BID MANAGEMENT | BID REVIEWS | TENDER WRITING SERVICES | BID RESEARCH | BID STRATEGY
When a procurement team is wading through a pile of tender responses, how does yours stand out?
You do what no one else is doing.
That means talking less about your company and more about the client's issues and needs. That takes discipline and a rigorous approach to understanding what those issues and needs are (you'll rarely find all of them in the RFP documents).
Second, you write in a way that's engaging and compelling. No one ever won a tender by boring the selection panel, though many have tried.
Unlike most bid writing teams, ours has not been selected for their industry experience. We choose for strategic ability, the courage to challenge assumptions, and writing skills. Then we train our people in the specifics of bid writing.
It's a winning formula. Literally.

The Shipley Partnership
Winning tenders begins long before an RFP is issued.
