Digitalized & more effective
Bid Management

The major bid management process is wildly analogue today even though it is of critical importance to your financial performance – especially the ones active in business markets or the government sector. Bid management often resides within sales or as a side function within finance departments. Companies have taken some steps to optimise the bid management process over the years. We would like to show you how to get your Bid Management to the next level.

We understand the challenges you are facing

Time Consumption

It takes a lot of time to prepare a bid while you don’t even know if the investment is worth it. We know exactly how frustrating this can be.

tender_complexity

Complexity of the Bid

Every customer has it’s own wants and needs and you want to fulfill every single one. This can lead to a very complex bidding process.

Time Pressure

You know that feeling when the delivery date comes close. Working under pressure is one of the biggest challenges in Bid Management.

tender_target

Wrong Target Setting

Offers often appear to be more of a tech document instead of a USP argumentation which makes it hard to convince a client.

Keep a close eye on deadlines

For successful bid management, it is important to have an eye on your deadlines. Neither your team, nor the decision maker, should be under pressure. To ensure this, it is recommended to set all decision gates from the the delivery date. Include a buffer for interactions and revisions to make sure deadlines don’t get tight. Uffective supports your time management by giving you every date connected to a bid at a glance.

Don’t get messy – work with standardised offerings and pricings

If you have many bids to manage per year, make sure that you offer standardised products, solutions or services as possible to your prospects. If you don’t, you will end up increasing your delivery risk.

Our configurable product or service catalogue is the way to bring order and transparency around your offerings and pricings.

Steer your bid portfolio along standardised commercial KPIs

  • It is important to evaluate your potential success score
  • Estimate the effort and investment to prepare and deliver the bid
