Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does a Bid Manager do?

A Bid Manager oversees the entire bid process - managing timelines, contributors, and content to ensure a smooth and compliant submission.

When should I hire a Bid Manager?

When you need someone to lead and control the bid process without taking on full strategic direction. They are perfect for complex or multi-contributor bids.

What’s the difference between a Bid Manager and Bid Co-ordinator?

A Bid Co-ordinator focuses on organisation and administration, while a Bid Manager owns the process, leads contributors, manages content, and drives delivery.

Can they help with content too?

Yes. While they aren’t the writer, they ensure content is accurate, complete, and aligned to client needs - working with SMEs and writers to polish responses.

How does the hiring process work?

Our process begins with a consultation to understand your needs. We then match you with a Bid Consultant who has the relevant experience to guide your project. Throughout the bid process, your consultant will be your primary point of contact, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.

What are the fees?

We offer flexible pricing structures, including fixed-price packages for clear deliverables and hourly rates for ongoing projects. During our consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown, ensuring transparency throughout.

What information do I need to provide?

To get started, we’ll need details about the bid opportunity, your company’s background, and your strategic objectives. Our consultant will guide you through the process, making sure we have all the necessary information to craft a winning proposal.

How long does the bid process take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the bid and your deadline. Our consultants work efficiently to ensure that your bid is completed on time without compromising on quality.

Long-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.

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.

Specialists 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.

Targeted 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.
