Precise Proposals is an innovative bid consultancy built on a team with a 20 year track record of winning private sector and public sector contracts throughout the UK, Ireland and internationally. Our team has repeatedly achieved an 80% win rate, winning contracts worth millions. We've handled proposals of 10k to 250M in value. During one long term engagement, we helped raise a company's gross pro

fit by 36% within three years. On top of our classical skills in bids and tenders, we are the only bid consultancy able to provide a winning edge for public sector contracts using our innovative CREATE (Contract Realignment Enabling Accurate Tender Evaluation). This solves the conundrum of gaining maximum marks while delineating contractual risk in legal format proposals and schedules. Contact us for details!

Just one month ago, we celebrated the start of our 12th year in operations.

A big THANK YOU to all our clients who have trusted us to take their business to the next level. Through thick and thin, we work together!

We just got very positive feedback on a tender we prepared for a green energy project in Denmark. The awarding company reported that our client is "the front runner" for the job and are seeking to move to contract soon.

Win rate still more than ten times the national average (according to FSB Research) so we are still going by the grace of God!

This was a particularly satisfying result:
- our client had been unsuccessful in previous attempts
- we had some exceptional challenges in the tender submission
- this was the first time we had worked with this client
- this client is a relatively small business seeking to break into larger construction contracts.

It is brilliant to see a family-run firm achieving results like this. This kind of scenario makes the hard work worth it.

Checking through our history reveals the gem below from over 5 years ago. It tells a story of a contract won with The Executive Office of the Northern Ireland Assembly even though the Executive had collapsed.

Strangely enough, we are back in the same position regarding Stormont. Non-functioning.

Plus รงa change, plus c'est la mรชme chose.

Thankfully, some good things haven't changed either Our Client still has a 100 % win rate with now 13 contracts tendered for over the years. All won and most with 100% marks.

We know it's not luck: quality work done with grace and favour. Very thankful!

What is one of our secrets to success? Having a robust checking process. When digging for treasure, we make sure the opportunities are real and worth the effort. Best to find that out before getting in too deep...

Privileged to have been an invited panel speaker at the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce & Industry - Winning Business event. Some great discussions on effective tendering!

10/12/2021

Thankful for three contract wins this week. Our win rate for 2021 is now at 88%

Happy clients!

Wonderful quote from another satisfied client:

"I wanted to let you know that I just received a perfect score on the quality response of a tender I was working on this month. We were appointed today and I am awaiting the written scoring feedback, but over the phone the client said my response was 100% in all areas and extremely well structured and detailed.

I hoped to share this for you as a testimonial of how impactful your workshop and the process of working with you has been already."

News like that is a great way to finish another busy week!๐Ÿ™‚

Every cloud has a silver lining. 2020 doesn't figure prominently in years to celebrate for most of us, but that elusive silver lining is there if you look for it.

Our silver lining is that, in the year to date, we've thankfully had a 90% win rate (36 out of 40) tenders and proposals.

Notable wins included:

G-Cloud 12. Our client was a novice to tendering, yet won places on both the lots submitted.

Another was for a multi-million Euro construction contract in Dublin. The requirements documents were so complex even the Authority didn't understand them properly! However perseverance through clarifications paid off. Our client's responses were rated "excellent" or "outstanding".

Another was for a client who won a ยฃmillion plus contract for the first time. They previously subsisted on a diet of ยฃ10k public sector jobs but wanted to try for the big time, and reaped the rewards.

Another was for a client who now has a 100% record of wins on 10/10 tenders. They have a long term partnership in place for their bid needs and it's really paying dividends for them.

Still, tendering never stands still. Standards are climbing all the time. We keep learning and we keep pushing on by the grace of God! New horizons beckon...
