Best Practice Bid Workshops

Thomson FM can offer a unique and unrivalled insight from both client and supplier side perspectives on how award winning facilities management bids are created.
Our Best Practice Bid Workshops are aimed at helping facilities management business development and bid writing teams create market leading and high scoring submissions. Our consultancy team have vast experience of writing winning bid submissions, working with global supply side customers to create winning bid solutions, as well as writing full tender documents and evaluating tender responses for end user customers.
Our one-day workshop will highlight how to identify bid winning themes and how these are incorporated into the submission, getting the basics right, such as understanding what is being asked within the tender questions, how to avoid common pitfalls, the importance of attention to detail, interest retaining formatting and how the bid can stand out from the competition.
