Effective bid writing is a crucial factor in winning contracts and tenders, securing funds or gaining new clients for any company or freelance professional. Are you looking to improve your success rate in bid writing? If so, it is time to master the art of bid writing. This bid management course walks you through the stages of the bidding process and explains how to write good bids and secure the best scores in your industry.
The first step in the bidding process is to look for opportunities and then plan and develop the bid. We teach you how to choose bids suitable for your business and skills and identify the common pitfalls you should avoid. We demonstrate how to ‘shred’ a ‘request for proposal’, list all the customer’s requirements and demonstrate how you plan to meet their needs. The course shows you how to generate your unique selling points (USP) and emphasise your company’s ‘wow factor’ to set your proposition apart from your competitors’.
We then explain how to construct a solid proposal framework using standard estimation methods and provide techniques you can use to identify and mitigate errors. We discuss the difference between ‘cost’ and ‘price’ in the bidding process and demonstrate how to build a cost model and maintain it throughout the process. Bid writers and managers are paramount to any business or organisation. If you are an inspiring bid writer, sign up for this bid management course to acquire the knowledge and skills required to succeed.
