BID LIBRARY
WHAT GOES INTO A WELL STOCKED LIBRARY?
THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU MAY NEED TO WRITE YOUR BID
It is a repository for constantly used documents (e.g. insurance certificates, quality accreditations, CVs, case studies, etc.) and benchmarked answers to commonly posed questions.
The correct use of previously written answers improves efficiency when writing bid responses and reduces the time required. The content in a bid library should be constantly evolving in response to the feedback you receive from customers who have received one of your bids and all official documentation and information should be current.
CREATING A LIBRARY FOR THE FIRST TIME?
We have provided a free downloadable list of the key documents you should have available.
Alternatively, Bid Perfect can help you by reviewing each one of your documents and ensuring they are ready to go into a bid. For example, are your case studies written to best practice standards? Are your previously used answers delivering the impact you expect? Are your templates following quality guidelines?
If you want help building a new bid library, or rationalising an existing one, then please contact us.
