Hobs Bid Training

Supporting your bids with excellence, quality delivery and a personal service.

Hobs are proud to launch our training and team improvement programme.

Training is an imperative part of a bid team’s development, but it can be costly. Understanding that every bid team is different, we ensure that our client’s investment is worthwhile.

Our new training programme incorporates the experience of our team and is designed to be tailored to our client’s individual needs.  

To maximise the time we have with participants, our bespoke packages are engaging, interactive and clearly explain how to undertake each activity and apply it during a live bid scenario.

Importantly, we explain why each step is required, and how it will help them deliver their best – ensuring learning is fully embraced and embedded.

Whether attending our two-day bid bootcamp, or one of our focussed task orientated programmes, your team will have the opportunity to enhance their skillset and understanding of current trends and best practice. No matter the topic, our focus is always to help your organisation develop the highest quality responses and win more business.

How it works

Our team of bid professionals understand the pressures of creating credible, winning responses to tight timescales. Their in-depth knowledge and experience running bid departments and teams enables them to quickly assess what your organisation needs.

Our team will work with you to understand your process, tools and internal capabilities. They then review your previous submissions to gauge what could have been done better. Using the outputs of this benchmarking, we then tailor our training modules to the needs of YOUR team and organisation.

Additionally, our team can also use this activity to help you improve your process and approach. If you want to ensure your bid process is fit for purpose, why not reach out to us to see how we can help. Click on the calendar button below to get in touch.

Bid training programmes

  • Writing

    Compelling and clear writing can make the difference between a loss and a win. Our bid writing courses will enable your team to articulate your messaging in a consistent and engaging way.

  • CVs

    Whilst every bid asks for CVs, they are often an afterthought. Our team will guide you through when to use boilerplate, how to craft compelling content, and how to interview people to get the answers you need.

  • Bid Management

    A solid bid plan provides a roadmap for effective management and risk mitigation during live bids. During this training, we run through all aspects of bid management, preparing your team to create the best possible response, even when timescales are tight. Importantly, we also discuss the critical success factors needed for effective bid management.

  • Presentations

    When you are down-selected for interview, the evaluation then focuses on your people and how they articulate your messaging. Our experienced trainers will provide your team with effective ways to prepare for interviews, enabling them to articulate your solution / product in a compelling and persuasive way.

  • Effective Reviewing

    Reviews help to challenge thinking and elevate responses, but they are often not given the time or focus required. Our Effective Reviewing module will help your team understand how to evaluate responses and support writers in answering the question.
