Bid & Tender Management for Professional Services Firms

As client organisations are becoming more sophisticated in their procurement strategies, professional service firms are having to invest a significant proportion of their time, turnover and resources to win work through competitive bids and tenders.

In uncertain times, clients value clarity from their advisers. The tendering process puts the power in the hands of the client as they determine the rules, the criteria and the success factors. To succeed, firms need to be clear, bold and confident in their responses as to their capability, expertise and reputation.

Driving growth through bids and tenders requires maximum advantage to be created at every stage of the tendering process, from understanding the precise nature of the client’s stated need, to articulating and evidencing the firm’s proposition and capability to meet the need.

More than just advancements in process, success with tenders is also determined by critical insight into the client procurement mindset and decision-making drivers.

Together, the imperative is to facilitate a shift away from siloed, uncoordinated efforts when building a response, towards a well-sequenced, operational transformation that delivers enhanced process efficiencies and a shared and sharpened focus of message and solution.
