Proposal Management

Our proposal management services enable you to develop requirements driven, properly organized, and effective responses. Our proposals are easy to evaluate, easy to score, and easy to award to you. We emphasize proposals that are:

• Compliant with government instructions and requirements
• Complete, providing a comprehensive and appropriate solution
• Compelling, that presents a clear, low performance risk and contract risk solution that accurately presents the bid team’s real capabilities, complete, and compelling proposals

To deliver these proposal management results, we use a variety of proven techniques including:

• Preparing bid and proposal (B&P) budgets for delivery and decision
• Analyzing the newly-released request for proposal (RFP) during the first 24-48 hours after release
• Developing a comprehensive proposal strategy including cost, schedule, performance, and resources
• Creating and delivering kick-off briefings
• Developing an integrated proposal management plan and schedule
• Developing a requirements-driven proposal outline
• Developing proposal work packages, writing templates, and storyboards
• Scheduling, preparing, and managing effective review teams (color reviews)
• Using and integrating proposal management tools and applications within the proposal processes
• Planning, executing, and managing the final proposal production process

Most or our consultants are trained in Shipley or Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) methods and have practical experience with various proposal support applications and technologies.
