Our superpower toolkit

Bids & tenders.

Exceptional ideas and creative excellence for those must win RfPs.

Strategic Design Meets Irresistible Storytelling

Whether it be a document, PPT, PDF or Microsite, we combine beautiful visuals, a clear structure and engaging messaging, to help bid managers and directors secure results that stand out, resonate, and win.

Taking a strategic approach to your bids and tenders means you can enter the race meaningfully. We’ll help you position your brand, align your win themes, collect client intelligence, and help you to engage early on in the bidding journey. This way, you can maximise your win rates.

Making sure your bid or tender stands out is how you win the big contracts over your competitors. We create engaging bid content but also review and challenge your direction, edit materials from your subject experts, and oversee the process until submission.

With 20 years of experience in Bid Design, we've worked with global brands hundreds of bids, helping them to win billions (£) in revenue. We understand the impact design can have on your win rate, and we know how to engage an audience and deliver innovation in every response.

If you're still using PDF or PPT to deliver your bids then you're already behind your competitors. Leveraging digital transformation in bids is the key to engaging your prospects. A bid microsite has the potential to transform your win-rate, deliver innovation and save you time and money.

Capturing and holding your prospects' attention in a competitive environment is more challenging than ever. We specialise in making you stand out and get you noticed by the right people. Utilising the latest technologies, we craft experiential pitches that leave a lasting impression.

Our bids & tenders process

01 Plan

Using the Shipley colour review process as the backbone to our planning, we develop the brief, scope and timelines for the bid lifecyle. This will include regular stakeholder reviews.

02 Discover

We conduct research and collect client intelligence, as well as prepare the messaging, win themes and value proposition, tailored for the prospect.

03 Design

Using the research findings, we develop a visual tone of voice alongside copywriting content for the proposal. We ensure we are telling the story in a way that will capture the attention of your prospect.

04 Create

We design and create all of the materials needed for submission. We will use the four colour review stages; blue, pink, red and gold, to work through every aspect in detail, to support a winning mindset.

05 Deliver

Delivering a bid or tender late means losing the contract, so we ensure we work to very tight deadlines and you get to submit a proposal that will win your business more work.
