The benefits of using Bid Consultants

There are many advantages to outsourcing your bid to Bid Consultants. Below are just some of the benefits they can bring to your business…

Excellent communicators

Bid Consultants are excellent communicators. There’s no denying that due to their job, they need to communicate their client’s business to a buyer. We don’t mean simply communicating what they do to the buyer. They need to communicate and tailor how their business is best suited to deliver the contract.

They also need to be not just excellent written communicators but spoken, too. They have to deal with a large variety of clients. Being able to get the information they need out of them is essential. They need to be able to take what they are told and tailor it to the bid at hand. They can communicate with both buyers and the clients themselves.

Wide variety of industry knowledge

As mentioned above, Bid Consultants work with a wide variety of clients. They can be working on a technology bid in the morning and a healthcare RFP in the afternoon. Due to this, they learn a vast array of knowledge on multiple industries. This means no two days are the same for Bid Consultants. 

Write winning bids

The main reason you will be looking into Bid Consultants is likely because you need help writing a response. Bid Consultants are experts in bid writing, and they know how to write winning bids.

Outsourcing your bid response to Bid Consultants can help increase your chances of success. This is because they do this for a living. They wouldn’t be able to do it for a living if they were bad at their job. Most Bid Consultants will have a success rate. Here at Hudson Bid Writers, ours is 87%. This means that our Bid Consultants win 87% of the bids they write for our clients.

Build your business development objectives

Securing a contract for your business can be greatly beneficial. Bid Consultants can help expand your business, winning you a pipeline of work. The more contracts you win, the more contract examples you’ll have. The more experience you have, the bigger contracts you can go for. The bigger contracts you go for, the bigger your business can grow.

Going for public sector solicitations can be a great way to grow your business. They can help you see consistent growth.

Choosing the right bid for your business can help increase your chances of success. You should always analyze an opportunity before you go for it. You should assess the:

• Proposals you have to prepare
• Value of your bidding contracts
• Win rate.

Doing this will enable you to identify the level of effort you need to be successful. You can then see the number of hours and skills it will take. If it’s more than you can afford to give, outsourcing to Bid Consultants will help you handle the workload.

The crucial skills of Bid Consultants

Bid Consultants have many skills that help them see success when writing winning bids. Below are just some needed to be successful:

• Research

No matter the industry you’re in, Bid Consultants will have first-rate research skills. They are able to research your business, industry, and buyers. This can help them optimize their response ensuring that they sound like industry experts on your behalf. Such skills can help them produce a winning bid for you. 

• Planning

Anyone that has written a bid knows that planning is essential. Working back from the submission can help you work out a viable timeframe for tasks. Thorough planning is needed to ensure all bases are covered more than adequately by the submission deadline.

Most Bid Consultants will create a bid plan and a bid breakdown before they start any bid. This helps them gauge the work involved and what they need to cover. It also helps them plan what information they need to get from you.

• Time management

Impeccable time management is needed by Bid Consultants to meet multiple tight deadlines. If you have ever bid for work before, you’ll know that deadlines are final. Any late submissions will never be considered. What’s more, submissions in the wrong format will also be discounted. Therefore, they must have flawless time management.

Bid Consultants are usually working on multiple bids for their clients at one time. In order to manage their workload, they must manage their time well.

• Attention to detail

You know what they say, the devil is in the detail. This is definitely the case for bid writing. This can be the difference between a winning and losing bid. Writing bids involves a lot of proofing and industry-specific terminology. This all must be flawless. Bid Consultants must be able to relate the client’s business to the specification in detail. They must demonstrate why they are the best business for the job.

Don’t just take our word for it

Here are some testimonials from our clients that we have done bid management or RFP writing for….

Daniel and the team were incredibly professional and delivered a very high level of service with our tender application.

Unfortunately, we found out about the opportunity at the last minute, which meant that we required a very tight turnaround and the team went the extra mile for us to ensure that it was ready on time within the stipulated deadline. The application proved to be successful and we are delighted with the outcome.

Could not recommend any higher.”

in particular given the difficulties of transferring/translating the value of our Italian Social Cooperative work into the bid writing process:

language sometimes can be a limit but we found how flexibility and creativity helped Hudson to support our business.”
