Who it is for
For businesses assessing a tender and organisations preparing a grant application or project proposal. Work begins with the specific selection requirements and the client’s delivery capability. The engagement defines the documents to prepare, the evidence supplied by the client and responsibility for approving and submitting the final material.
A strong submission needs a clear fit between the opportunity, the proposed work and the evidence supplied. The initial review should establish the rules, responsibilities, information gaps and decision dates. A bid/no-bid assessment can be useful before committing resources. No application should describe experience, staffing or specialist arrangements that the applicant cannot substantiate.
How we can help
Eligibility and bid/no-bid assessment
Review documented selection criteria, available evidence and delivery requirements to support a reasoned decision about whether to proceed.
Tender and proposal document coordination
Coordinate bid documents, commercial and financial proposals and a submission-readiness review under clearly allocated client and adviser responsibilities.
Project contract-risk review
Identify agreed commercial and legal questions in proposed project contracts, coordinating qualified legal review where the scope requires it.
Grant and development-project applications
Prepare a defined concept, proposed activities and supporting application documents, with claims and eligibility checked against the particular opportunity.
Budgets, implementation and monitoring
Develop project budgets, responsibilities, implementation schedules and results reporting appropriate to the assignment and its agreed reporting framework.
What you receive
Depending on the approved mandate, the output could be a tender-document package, concept note, proposal budget, implementation schedule, sector study or monitoring framework. It should state who supplies evidence, who approves the final material and who submits it. Technical studies, assurance and certifications are separate disciplines and need separately confirmed competence and engagement.

How the engagement works
We begin with your objective and the information available. Before paid work starts, we confirm the team, the documents or analysis to be delivered, fees and exclusions. We identify information you need to supply and how documents will be shared. Changes to the work are discussed before additional tasks begin.
Important limitations
Conflict checks are required before accepting related assignments for a procuring body and a bidder. No donor or government affiliation, accreditation or approved-consultant status is claimed. Tender awards, grants and project results cannot be guaranteed. Institutional project delivery, technical studies, assurance and sustainability certifications are outside this scope. Deadlines and selection requirements must be checked for each opportunity.
