360 Team Assessment

Impartial, inclusive and insightful. Assess your bidding capability and act together.

Why:

Making change happen, together

Our 360 Team Assessment helps bid shapers that want to collaboratively identify and improve low performing areas in their bidding capability but are struggling to do so, objectively and logistically.

By facilitating an impartial, inclusive and insightful assessment* of their total bidding capability, everyone is clear on the actions required for optimisation and inspired to implement them together.

*Powered by BSI PAS 360:2023 and its technical authors.

WHAT:

Inclusive insights

The 360 Team Assessment is the perfect choice if you want to include your team in the assessment of your bidding maturity.

We facilitate a team workshop that allows everyone to share their perspectives in a group forum. We use an interactive app to record individual assessments against the five pillars of PAS 360, with results dynamically presented for group discussion. This helps to quickly form a team consensus and provide an opportunity to discuss trends or outliers.

The output from the workshop is a bespoke report that’s responsive to the team discussion, letting you see at a glance the priority focus areas and recommendations for acting on them.

Results:

  • An impartial ‘cold pair of eyes’ delivering bias-free independent insight
  • Inclusive and holistic, involving the whole team, driving buy-in and a culture of collaborative problem sharing
  • A bespoke roadmap crafted to your situation enabling better bidding outcomes

360 Change Programme

Time to (but not ‘for’) change? Calling all bid opportunists and troubleshooters.

Why:

The 360 Change Programme helps bid opportunists and troubleshooters who want to transform their bidding capability but need independent change expertise by their side for faster results. We help you make change through a structured programme* of discovery, design, and delivery.

Bidding capabilities built to realise any and every opportunity? Problem(s) solved!

*Powered by BSI PAS 360:2023 and its technical authors

What:

Discover. Design. Deliver

Using our 360 Change Programme process, we dig deep into your current bidding maturity relative to the five pillars in PAS 360:2023. Knowing how big the gap is and what your priorities are lets us transform your bidding operations to deliver sustainably better results.

Discover

We assess your current ‘as-is’ bidding maturity to identify problems that are holding you back and opportunities to improve efficiency and results. The output is a comprehensive observations report and maturity benchmark that informs the design phase.

Design

Using the results from discovery, we work with you to craft a bespoke operating model for your future ‘to-be’ bidding capability based on your priorities, company culture, and budget. The output from this phase is a target operating model design and costed implementation plan that we can delivery for you, or that you can deliver by yourself.

Deliver

We work with you to deliver the change identified in the design phase by flexibly dovetailing with your day-to-day bidding operations. You focus on the day job and we’ll focus on making change.

Once the change is implemented, your bidding maturity can be re-assessed to measure improvement against the original benchmark, letting you report the quantified improvement.

Results:

  • Establish an independent baseline of your current bidding capability and quickly identify priority improvement actions
  • Implement the insights from discovery or build a capability from scratch
  • Devise and integrate methods and habits for the achievement of progress

Putting North on the map
“We invited BidCraft to support us with a major Higher Education bid in early 2024, the first time we have used them.  Since then, they have gone on to provide extensive training to the team and carried out a business wide assessment against the new BSI bid code of practice PAS 360.  This left us with a clear plan which has formed the basis of major investment in our people and processes.  Their work has been instrumental in helping us develop a blue print for future development that is opening up new growth prospects particulalry amongst Public Sector customers.  What started off as a request for help has resulted in the beginnings of a major transformation for our business that has enhanced skills amongst our colleagues who now approach new bids with a renewed sense of confidence and optimism.  Thank you BidCraft.”
Andrew Foster, Managing Director – Public Services, North
Growth enablement

“As a rapidly growing company we recognised the need to scale our bidding capability to support the business’s growth plans. We engaged BidCraft to benchmark us against PAS 360 and provide a roadmap for how we’d need to change. In parallel, they stepped-up quickly to help with our G-Cloud 14 submission – providing coaching, public sector bidding advice, and independent reviewing. This proved to be an invaluable part of the diagnostics, as they rolled their sleeves up and got to see things first hand. Their report was highly insightful and has already made a difference to how we bid. We’ll be working with them again and consider them to be part of the team.”

Kate Daniels, Public Services Practice Lead, esynergy
Building capabilities

“BidCraft became an integral part of our team, building awareness of the importance of capture and the processes to support it. Again and again, BidCraft works to explain and illustrate the concepts, overcome resistance, go back to foundations, work flexibly and sensitively with complex and challenging stakeholders, and help land an understanding of capture. BidCraft broke ground for us in the capture space. They helped create the foundation we needed to establish a dedicated in-house capture team that will serve our emerging markets and major clients.”

Emily Claire Poupart, Clients and Business Development Lead | UKIMEA, Arup
Diagnostics done right

“What a professional and insightful piece of work you have provided through both the questioning and elicitation of content from our very enthusiastic team through to your structured observations and recommendations… your content provides new insight, detail and an alternative perspective that has really added substance to not only the ‘intuition’ that we needed to do something but help signpost the way.”
