Bid management, strategy & support

Reader, writer, psychologist, strategist, presenter are all words that can be used to describe what is expected from a Bid Manager at times.

We can lead and manage the bid process (ranging from pre-qualification to final submission) and maximise the chances of winning the work by producing a persuasive and appealing offer. We can also engage a design team for the bid.

VOLOCO can support you bid process with any/all of the following

• Read and digest the bid documents
• Being part of the decision on whether to bid or not
• Clearly setting out the bid deliverables identifying what and agreeing with the bid team who will action each item and who will support/contribute to it
• Bid Programme
• Support with bid writing and/or proof reading and editing
• Running regular bid team meetings to review and manage progress, identify concerns and hit the bid deadlines with the best possible proposition aligned to your business targets
• Identifying relationships with client team
• Win strategy / USP
• Identifying decision makers and influencers to structure your submission to meet their requirements and focus

The success of a bid will depend equally on the quality of the bid team and the leadership of the Bid Manager (as well as prevailing market conditions and the appetite of your competitor).
