We have used the services of Executive Compass twice now, once for our tender bid in 2016 and again this year in 2018. We have been highly successful on both occasions. We have found working with the team to be excellent, they are always professional and helpful. I would highly recommend working with Executive Compass.
Though we don’t tender a lot we wanted to improve the quality of our bids, so brought in Matthew from Executive Compass to take us through his one-day workshop. He really knows his stuff. From deconstructing questions to getting into the head of the buyer, Matthew’s knowledge and experience shone through. We ended the day with clarity about how we can improve our tender writing as well as some light-bulb moments about how to make the tenders stand out. Highly recommend.
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!
