Project Description

Relevancy

We supported a global technology firm in bidding for a £9 million resource augmentation contract under the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework, targeting the Department for Education (DfE). The bid was highly competitive, with over 15 suppliers contending.


🧩 Challenge

The client needed to rapidly mobilise a high-quality, compliant bid that clearly demonstrated value, capability, and delivery assurance—while navigating the complexity of CCS framework requirements and differentiation in a crowded supplier field. The bid was already one week into the live bid stage. With no prior context, we set-up the team and started working on the responses.


🔧 Solution

We led the entire bid process, including:

  • Bid strategy and narrative development

  • Overseeing and writing x2 responses

  • Collaborative reviews and quality assurance of all content

  • Aligning the solution narrative with DfE’s resource augmentation requirements


📈 Result

  • Achieved a final score of 85%

  • Positioned the client among the top scorers in the competition.

🌍 Impact

Our leadership and content delivery directly contributed to securing a significant strategic opportunity for the client within the public sector digital transformation and public facing apps space, enhancing their visibility and credibility with central government buyers.
