Rebidding Solutions Helping you win your rebids

Nigel from Rebidding Solutions has helped us transform our retention rate from 30% to 90% over the past two years. His deep understanding of what it takes to win rebids, and his drive and support in practically applying that knowledge in our business has meant we have transformed how we prepare for rebids, run them and how we approach contract delivery.

The workshops Rebidding Solutions deliver have provided our organisation with an insight into how to look at the re-bidding process in a different way. The workshop challenges our established thought patterns and engages the team to think the whole process through in a different way. The workshops are highly interactive and tailor made to the organisation which allowed us to get the best from the team involved.

Rebidding Solutions were extremely helpful in providing independent review and critical challenge for a successful bid to run Community Rehabilitation Services for the Ministry of Justice. Their input was really valued by the bid team and the speed they worked at was also appreciated.

Nigel brought us a fresh approach and a real vitality to our rebids. His approach reinforced at bid, contract and director level the importance of effective rebid and bid planning. This has been instrumental in moving us away from a view about a “curse of the incumbent” to one where we recognise our success and can illustrate it more effectively in our bids and proposals.

The course was very helpful indeed. It has allowed us to get the team focused on collating necessary evidence in support of our rebid and certainly reminded us that complacency and assumptions about what a good job we do have no place in the process!

We had the pleasure of working with Nigel from Rebidding Solutions on a major Framework Tender opportunity, where he acted as a consultant alongside our Tender Executive.

Nigel collaborated closely with our team—helping to refine storyboards, structure responses, and ensure alignment with the evaluation criteria. Always accessible and responsive, Nigel provided invaluable advice and support at every stage.

We were successfully awarded onto this Framework, where we proudly ranked 2nd overall. We are incredibly grateful for Nigel’s contribution and would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him again on future tenders.

Working with Nigel Thacker from Rebidding Solutions has been a game-changer for CIPFA in how we approach bids, rebids and proposals. Nigel undertook a thorough review of our win rates, templates, and overall approach, and his recommendations led to immediate improvements in quality, consistency and outcomes.

He supported us in reshaping our proposal resources – creating clear, persuasive templates and toolkits that made it easier for teams to respond with focus and impact. His guidance on the use of imagery, tone and structure significantly elevated the professionalism and visual appeal of our submissions.

Equally valuable was Nigel’s work to strengthen our internal policies and processes – from bid/no-bid decision-making to governance, role clarity and continuous improvement. We’re now far more structured in how we plan, develop and review bids and rebids, and we approach each opportunity with greater confidence and discipline.

Nigel brings a rare combination of strategic insight, hands-on experience, and collaborative style. I’d highly recommend him to any organisation looking to improve the effectiveness and impact of their bids, rebids and proposals.
