Welcome to our February Newsletter

This month, we include an update on the UK Government Green Paper and consultation on Transforming Public Procurement, which AM Bid will be responding to. The Green Paper sets out some significant proposed changes for public sector bidding and tendering, which make for very interesting reading. Find out more about how the changes will impact you - and how to participate in the consultation - in the article below.

As many of you know, we are very proud of our 80%+ Bid Success rate here at AM Bid, so I’m also delighted to announce that this success rate is now independently audited, underpinning our commitment to both quality and accountability through the bid process.  

You can read more on this below, as well as articles on how a marketing plan can help you win more bids, along with some tips on laying the foundations of a winning bid.

I hope you enjoy the newsletter and please do let us know if there are any specific topics or issues you would like us to cover in future editions.

Best wishes,

How Can a Marketing Plan Help You Win Bids?
