The Challenge
20-person management consultancy. Brilliant reputation, zero procurement experience. Major bank transformation RFP - their dream project. Competition: Deloitte, PwC, McKinsey. They'd never written a formal tender. Their PowerPoints were world-class, but procurement wanted 40 specific questions answered within strict word limits.
Our Approach
£1,500 fixed fee for end-to-end support. We translated their consulting excellence into procurement language. Case studies restructured using STAR methodology. Methodologies mapped to the bank's transformation framework. Risk registers built. Pricing tables created. Our financial services specialist ensured every regulatory requirement was addressed. Seven days from kick-off to submission.
The Result
Highest technical score of all bidders: 94/100. Won on quality despite being 15% more expensive than Big 4 competitors. Client feedback: "Most compelling methodology we've seen." The win transformed their business - hired 8 people, opened London office. Now on our £4K/month retainer winning 3 in 4 bids.
"We knew we were better than the Big 4 for this project, but couldn't prove it on paper. Bidgen translated our expertise into a winning bid. That £1,500 investment returned £2.4M. Best ROI we've ever achieved."
