Be the boss Any successful project relies on a certain set of criteria being executed at the right time, in sequence and sometimes in parallel if there are tasks which must be run simultaneously.
When bid writing, it is the Bid Manager's role to oversea the whole process.
This includes getting the right people to do the job.
Assigning appropriately skilled people to different tasks is vital to getting a project completed on time, within budget and to a high quality.
Don't even consider taking on a project if you cannot find the right members of staff to be team members and work efficiently and effectively to complete the bid document.
The tendering process is difficult enough without having any complications such as poorly trained staff or not enough properly experienced individuals working on the bid writing project.
This is where Bid Managers come in.
There main role is to oversee a project.
Therefore, it is vitally important that they plan ahead so that the bid project is completed on schedule with no major problems.
Get in charge of the situation Don't leave anything to chance.
I would always advise any bid manager to take control at every available opportunity.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be too stern in order to get the job done but you can't be a pushover with team members either.
Every step of the process needs to be planned meticulously and each stage must be prepared for.
Dependent tasks will be delayed if tasks that come before them are not completed on time so any problems must be resolved immediately.
If it is possible to build slack into the project then this is fantastic and will provide the Bid Manager with a contingency in case anything goes wrong.
Take no prisoners Bid Managers tend to be leaders and organisation.
They are capable of project management as well as having an excellent attention to detail.
Don't forget that a Bid Manager's job is to make sure that a project is not only finished to a very high standard but it is also their role to ensure that the project finishes on schedule and within budget.
So Bid Managers must do what it takes to make sure the project is delivered within satisfactory parameters.
No stone must be left unturned and nothing must be left to chance.
Getting the job done is very important.
Great bid writing takes time and effort.
Experience will tell a good project manager what needs to be done to make a project successful.
