Bid Strategy

To produce a successful tender it is vital that you are able to respond quickly and effectively once the request for tender (RFT) has been released.

This means being ready well before the tender period begins and the clock starts ticking.

Red Pony provides strategic advice and tendering expertise to organisations looking to raise their success rate and improve their ability to produce winning tenders.

Bid strategy development

Producing a successful tender is not an easy thing to do. Time is inevitably short and the stakes can be high. More than likely, you can do with all the help you can get.

By engaging a Red Pony consultant you can add an experienced professional to your bid team and gain a crucial edge over your competition.

We can help you to:

• evaluate submission requirements
• identify your unique value proposition
• structure your tender document
• source expertise from within your organisation and externally
• plan and manage the tendering process.

Whether you are submitting a tender for the first time, or you are looking to gain a strategic advantage for a ‘must win’ opportunity, Red Pony can help you to devise a strategy for success.

Bid management

Writing a tender can present a serious logistical challenge to any organisation. Coordinating the input of the various subject matter experts, maintaining version control, conducting reviews with management and other stakeholders as well as printing the final response—all these activities take time which could be spent more efficiently.

Red Pony can take the pain out of the tender process by providing an end-to-end bid management service. We have a proven tender process methodology developed over many engagements, plus tools such as our online collaboration site to coordinate input and project communications. We can even arrange for the production and printing of the final submission.

Proposal reviews and analysis

Are you losing work to your competitors through unsuccessful tenders? Is your win-to-loss ratio lower than it should be? Do you just need an impartial assessment from an experienced tender writer and consultant?

Red Pony can examine your previous submissions to provide a detailed report of their various strengths and weakness, as well as recommendations for improvement.

Red Pony has an impressive track record helping clients across industry sectors including engineering, finance, information technology, communications and construction to successfully tender for projects worth many millions of dollars. We can put this experience and expertise at your disposal.
