The challenge
A precision engineering firm received an RFP from an automotive manufacturer during a busy production period. Its bid writer was on leave and the production team was tied up with existing orders. With seven days to respond, the managing director needed someone else to write the bid.
§ 02
Our approach
We reviewed the tender and agreed the scope. We interviewed the production manager between shifts about manufacturing methods, quality systems and supply-chain requirements, then wrote the answers and supporting material from those interviews. The production team supplied the technical detail.
§ 03
The result
The response was submitted on Thursday and shortlisted within a week. We then provided a briefing pack for the buyer's site visit. The firm won a £12M contract over three years, the largest single contract in its 40-year history. The business later made two hires and kept using Bidgen for major bids: “Why change a winning formula?”
“We nearly walked away from £12M because we couldn't write a bid. Bidgen saved us.”
