Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, as early as possible. Early involvement allows us to help review the opportunity, identify key cost and commercial risks, develop the estimating approach and establish the information required from suppliers and operational teams. We can also step into an existing bid at any stage where additional estimating or commercial support is needed.

We specialise in facilities management and service-based contracts, including cleaning, maintenance, waste, grounds, pest control and broader integrated FM opportunities. We can support individual service packages through to large, complex multi-service tenders.

Yes. We can review existing estimating methods, pricing models, benchmarks and governance processes to identify opportunities for improvement. This can include developing reusable estimating tools, cost libraries, productivity benchmarks and review processes that make future bids faster, more consistent and easier to defend.

Winning isn't simply about submitting the lowest price. We help clients understand what an opportunity should cost, where the major risks and opportunities sit, and how pricing aligns with the proposed solution. This provides greater confidence when deciding what to bid, how to price it and where to be competitive—helping focus effort on opportunities that are commercially sustainable and worth winning.

Yes. Confidentiality is fundamental to our work. We regularly work with commercially sensitive tender, pricing and operational information and can operate under client confidentiality agreements or NDAs where required.
