Suppliers and vendors can also learn how to identify and reduce delivery risk and commercial risk. Responding to requests-for-tenders (RFTs) and requests-for-proposals (RFPs) is frequently a challenging time for the supplier and vendor bid teams.

Mastering these topics makes bid management a complete discipline that places a premium on leadership and managerial skills.

Proposal writers and the larger bid management community have many concurrent proposals to work on and a part of the effort is oriented towards researching online to find latest trends, technology changes, competitor positioning, upcoming disruptive models etc.They only need to get inspiration from the recruiters who look to find the needle in the haystack every day to find the right candidate to fulfill the hiring manager mandate. The search strings, productivity tricks and their ways of thinking they implement can be utilized by bid management teams to emulate them.These are the times the upper management is asking for more productivity from the bid management community. The days of proposal editing, compiling information from multiple sources and packaging the bid maybe coming to an end. The bid managers (no hands on or very little hands on skills) who are functioning as bid coordinators would be the ones who would feel the heat the most. Employers may want to see more value added output like solution architecture, qualitative research, and more robust pricing estimates.As margins come under pressure, the top management may introduce proposal automation software to improve productivity bottlenecks, so expect more workloads.This exercise is an attempt to equip the bid management community with the various ways and methods to optimize their time and find the relevant information (budgets, trends, movers and shakers etc.) to be better prepared to deliver a more effective proposal.

At what stage in the process do commercial projects go wrong? Some of the worst problems (unrealistic objectives, faulty assumptions, and poorly understood constraints) are 'programmed in' at conception when the bid is written, long before the project manager is brought on board. If the bid is misconceived, no amount of clever project management is going to recover the situation. Involving the designated project manager at the bidding stage is becoming the norm in many commercial organizations. Some make the project manager the bid manager so they can direct all aspects of the project's conception. Getting the bid right is the essence of planning for project success, and is the main theme of this book. However, many project managers are unfamiliar with the pitfalls of competitive bidding and don't know how to balance a compelling sales message against a realistic delivery plan. Bid Writing for Project Managers will guide prospective project managers through the bid-writing lifecycle, providing comprehensive guidelines and numerous tips on how to craft a winning bid and how to set the project up with the best possible chance of success.

Creating job opportunities and ensuring the steady growth and continuity of a contracting company hinge on the development of a robust, well-structured pricing plan for bids. This must be coupled with the continuous acquisition of knowledge and experience over time. Such an approach is the most effective way to secure public, commercial, and industrial projects in today’s highly competitive market—a market further complicated by the recent crises that have impacted Europe and the global economy at large. Rather than adopting a pessimistic outlook and resigning ourselves to the notion that "only the best will survive," we must recognize that survival and success belong to the best bidders and the most skilled bid managers.
