Can you create a customised training program tailored to staff in our organisation?
Yes, we have designed and delivered many bespoke tendering capability training courses for companies, not-for-profits and industry associations. On request, and typically for teams of 8 or more, we can develop customised, specialised, in-house workshops to suit your organisation’s specific needs. For more information please visit the Bid Academy specialised in-house workshops page.

How does the ROI pricing work for Transform plans?
Simply put, our ROI pricing model for Transform plans is based on a percentage of anticipated tendering revenue gains, calculated using a bespoke set of before and after bidding metrics. This ensures we are both in it to win it.
Why are Transform plans only available by invitation?
This type of plan won’t suit every organisation. It requires a genuine and ongoing commitment from you, and us. Because of this, we want to ensure a good fit so that your investment in the program delivers the results we know it can.
How can Secure and Transform clients both have first right of refusal?
Secure and Transform plans meet different needs. Due to the intensive nature of our Transform program, we only work with a small and select number of Transform clients at any given time. This coupled with active client portfolio management guarantees no first right of refusal clashes between Secure and Transform clients.
Why are Secure plans limited in number?
To avoid conflicts of interest, we don’t support multiple clients competing for the same tender. Because each industry has its own market structure, we agree the geographical and goods and services scope with Secure plan clients in advance. This limits the number of Secure plans available, with agreements reached on first-come, first-served basis.
I’m an existing client. Can I just call you when I need you, without having to commit to one of your engagement plans?
You don’t have to commit to a long-term engagement plan. But by not doing so, you risk us not being able to support you when needed. Other organisations, including your competitors, may have already made an ongoing commitment to use our services and secured the first right of refusal.
I’ve never used external bidding support before. How do I test drive your services without committing to an engagement plan?
We actively encourage all new clients to use our services once or twice before committing to a plan. Whether that’s through bid support consulting or a tender training course, those initial experiences will leave you better placed to make a longer-term decision.
What is the maximum number of attendees for each course?
APMP training workshops (Foundation and Practitioner levels) are capped at 20 attendees per course. Maximum numbers for our own offerings vary by course. Class sizes are carefully chosen to provide flexibility when grouping for practical learning activities and also ensure that participants don’t get lost in the crowd.
