"A winning bid is more than a well-written response. It’s about understanding the client, uncovering what makes a business different, and turning that knowledge into a clear, compelling story that gives the evaluator confidence to choose you.”
Pamina brings a strong combination of commercial, strategic, and practical business experience to the bid and tendering environment. Her career has encompassed marketing and management, business operations, and bid writing, giving her a broad understanding of the commercial drivers behind winning and delivering work.
Her journey into bid writing evolved from her wider business experience and her ability to bring structure to complex information, ask the right questions and turn ideas, technical information, and subject matter expertise into clear, compelling documentation.
During her time with Higgins, Pamina worked as a Bid Writer across competitive tenders, including major infrastructure and construction opportunities. She worked closely with project teams and subject matter experts to develop submissions, coordinate information, manage bid requirements and clearly articulate capability, experience, methodology and value.
Pamina particularly enjoys the challenge of taking complex information and finding the story within it. For her, a successful bid is not simply about answering the questions; it is about understanding what the client is looking for, identifying what differentiates the organisation and presenting that information in a way that builds confidence with the evaluator.
With a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Management, an MBA from Auckland University of Technology, and formal training in Powerful Proposal Writing through Shipley Associates, Pamina combines business and strategic thinking with practical bid-writing experience.
