Biz Guru Services provides Bid Management consultancy under the brand of The Bid Manager.

Bid Management - one of the most difficult roles there is.

Be it invitation to tender for software packages, a PFI project, or even a World Bank Bid in a third  world country.  All are stressful and difficult in an increasingly challenging business environment.

The Bid Manager offers bid consultancy to assist with the preparation of Invitation to Tenders (ITT), Request for Proposals (RFP), Proposals, Tender Evaluations and Bid Risk Reviews. We also provide bid management training and SuperBid - our bid methodology to assist you in preparing winning bids.

The consultancy can take the form of bid management, risk reviews, quality reviews and proposal evaluation.  The Bid Manager's experience in project and programme management means that this consultancy can extend into the first stages of your winning project.

Should you have more complex requirements, are reviewing your existing bid environment,  or setting up a new environment, we are also able to combine training and mentoring with our consultancy. 

  • Consultancy
    The Bid Manager offers bid consultancy to assist with the preparation of Invitation to Tenders (ITT), Request for Proposals (RFP), Proposals, Tender Evaluations and Bid Risk Reviews.

  • Bid Environments
    The Bid Manager will assist you in setting up your bid environment or bid office or just assist you in making it work better! We achieve this with our unique combination of consultancy, training and support.

  • Modular Training
    Bid Management training requirements are by necessity, very company specific. We provide  modular training courses that are highly customizable. We will work with you to design your optimum course to meet your business and training needs.

  • Mentoring
    Uniquely Biz Guru Services also offers mentoring - working alongside your staff, assisting them to implement recent lessons learnt and allowing your staff to quickly benefit from their training.

  • Outsourcing
    If you are unable or prefer not to employ a full time bid management environment, The Bid Manager can undertake this role, in a retained or "as required" basis. We also offer a similar service to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) to provide them with bid or tender management services tailored to meet their individual needs.
     

In response to many requests from medium sized companies or those with a tight budget we also provide several "Need a Hand?" options.

In all of the packages The Bid Manager will provide you with:

  • SuperBid - our bid methodology.

  • Details of how to set up your own bid environment and bid tool kit.

  • The ability to define your own bid strategy.

  • An understanding of how to manage bid risk.

  • Pointers to a winning presentation.

  • Methods to control your bids.

  • Suggestions on how to improve your bids.

  • Telephone and email support via our dedicated email and telephone services.
