Diverse bidding experience
With 30 years’ experience supporting bids, we’ve worked for a variety of different business sectors. Our skills are transferable, whatever the subject matter. That said, we have extensive experience in public sector tendering for defence contracts, transportation, technology, and renewable energy. We have helped clients to win contracts with values in excess of $2 billion, and at the other end we have worked on contacts worth less than £50,000.
Defence
Many of our early clients were tendering for public sector defence contracts. With Pete’s background in business development for defence, space, and aviation organisations, following time spent in the RAF, it wasn’t surprising that this was an obvious place to start.
BiD Masters has worked with (and continues to support) several major defence companies including prime contractors such as Babcock, Raytheon, Qinetiq, Rolls Royce, and Lockheed Martin.
Transportation
Expanding into transportation, this business sector forms a regular part of our bid support work today. Our transport experience is across all modes; air, sea and land. In fact, several clients have enjoyed our Virtual Bid Team service in addition to support on sizeable tenders.
Alstom, RATPDev, Hitachi, and Saptco have all chosen BiD Masters to deliver high-profile road and rail tenders around the globe. Many of these include the built infrastructure associated with these projects. They come back to us because we’re familiar with their busy marketplace and understand how they work.
Technology
Some of our defence and transportation clients also have divisions focused on technology solutions, such as information technology and communications systems.
Thales and Lockheed Martin are typical examples.
Energy
In the renewable sector, wind and nuclear are where our experience lies. This includes major offshore wind farms in the North Sea working with SeaEnergy and EDPR. We have also work on mobile power generation and supply.
Higher education
It’s not just bidding for contracts, we have also worked with not for profit organisations seeking grant funding.
We assisted Portsmouth Universities to raise grant funding in highly specialist areas of construction research.
Smaller businesses
While we work with many global organisations, BiD Masters also supports small and medium-sized enterprises in various sectors. Recent examples include law and manufacturing.
When it comes to bidding support, SMEs have different needs. They may need us to create their proposal entirely or would prefer specialist feedback and guidance to improve their own document.
With a flexible team of bidmasters to hand, you can work with one specialist or ask us to build a team of skills. This means small businesses can access the same bidding expertise as larger organisations.
