What our clients say
“THANK YOU for your input on our recent BHP Billiton proposal. We learned yesterday afternoon that the client had accepted the proposal as it stood i.e. no need for any amendments, not even commercial negotiations! His words were something along the lines of ‘the proposal, its scope, approach, methodology and pricing are spot on - no changes required.’ Your input went a long way to us delivering a cogent, quality proposal - my sincere thanks.” CEO, IT Consulting Firm

Good proposal planning starts with understanding the RFT

Robyn Haydon

Taking the time to plan your content is important to the success of your proposal. To do this properly, you need to make a concerted effort to really understand the RFT.

This is not as easy as it sounds. Requests for Tender (RFTs) are not a perfect source of information. Many RFTs lack key operational data about the size, shape and volume of the purchase, which makes it difficult to formulate a response unless you are the incumbent. Not all RFTs are well written or well constructed, which makes the task even harder for bidders.
