'Twas the night before Christmas, the deadlines drew near, But the bidding team thrived, their path crystal clear. With expertise shining and spirits held high, Their skills took the lead, as BidScript stood by. No more busywork, no time being drained, BidScript removed what once left them constrained.

Collaboration was seamless, all tasks in one flow, No details were missed, no chaos to show. Each bid was a masterpiece, precise and on time, Supercharged by their prowess, and BidScript’s design. It wasn’t the software that won them the fight - It was their vision, their drive, and their might. But BidScript had freed them to do what they do, To innovate, strategise, and see projects through. So as Christmas drew near, and the bidding was done, The team took a moment to savour their run. Their bids were successful, their talents stood tall, With BidScript, they’d harnessed the best of it all.

"We get you to the first draft 85% quicker." Great claim, right? But how good is that first draft? If it’s only 10% of the way to a final submission, does speed even matter? This morning, I had an insightful conversation with Darrell Woodward CP APMP about this fallacy and BidScript’s latest feature release, designed to ensure that the first draft isn’t just fast - but quality, bespoke, and aligned to the evaluation criteria. It’s built to give professionals the strong foundation they need to elevate the response. Because, let’s be honest, a fast first draft isn’t helpful if it: ❌ Isn’t unique ❌ Misses the client’s key words ❌ Fails to address or satisfy evaluation criteria ❌ Fails to include information gathered from capture exercises That’s not a good first draft. With BidScript’s latest feature, users can now: ✅ Extract and embed key words directly into responses ✅ Address and satisfy the evaluation criteria ✅ Embed win themes/ golden threads ✅ Use relevant personas and tone of voices (TOVs) effectively And here’s the best part: 👉 All of this is done efficiently and expediently, with professionals leading the process. Because at BidScript, we believe a great first draft is not just fast - it’s smart.

To Bid or Not to Bid? Work place tug of war!! 👉 Sales: "We have to win this client!" 👉 Project Team: "We can’t even deliver this scope." 👉 Bid Team: "We spent months preparing for this in the pipeline!" We've all been there. Having this process in the 'flow-state' would be amazing for us all, but let's face it - sometimes teams get it wrong. Chasing everything leads to stretched resource and suboptimal proposals. The key - Be strategic. Focus on opportunities you can win and deliver successfully. Ask yourself questions like: ✅ Can we deliver in this scope? • Do we have the relevant expertise in house? • Are we prepared to engage partners/ subcontractors that can cover our skill gaps? • Is the scope feasible for us in the timeline? ✅ ROI & Resource? • Is the project's ROI sufficient? • How does it compare to others that compete for our available resource? • Is it profitable enough? • Is there any long-term value? • Do we have the capacity to take on this project without compromising other work? • What’s the risk to existing commitments if we pursue this? ✅ Relationship • Do we have a pre-existing relationship with the client? • What were their past projects like? How smoothly did they run? Did the cause any problems? • Are they likely to stick with the same vendor as in the past? • Is there any available opportunity to engage with them before the opportunity goes live? ✅ Competitive Landscape • Who are we up against, will they be able to offer better than us? • Are there any gaps in their deliver/ solution that we can fill? ✅ Values and Culture • Does the client’s business and values align with ours? • Are there any potential conflicts in working with this client/ project? The list goes on.. What questions you ask will depend on a number of factors. One size does not fit all. This is where we see significant gaps in bid management software. The pre-bidding pipeline is so important and demands lots of resource and effort: 👉 Sifting through countless opportunities to identify viable ones. 👉 Gathering intel on the client and the project at hand, relevant to the questions above. 👉 Producing clear, actionable summaries and reports to support decision-making. 👉 Coordinating and aligning relevant stakeholders - a process that takes considerable time. And this is just the first part of the pre-bidding pipeline! That's why at BidScript we are going to hone in on the pre-bidding pipeline, alleviate those early pressures and constraints, and provide you the tools you need to tender smarter, not harder.

Capture Management is crucial to the success of a work-winning function, but... it is constantly overlooked by SME's! In the early stages of capture management, the focus is centred around identifying potential opportunities in the pipeline and laying the groundwork for success by building strong relationships with the client. It is absolutely imperative, yet due to a lack of resource, SMEs: ❌ Aren't aware of a relevant opportunity in the pipeline. ❌ Fail to start building relationships with the client early enough. ❌ Don't build a storyboard/ client profile with nuanced details (pain points, values, visions, policies and procedures, what's keeping them up at night. ❌ Skip pre-tender or market engagement activities. ❌ Overlook due diligence on the client or fail to assess the potential ROI of the opportunity. ❌ Miss opportunities to position themselves strategically to strengthen their chances of winning the bid. All in all, they are not prepared and end up getting notified of the opportunity when it's live ... or in other words, when it is too late. Here is what you should do instead: ✅ Implement a qualification mechanism to identify and prioritise opportunities in the pipeline. ✅ Begin building relationships with key stakeholders early on. ✅ Attend pre-tender/ engagement events/ activities. ✅ Assess & understand who else may be bidding and how you can differentiate to add value. ✅ Deeply understand the client's pain points, aspirations, and operational practices - what’s keeping them up at night? Build a comprehensive profile. ✅ Develop a keyword bank based on the language used in PINs or other documentation - it all carries deeper meaning. ✅ Start drafting your storyboard, win themes, and writing strategies so you’re ready when the tender is released. By preparing in advance, you’ll not only improve your chances of winning this opportunity but also lay a solid foundation for future bids. At BidScript, we understand the importance of this process and the challenges organisations face in dedicating the required resources and skills.
