how we can help
We are a small UK consultancy with big international experience. We work with a wide range of organisations to help them retain their contracts at rebid and increase their contract retention rates.
About us
The principles of rebidding are common – but their application is always different depending on your organisation, contract or situation. We take best practices and help you apply them to your unique circumstances. The result is not only with a better rebid, but long term improvements to your rebid processes and understanding – so you can win future rebids yourself.
We also work with organisations aiming to improve their processes, skills ways of working for new bids

Your book is a game changer. You show how a company can win more contracts by linking the program delivery process to the proposal preparation process. Everyone engaged in responding to solicitations should read your book. Your approach offers the potential for a company to generally uplift its market position.
Russel Smith, President OCI (Organizational Communications Inc)
Brilliant…brilliant…brilliant. Everyone is always talking about “thought leadership”, leaving it undefined. But I know it when I see it. This is some genuine thought leadership. You and team have done an exceptional job of compiling information and analyzing it to come up with a compelling set of findings. Incumbents with upcoming rebids should read this.

The Rebid Guide really does help put the whole subject matter into perspective. I have never seen or read such a comprehensive piece of work, really impressed with the whole thing.
