Why should you be bidding on consultancy projects tenders?

Looking to bid on consultancy projects tenders but need to know how it will help you and your business? Worry not, we are here to help. We’ve put together a guide that explains the benefits of working on consultancy projects.

What is a consultancy project?

A consultancy project is when an individual or organisation offers consultancy services for a particular project. This could be a challenge or issue the organisation is facing. Or it could be an idea you create that contributes to a company’s future success. For example, a company may need consultancy services if they want to launch a new scheme but need advice.

It’s an opportunity for you to think outside the box and offer a solution or idea to the buyer. The step-by-step process includes:

• Strategic planning
• Organising your team
• Conduct research and requesting resources
• Submit a project report and presentation with your conclusions.

The benefits of consultancy projects

Let’s look at how consultancy projects can benefit you:

Enhance your critical thinking

When offering services to consultancy projects you will gain a better understanding of issues and challenges within that industry. You will learn to examine those issues and challenges with a critical mindset.

 Develop your strategic approach

Strategy is an important factor when delivering consultancy services. You will need to devise innovative strategies to help a business meet its end goal. Some strategic areas you may focus on include:

• Key performance indicators
• Conducting market analysis
• Reviewing new developments.

Collaborating with others

Consultancy projects may require you to work with other consultants which will strengthen your teamwork and collaboration skills. This will prove to be a crucial skill when bidding on contracts in the future. It will demonstrate to a buyer you work well in a team.

Making connections

Securing a bid for a consultancy project is a great way to make further connections. Work hard and get good results and you may find more opportunities come your way. It’s always handy to make some good contacts as they may have some projects they need you to work on. Make yourself known so they know you’re the best for the job.

 Gains you confidence

When securing a contract, you will be filled with confidence that a buyer chose you over competitors. They chose you for a reason, so have confidence in what you do and show off your capabilities.

Top tips

Here are our top tips to remember when bidding for contracts:

• Always provide evidence – the buyer will expect to see at least 2-3 case studies of similar contracts you’ve worked on. Be sure they are relevant to the contract at hand.
• Answer the question in full – don’t leave answers half answered or blank. Make sure you have considered all points to the question. Meet the word count.
• Create added value – show the buyer what you can bring to the table that your competitors can’t.
• Manage your time – it’s a long process so set plenty of time aside. Be aware of when your deadlines are and set a schedule to work to. Don’t fall behind.
• Proofread – don’t forget to check your work multiple times. Triple check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors before submitting the bid.
