Bid/No-Bid Analysis
Helping you choose the right opportunities to pursue.
Pursuing every tender opportunity can drain time, resources, and morale - especially when the chances of success are low. A structured Bid/No-Bid analysis helps you decide where to focus your effort for the greatest return.
At Kiwi Bid Support, we provide objective, evidence-based assessments to determine whether an opportunity is worth pursuing. Our goal is simple: help you bid smarter, not just more often.
Why a Bid/No-Bid Decision Matters
Submitting a tender is a significant investment. It requires time from senior staff, technical experts, and operational teams — all of which could be spent delivering existing work or developing new opportunities.
Without a clear decision framework, organisations often pursue tenders that:
-
Do not align with their core strengths
-
Have unrealistic requirements or timelines
-
Are highly competitive with low probability of success
-
Offer limited financial return
-
Carry significant delivery risk
A disciplined approach ensures your resources are focused on opportunities where you can genuinely win and deliver successfully.
Our Structured Assessment Process
We evaluate each opportunity against a comprehensive set of criteria tailored to your organisation and the specific tender.
This typically includes:
Strategic Fit
Does the opportunity align with your long-term business goals and capabilities?
Competitive Position
How strong is your offering compared to likely competitors?
Relationship & Market Position
Do you have relevant experience, credibility, or prior engagement with the buyer?
Capability & Capacity
Can your organisation deliver the contract successfully without overstretching resources?
Commercial Viability
Is the contract financially worthwhile once costs and risks are considered?
Risk Assessment
What operational, contractual, or reputational risks are involved?
Compliance Requirements
Can you realistically meet all mandatory conditions and evaluation criteria?
Clear, Actionable Recommendations
Following our analysis, you receive a concise recommendation supported by evidence and insight. We don’t just say “bid” or “no-bid” - we explain why.
If the recommendation is to proceed, we outline key win themes and priority areas to strengthen your submission.
If the recommendation is not to bid, we identify the barriers and suggest actions that could improve your position for future opportunities.
