Professional Services Tenders

The volume and range of professional services tenders seems ever-increasing.  Legal services, finance, accounting, IT services, and marketing & PR are increasingly being outsourced.  In each of these disciplines competition for contracts is stiff.

Public sector commissioners have plenty of highly qualified and competent vendors to choose from and they apply the bidding criteria very strictly. Your reputation and track record have little influence – it’s about how well you understand and meet their criteria, and how persuasively you put your case across.

Professional Services Tenders - How we help

• Confirming that your proposition addresses the motivation behind the outsourcing and meets the client’s essential objectives.
  
• Ensuring that the key information the commissioner wants and needs to see is easy to find and clearly expressed (with evidence of your relevant experience).
