Enhance bid quality through industry best practice
Bid best practice, as defined by key industry organisations like the APMP and leading bid advisors and trainers, can help you increase competitiveness and achieve winning results. Concurrence provides unique tools that help you comply with industry best practices and maximise the value of your competitive messages.
You can create a comprehensive, auditable record of all bid-related information and activities from day one with Concurrence Chrysalis.
The process of building a successful bid is long and complex. As a result, compliance with industry best practice can be a vital tool for increasing control and achieving success. But how can you ensure that your own bids comply? How can you draw on past positive experiences to optimise current and future propositions? And how can you look beneath the surface of deliverables to identify where underlying process improvements can be made?
Concurrence gives you unprecedented visibility of your entire bid development and delivery process, helping you align your own activities with your customer’s requirements. Concurrence makes this possible, creating a comprehensive, auditable record of all bid-related information and activities from day one.
Integrating best practice methodology into your processes can significantly increase your chance of winning. However, it can be difficult to maintain best practice when timescales are tight and the pressure is mounting. The Concurrence toolset addresses this problem directly by enabling you to access the latest version of information at the click of a mouse - so you and your team can make the best decisions quickly and efficiently.

Because Concurrence enables you to align your key competitive messages with customer requirements from day one, you can create a “hymn sheet” that is constantly updated throughout the process. This ensures that all members of the bid team understand your competitive position from the earliest days of planning right through to final delivery, helping them to deliver and justify key messages in the most compelling way possible.
What’s more, Concurrence provides guidelines for bid development that are fully-compliant with quoted best practice. This ensures that you can capture, use and present information in a way that is fully compliant to maximise your competitive advantage.
Concurrence won a BAE Systems “Chairman’s Award” for helping the organisation ensure best practice across its bid processes and deliverables. In its review of the Concurrence award nomination, BAE Systems stated that: ‘The use of Concurrence has already saved Naval Ships valuable time in bid preparation and sub-contractor responses and will continue to do so in the future.’
