  • Structured Bid Writing (Fundamentals)

HP went out to tender to find a preferred supplier for bid writing and training services.

The bid team heads, together with the procurement department, were looking for a supplier who could provide excellent bid writing and executive summary consultancy services, as well as proven experience in delivering an established bid writing training course.

The training solution: An ongoing programme of Structured Bid Writing courses

HP Services chose Writing Machine Academy as its preferred supplier for bid writing and training services following an RFP process which included demonstrating part of our Structured Bid Writing course. The training teaches all HP employees who write for bids, including bid managers and systems architects, the skills and confidence needed to effectively and efficiently communicate with their target customer.

Writing Machine Academy has to date delivered over 20 Structured Bid Writing (Fundamentals) to HP’s bid teams throughout Europe – in UK, Spain, Germany, Netherlands and Italy.
