In order to capitalize on the product development and marketing effort necessary
to launch and promote a companies products and services it is critical to avoid
failure at the bid phase due to poor proposal preparation. The majority of companies, notwithstanding that they are efficiently managed
do not maintain full time bid teams and hence staffing a bid with bid team
members of sufficient calibre at the time dictated by the bid submission
schedule is rarely possible.
A bid submitted under the above conditions is unlikely to adequately describe
to the customer the
capability of the company to fulfill the project or explain the full
benefits to the customer of the solution being proposed. In these circumstances
a bid offered may not be a winning submission and seeking external
assistance may be appropriate. Supply Chain Relationships Limited can provide skilled commercial/contracts
practitioners who have experience of developing winning innovative bids and have
the necessary practical domain knowledge to enhance the bid win probability by
ensuring a comprehensive bid submission is made that will fully detail the
benefits to the customer of the proposed solution.

encompass a full bid submission or an agreed level of support to supplement

The support from Supply Chain Relationships Limited is extended through
