Q&A with our Bid Team – How do we get to know your company?

At Hudson succeed, we pride ourselves in forming longstanding relationships through fully getting to know our clients and their company operations. Our bespoke tender consultancy services are entirely tailored toward our client’s needs, whilst helping streamline organisational strategies which create business growth. We are as invested in our client’s business growth as they are and always source, create and strengthen opportunities for expansion. No two clients are identical; hence, we remain flexible in our services and always provide our bid consultancy services bespoke to each client’s needs. Below are the ways in which our team will get to know your company in order to showcase you in the best possible light:

How do you gain an understanding of your client’s specialisms?

Vital to tackling the world of bid management and tendering is understanding what makes you stand out from the crowd. Part of our bespoke bid consultancy services is understanding what areas of specialism your company has. The way in which we do this is:

Developing CVs

We get to know each team member who operates within your company individually, understand their key roles, responsibilities, experiences and specialisms. We have an in-house design team who can develop high-quality branded CVs. As well as this, we can develop CVs which are bespoke to projects which you are bidding for, helping you to streamline specific team members who will work on certain projects. This allows you to showcase your team in the best possible light.

In the cleaning sector, for example, let’s say a tender asks you about your management team’s experience. Here, it will be vital to ensure you submit CVs that outline your management team’s ability in delivering to projects of similar size and scope. If you are bidding for cleaning services for a school, having CVs that are tailored toward your management’s experience in educational environments will allow you to stand out and showcase the best of your abilities.

Developing case studies

Part of our bespoke tendering consultancy service is getting to know your company’s key areas of specialisms through your successful past projects. We work closely alongside you to develop case studies which showcase your business’ greatest achievements and can be specifically tailored toward each proposal we develop. For example, let’s say you are a Chartered Surveying firm who specialise in a wide array of surveying and engineering services, our team can develop specially designed case studies which showcase your experience across a wide array of projects you have delivered, streamlining your tendering efforts so they are specific to each proposal you go for, which in turn, can aid in maximising success rates.

Sourcing your opportunities for growth

We understand that not everybody has the time to source opportunities whilst balancing running a business. Our bespoke bids consultancy services take the stress of sourcing new areas for growth from you. We get to know your company’s areas of specialist growth and streamline opportunity tracking based off of this information. Our team can meet you face-to-face or liaise via the telephone, understand your key areas for growth, or perhaps, new areas for expansion. We often source new areas for growth for our clients and can help in developing content that tackles new and innovative avenues for growth backed up by current organisational experience.

In sectors such as Creative and Technology where development is constant, it is vital that you search for new opportunities and ways in which you can stay relevant. Our team are constantly researching new ways of developing business growth and can aid you in finding new and exciting avenues for progression.

Developing bespoke tender responses

Fundamental to the bespoke Tender Writing services that we provide are developing high-quality responses which showcase your abilities in the best possible manner.

Which sectors do you have experience in?

Our Bid Writers are experienced in creating high quality, technical responses across multiple different sectors and can quickly adapt to different clients to help improve content development. Our sister company, Hudson Discover, houses 11 sector-specific tendering portals. We often assist our portal subscribers in their tender writing efforts to help them succeed. Our Hudson Discover portals include:

Construction
Logistics
Hospitality
Human Resources
Creative
Technology
Facilities Management & Cleaning
Consultancy
Research
Finance
Healthcare

Our ever-widening client group combined with our growing team means that we are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities for content creation, so no matter the sector, our bespoke bid consultancy services are for you.

Each individual in our team brings a wealth of experience and knowledge and can assure you that no matter what level of company experience or sector you work in, we can provide bespoke bid consultancy that helps you succeed and grow.

What are the benefits of having your own bespoke Bid Consultant?

Each of our clients has their own Bid Writer who operates as a point of contact for all things tender related. Each Bid Writer works with our clients from day one and forms an integral part of their team. The benefits which this can bring to you and your company are as follows:

Specialist knowledge

Many of our Bid Writers have sector-specific knowledge and experience that they can bring to you and your company. This allows us to hit the ground running with tender submissions and form a part of your team that understands you and your operations. This is vital in developing content for sectors like Construction and Technology where buyers are often looking for a very specific solution to their response. For example, let’s say you are writing a bid for website development, the technical terms you use will be industry standard and it is key to be able to demonstrate your company’s knowledge of this in a manner that is not over complicated. Our team can bring to bear the knowledge and experience that they have to provide effective and bespoke tender solutions that display your technical capabilities in a simple, effective manner.

Outsourcing time and effort

For many businesses, tendering can be a very time-consuming task, especially when trying to factor in other organisational operations. Our bid writer services can alleviate this, providing bespoke services that work around your business’ needs. If you work in very practical and hands-on sectors like utilities, logistics and construction, your forte may not be writing. Outsourcing this can allow you to succeed in your tender writing whilst focusing on what it is that you do best. Our bespoke bid consultancy allows you to focus your energy on your everyday operations whilst ensuring you submit high-quality tender responses.

Creating high-quality company literature

Vital to success in the tendering world is ensuring you have the right policies developed. Some bids may ask you to attach four policies which ultimately outline your ability to deal with certain vital business aspects. For example, having an inefficient or non-existent business continuity and disaster recovery plan will often outline to buyers that you are incapable of providing security should obstacles occur toward service provision. Our bespoke Bid Consultants can ensure all company literature is of a high standard and will help you outline to buyers your organisations wider ability to provide the services they are looking for.

Tender Management

We have a bespoke Tender Management service which provides our retained clients with full management of all tender sourcing, submission and feedback/clarifications. Each service we provide is entirely bespoke to our client’s specific needs and we do not shoehorn strict and standard processes on every client we have.

A wide array of ad-hoc services

We understand that not every business can afford ongoing tender writing services, and with this in mind we offer a wide array of ad-hoc services for our clients. We understand with starting up as a company you may not have loads of extra cash to spend on a monthly basis, that is why we can provide services to you no matter your company’s size. Whether you are a graphic design agency just starting out looking to tackle tendering or need some advice, or you are a multi-million-pound construction agency, we have the knowledge, expertise and care to provide you with bespoke tender consultancy.

Whether it’s a busy month for your company and you haven’t time to submit that all-important proposal you wish to go for, or you merely require a one-off service, we provide multiple services which can help assist your tendering efforts.

In Conclusion

Having bespoke bid consultants who work alongside your company can take the stress away from tendering. Having expert writers on hand to develop high-quality content can be massively beneficial in seeing long-term, continuous growth.
