When you’re looking for guidance, you need someone you can trust your deal and your reputation with
Bidding standards
PAS 360
Want to consistently win more deals with less drama?
PAS 360:2023 is the new international standard that organisations can use to increase the quality of bid and proposal management activities and lower the risks of contract delivery.
Instigated and authored by BidCraft, we have unique insights into the standard and how organisations can implement and benefit from its guidance.
What are the benefits?
PAS 360’s recommendations can produce higher scoring proposals that increase the likelihood you’ll win more and higher value contracts, at the same time as building your brand and reputation.
It also contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure.
- It can guide you on things like improving bid efficiency and productivity. On how to optimise resource allocation and identify new business areas to pursue.
- It can increase the speed you’re able to put proposals together at the same time as raising their quality.
- It can help you pursue more strategic opportunities and improve collaboration with partners and suppliers.
- It can lower the risk you’ll invest too many resources in a bid, only for it to go nowhere.
- And it can reduce your risk of securing a contract only to find it’s not deliverable.
Who can benefit from the standard?
The standard will benefit businesses regardless of type, location, size, maturity, or market. This can be SMEs who are scaling to grow, mergers and acquisitions looking to standardise processes, or established companies seeking assurance.
It also benefits those responsible for business acquisition, including the C-suite seeking a better return from its bidding investment, heads of bidding functions who want to implement bid excellence, and business development professionals who want improved proposal quality and win rates.

FAQs

Do you work on an incentivised basis?
We can, but we prefer not to. We always go all-in, so we don’t need an extra ‘incentive’. All we need is a thank-you — and a glowing testimonial is always appreciated.
However, if that’s how you prefer to roll, then we’ll always make sure our people delivering the work get a share of the reward.
What’s it like working with BidCraft?
Someone once called us ‘quirky’! We loved that because we think we’re different to everyone else, too. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we’re competitive as hell, which makes for an interesting dynamic.
We’re also proud of the fact that we’re not beholden to anyone. No investors, NEDs — only ourselves. This means when something awesome comes along that needs a different approach we can take it on. And if something doesn’t feel right for us, we can just say, “no”. This lets us focus on enjoying our craft and delivering great service.
Ultimately, we never take anything for granted and approach every engagement as though your future depends on it.
So, what’s it like working with us? There’s only one way to find out…
