Bid Management
The process of our bid management begins before the release of a potential contract. Our bid managers will prepare supporting documents, model answers and case study content of previous contracts. These will
be reviewed, and quality checked to ensure we meet the requirements of our clients whilst guaranteeing the strongest possible bid.
Following the above once a PQQ or ITT is released the bid manager will assess the company for compliance and begin gathering all the required information to respond to all open points and concerns.
