principles behind PQQ, Bid and Tender writing in such a way that all those attending the training, from the Director, the Department Managers through to our Administration Officers all came away from the training with not only a greater understanding of how to prepare a successful tender but also more importantly a desire to be involved in preparing successful tenders.
We had decided that our bid writing required more finesse, so after some research we found Executive Compass. From their initial consultation they provided us with confidence via the professionalism, attention to detail and level of communication and commitment. We engaged their services for a Fusion 21 framework contract which has proved to have a successful outcome and have since engaged their services for other future contracts.
Resource have worked alongside the team at Executive Compass for two years refining and improving our PQQ & ITT submissions and more importantly gaining an insight into our business model, both sides have invested time to build the relationship and a substantial bid library has been developed. This approach has enabled EC to fully understand our business model and ensure added value propositions and supporting business metrics are incorporated into our bid submissions, as such EC are now an integral and key trusted partner on all our tender submissions.
Executive Compass® come highly recommended. We requested their services at very short notice and the team helped us with their expertise in the bid writing process for our new crime duty provider contract. Without the team we could not have achieved a successful tender. They worked tirelessly to meet our tight deadline and had staff available over the bank holiday weekend to ensure the work was done and that our submission stood out from the remainder of the bidding firms. A great service provided and a job very well done!
I want to say a big thank you for delivering the PQQ, Bid and Tender Writing Training course held this week. The first contact with the team via the internet was really good, Amy was extremely helpful and really responsive via email answering my many (many) queries which gave a great first impression of Executive Compass.
Although some of our team had been involved in tenders before, we did not have the full knowledge needed to put a bid together that we were 100% confident would win. After Neil’s presentation, as it was aimed at the right level for the audience and with his presentation style keeping us all really interested with a personable and realistic delivery, staff left feeling more confident which will make such a difference to our business going forward with future tenders. Again I want to say thank you for all your help and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this service to others – we are already looking in to holding more training next year!
We have been working with Executive Compass for the past three years and, thanks to their guidance and support, we have won every single tender that we have applied for, even on occasion achieving 100% quality scores. As well as helping us retain our key contracts, they have helped us expand into more London boroughs and pick up new contracts providing care and support to adults and children.
All the work has been of an exceptional quality, but what has impressed us the most is how Charlotte and the rest of the team are happy to go the extra mile and help resolve anything that crops up during the tender process. I cannot thank Executive Compass enough, and would not hesitate to recommend them.
