We prepare every aspect of your bid, including certifications, security requirements, mandatory and point-rated evaluation criteria. We also ensure your financial proposal aligns with RFP/tender requirements. Leveraging our extensive knowledge of public procurement policies, directives, procedures and guidelines, we provide insights that safeguard your interests and enhance the competitiveness of your bid.

When possible, early engagement is crucial for a successful bid. We assist you in navigating industry engagement activities, including responding to Requests for Information (RFIs), Letters of Intent (LOIs), and draft RFP. Our team examines industry documents, generates strategic questions for the contracting authority, and drafts RFI responses. We also plan and attend industry days, information sessions, and one-on-one meetings with contracting authorities to gather critical insights that inform our bid strategy.

During the bidding period, we help you stay organized and focused. Our team reviews tender documentation, providing a comprehensive bid plan that meets mandatory requirements and improves your technical score. We conduct regular follow-ups on bid preparation milestones, ensuring timely progress and addressing any emerging issues. By generating strategic questions for the contracting authority, we clarify tender requirements and gain a competitive edge. Additionally, we perform a final quality assurance review of your response to ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency.

Our support continues beyond bid submission. We offer post-submission services, including bid debriefings, feedback analysis, and strategy adjustments. This support helps you refine your bidding process and increase your win rate over time.

Every bid requires a carefully crafted strategy to maximize your chances of success. We analyze previous similar awarded contracts to increase our situational awareness of the commodity trends and competition. We work closely with you to develop winning strategies tailored to the specific requirements of each bid, ensuring your proposal meets the tender requirements and are competitive.

We analyze the tender documents and synthesize the information into a procurement bid checklist to ensure all requirements (certifications, administrative, technical evaluation, financial proposal) are included. We develop clear objectives and project schedule tailored to the complexity of the RFP/tender requirements. We will hold regular progress meetings to discuss upcoming milestones and provide recommendations on improving the bid.

We analyze and interpret the Terms and Conditions (T&C) of each tender, ensuring strict compliance while identifying potential risks. By leveraging our in-depth understanding of government procurement policies, directives, procedures and guidelines, we provide insights that safeguard your interests and maximize your chances of success.

Statement of Works (SOW) are the blueprint for project execution, and a deep understanding of them is key to delivering a winning bid. We examine SOWs, not only to identify risks but also to uncover hidden opportunities for value creation. Our comprehensive analysis equips you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions and position your proposal as the optimal solution.

In the world of government procurement, asking the right questions can make all the difference. That’s why we meticulously review all RFP/tender documents, providing strategic suggestions for questions to the Contracting Authority/government buyer. Our goal is to gain a strategic advantage by uncovering critical information and demonstrating a thorough understanding of the project requirements.

Government tenders are dynamic, with amendments and updates often introduced throughout the bidding period. At Gandeau Consulting, we stay ahead of the curve by reviewing all solicitation amendments and incorporating relevant updates into your bid. This proactive approach ensures that your proposal remains aligned with the latest requirements, enhancing your bids competitiveness and compliance.

Bid creation is a collaborative effort, which is why we work closely with your company’s representatives throughout the process. Our collaborative approach ensures that your unique insights and expertise are fully integrated into the bid, resulting in a proposal that truly reflects the strengths and capabilities of your company.

Before submission, all bid documents undergo a final rigorous quality assurance check to ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency. Your bid writing team should never be left to review their own work. We leave no stone unturned to deliver bids of the highest quality that reflect positively on your organization.
