Exceptional Training, Exceptional Outcomes
Bid Perfect is providing bid training for c.100 Mitie sales colleagues under our Sales Academy, with universally excellent feedback confirming our confidence in their design and delivery. They were professional and patient as we developed our requirement, offered expert advice, and delivered a taster session at our annual sales conference. We also invested in their eLearning modules within our LMS. Bid Perfect have since supported us with consultation, editing, and review on a major bid, helping us significantly improve our proposition. They’ve become a trusted partner.

Group Sales DirectorLong-Term Partners in Bid Improvement
Bid Perfect has provided us with bid consultation, interim support, and training services for ten years, first running a bid training course for us in 2009. They recently carried out a detailed firm-wide consultation on our bidding processes, helping us identify key areas for improvement and the need to equip stakeholders with stronger bid strategy and writing skills. As a result, they designed a two-day bid training course that’s been met with enthusiasm and excellent feedback, with around 70 colleagues due to be trained by the end of the programme. Bid Perfect are easy to deal with and work hard to deliver consultancy and learning experiences that meet our objectives and make things less complicated.

Bid Perfect is Babcock’s trusted partner for bid support services and has consistently delivered excellent results since 2014. Originally one of three strategic suppliers, they are now our principal partner due to a strong relationship built on trust, value for money, and a pre-negotiated rate card that supports accurate bid budgeting. We rely on them for a continuous supply of professional and dependable bid personnel, including writers, managers, directors, and graphic specialists who adapt quickly and help shape winning content from the start.

Nigel Hudson
Head of Bid ProgrammesSpecialists Who Understand Our Business
Our association with Bid Perfect began in 2014 after meeting their directors at a European bid seminar, where it was clear their services could meet our unique tendering challenges. Since then, they’ve delivered a range of bid training programmes, learning seminars, process consultancy, and interim bid management and writing support. We’ve found them to be flexible, quality-driven, and empathetic to our business and people, delivering both ad-hoc services and formal programmes. The directors are engaging, knowledgeable, and highly skilled, and we look forward to continuing our partnership long into the future.

Vice President of Business Strategy Technology & ConsultingTargeted Training and Strategy That Delivered Results
NATS recently secured a major new ten-year contract with strong growth potential. Bid Perfect supported the bid through a series of highly regarded training courses, followed by a defensive bidding workshop tailored to this opportunity. Neal Basson also helped shape the structure and narrative of our executive summary. Their Bid Value Matrix tool was particularly well received by the team and added real clarity to our value proposition. Given the success of this partnership, we fully intend to engage Bid Perfect for further customised workshops on upcoming competitive bids.

Can you advise on IR35 legislation?

How do you ensure the quality of the bids produced?
