The challenge

A twenty-person management consultancy was preparing its first formal tender, for a bank transformation project. The response required forty answers within specified word limits. The team had experience to draw on, but needed help presenting it in the required format.

§ 02

Our approach

We organised the response around the bank's questions and transformation framework. Case studies were restructured to explain the situation, work completed and results. The submission work also included the proposed methodology, risk register and pricing tables. The team completed the response in seven days.

§ 03

The result

The consultancy won the £2.4M contract with a quality score of 94/100. The feedback described the methodology as: “Most compelling methodology we've seen.” The business subsequently made eight hires, opened a new London office and continued working with Bidgen.

“We knew we were better than the Big 4 for this project, but couldn't prove it on paper. Bidgen translated our expertise into a winning bid.”
