The challenge

A twenty-person management consultancy was preparing its first formal tender, for a bank transformation project. The response required forty answers, each within a word limit. The team had the experience but needed help setting it out in the format the bank asked for.

§ 02

Our approach

We organised the response around the bank's questions and transformation framework. We restructured the consultancy's case studies to set out the situation, the work and the results. The submission also covered the proposed methodology, risk register and pricing tables. It took seven days from kick-off to submission.

§ 03

The result

The consultancy won the £2.4M contract with a quality score of 94/100. The feedback on the methodology read: “Most compelling methodology we've seen.” The business went on to make eight hires, open a new London office and keep 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.”
