Proposal planning, writing, proofreading, management & more.

Proposal Planning and Storyboarding

  • Spend time with our consultants
  • Map out storyboard responses
  • Advice on language, style and structure
  • Plan how to focus time and resources
  • Establish clear timetables and check lists

Our consultant will spend time with you going through the issued tender documentation at which ever phase of the process you want and put together a clear plan of how to respond to the document. This will provide you with a mapped out story board for each question and guidance on language, style and structure.

It will also advise you how best to focus your time and resources to maximise your response; and provide you with a project timetable and check list so that you can track all of the key requirements included in the submission.

Proposal Writing

  • Professional writers
  • Write entire response for you including method statements
  • Regular updates and review meetings
  • Build a compelling sales document
  • Format to suit proposal criteria

We employ experienced writers. They will take your ideas and knowledge and using their experience; write the entire response for you. This can be done based from your offices or through a process of remote working. With regular updates and review meetings at your offices, or where convenient to monitor and review the progress of your bid. Our writers will draw out and fill in those missing links in your knowledge. Focusing on building compelling sales documents we will put them into a format that will satisfy the proposal criteria and sell the key features and benefits of your organisation

Proposal Proof reading AND Editing

  • Ensure grammar, spelling and sentence structure works
  • Figure numbers and table references are correct
  • Electronic or hardcopy mark ups
  • Simple price per page system

Crossing the I’s and doting the T’s is absolutely critical if you want to evidence your professionalism as an organisation. Our professional proof reading service works based on a simple price per page basis.

We can review both text and electronic documents and can supply both amended and marked up copies for electronic documents. In the case of hardcopy only, we can supply a fully marked up document with amendments clearly visible.

Proposal Management

  • Flexibility to suit you
  • Manage proposal from issue to submission
  • Relieve the burden on you and your staff
  • Solutions from experienced professionals

Our proposal experts can work with you as part of your team or on a flexible basis to help you manage the submission from the moment you receive tender documents to final submission. A proposal not managed or led can very quickly fall into chaos and limit the quality and impact of the final submission. Therefore the delivery of a successful document requires the skills of a good project manager and someone who understands the range of pit falls and challenges encountered in the proposal process.

Our team can provide the solutions to these risks and ensure an effective bid is delivered. Doing this on your own or giving it to an alternate member of your team who is juggling responsibilities or lacks the experience; can lead to a compromised bid, overworked colleagues and day-to-day business critical tasks being overlooked.

Proposal Evaluation

  • Fresh set of eyes
  • Detailed evaluation of documents
  • Highlight errors or omissions
  • Suggestions for improvement
  • Improvement for the future

Ensuring your proposal has ticked all of the boxes for the client as requested in the bid documentation can be difficult to gauge when you are closely associated with the work. Our team can provide a detached evaluation of your documents. When your final draft is ready for review we can sit with you or remotely provide independent evaluations, pointing out obvious errors or omissions and adding additional suggestions for improvement.

We can if requested go through the document and undertake revision and editorial adjustments. We can also undertake this process as part of a review of your past submissions if you are struggling to achieve the required scores. At each stage we will highlight where you can improve for the future

Proposal Reviews

  • High level review of final draft
  • Check list check
  • Referencing check
  • Readability check
