Bid Success for Project Five Clients

Fast becoming known within industry as a leading provider of procurement and bidding support, Katy reflects on what can only be described as a “winning” year celebrating a 98% bid success rate;

“As the drive to demonstrate best value for the best value for the public pound increases and spending from the public purse tightens, industry is under rising pressure to differentiate and demonstrate 'best value' from one bid to the next. Having supported a range of clients from multinationals to SME’s it is great to see the market driving to innovate and continuously improve in order to produce winning bids.”

Seeing off the likes of Laing O’Rourke and Vinci Construction, Katy recently supported Morgan Sindall in their success to take the £120m third PF2 North West batch of schools. Working closely with the team bid manager, Katy was able to provide the bid team with a clear strategy, working up a designated schedule of works to ensure a quality and ultimately winning bid response.

Both courses are 1 day and CPD certified, meaning attendees will receive recognition for their attendance. In addition, Project Five are offering Early Bird discount rates of up to 25% for those who book before April 3rd.
