Tender Review Service

Win or lose, you should always follow up with the contracting authority for feedback and de-briefing. However, while finding out why your marks were awarded (or not!) can be a very useful exercise, having an expert cast their eyes over a document can be invaluable.

Every day, our clients use our mentoring expertise by having one of our bid specialists benchmark their current tendering approach.

We analyse both the quality of your organisation’s written proposals and the way in which you manage proposal development. Our assessment is based on a focused evaluation of three to four of your recently-submitted tenders, which we compare with best practice and our extensive experience in writing winning-quality tender documents. We report back with constructive feedback and a plan for subsequent tendering activity.

Building your online eTenders presence

The new www.eTenders.gov.ie website has recently been launched and requires far more from your company than ever before.

With buyers poised to use the new eTenders portal increasingly as a source of suppliers, in particular for quick quotes for below threshold opportunities, no one can afford for their profile to be sub standard.

Your profile needs to represent your company at its best.

Contact Bid Management Services to create your optimum eTenders portal profile, maximising your chances of being selected to supply the public sector.
