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.
What online platform do you use to deliver training?

This enables us to utilise functionality such as screen sharing, breakout rooms, reactions and polls. We also use a learning management system (LMS) called LearnDash to power our comprehensive training programs – Bid Accelerator and Certified Bid Writer. After […]
Is all of Bid Academy’s training conducted online?
Although we’ve delivered hundreds of in-person workshops in the past, we currently deliver all our public tender training courses online. This makes them accessible to participants in any location or working environment that has access to a reasonable internet connection. Added benefits of online delivery are the broader perspectives and networking created through a greater […]
What types of audience are your training courses designed for?
Our Bid Academy offers a training course option for everyone, from beginners to seasoned bidding professionals. Our training caters to two broad audiences – those for whom bidding is a full-time profession, and those who hold other roles but have connections or responsibilities to the bidding activities of their organisations, e.g. sales people, senior managers, […]
