Just like awards, when it comes to tenders everyone wants to win them, but no one enjoys preparing them.

Too often preparing a submission gets reduced to an eleventh-hour panic about missing the deadline, with all the original excitement about the business opportunity lost to the stress of the process. Sounds familiar? Well, we’re here to help.

Introducing No Crumbs Communications bid management and tender preparation services – our happy place where we get to play with every toy in our toy box.

For example:

• Strategic thinking. What can we do to stand out from the crowd? Let’s facilitate a workshop to really nut that out.
• A compelling narrative – why pick us? What’s our story?
• Translation services – let’s take that engineering speak [insert profession as appropriate] and create a document that everyone can understand, without ‘dumbing it down’.
• Project management – this process has a beginning, middle, and end – and requires exceptional time management skills (see deadline issue above) and attention to detail.
• Herding cats – wrangling information out of different people with competing priorities, within a fixed timeframe and (if you really want to aim for the moon) getting them to submit their contributions in a consistent template.

Phew. It’s no wonder everyone (except us) hates this process.
