WHY BID PERFECT?
Since our founding in 2006, we have become the bid partner of choice for many organisations. Our customers range between small local enterprises and major international companies.
Our bid winning methods are deployed in every imaginable vertical market and we have trained and placed bid professionals in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the US. We have analysed and re-engineered the bid processes of many companies, and we support complex bid projects with strategic planning, bid management, writing, reviewing, and editorial support. In addition, our media division produces extraordinary graphic designs and filmed media to accompany bids.
We will empower you to increase your win rates, maximise your turnover and profitability, and improve contract retention. Your people will also be more motivated and confident when writing bids. Our principal goal is to forge lasting, mutually rewarding relationships with our customers.
What we can do for you:
- Bid skills training - live and online events, and eLearning
- Interim bid personnel for all levels and disciplines
- Permanent placement, and executive search & selection
- Graphic design, filmmaking, CGI & animation, and digital bid content
- Expert bid consultancy and process re-engineering
- Bid writing, reviews, editing, and proofreading
PERMANENT & INTERIM BID PEOPLE
We will find you the right people with the right skills, ready to help you deliver a winning bid, on time and on budget.
Whether you need a new permanent bid professional or a short-term interim placement, we will provide you with the right selection of candidates for any level of bid personnel.
This is what we do - for all recruitment linked to bidding and commercial disciplines. Our contact base is extensive, and we have found and recruited exceptional bid personnel for many organisations throughout the UK and globally.
We will listen, discuss your requirements, and offer advice. We will locate exceptional candidates, carry out pre-screening, interview and test them and check their references. Only then will we present them as a suitable candidate for your role.
THE BID/NO BID APP
Selecting the right bids to invest in is a business-critical decision:
Planning and writing bids consumes valuable resources, principally time and money. By not making informed and pragmatic Bid/No Bid decisions, you could be wasting those resources. If your current win rate is, let’s say, 20%, it means that 80% of your investment in bidding is not producing a return. So, it makes absolute sense to only invest in the ‘right’ bids.
Being rigorous in your Bid/No Bid decisions and rejecting bids where you have a low prospect of winning will help to reduce that lack of return on your investment.
The quickest way to improve your bid win rate is to avoid writing bids you are (probably) going to lose.

EXPERT AND EMPATHETIC ADVICE
In any aspect of bidding, there is a great deal to look at and we recommend our clients take a modular approach. We do not try to fix things that are not broken, nor do we take a prescriptive methodology. We establish where you want to be and then empower you to get there.
A well-managed business is always mindful of cost. Therefore, we tailor our consulting programme to meet with your individual budget and needs. This is why our modular approach works so well – you have absolute control over the cost of each of our interventions and only proceed when you are satisfied that the objectives have been achieved. However, you will likely recoup our fees many times over if you win just one bid or tender you would not have previously.
TESTIMONIALS
Our association with Bid Perfect began in 2014 when we met with two of the directors at a European bid seminar. During our initial conversations, it became clear that Bid Perfect offered a portfolio of bid support services that would meet our demanding and unique tendering challenges.
Since that time, Bid Perfect has provided us with a range of bid training programmes and learning seminars, process consultancy, interim bid management and writing support. We have found Bid Perfect to be a flexible, quality-driven, and trusted partner with a genuine empathy for our business and people. They deliver both ad-hoc services and formalised programmes.
On a personal note, I have found the directors of Bid Perfect to be engaging, knowledgeable, and highly skilled at what they do. We will be continuing to engage with them far into the future.
