By knowing what is important to the client you are assured a proposal that is uniquely written to meet the client's needs. Pre-RFI/RFP/RFA Monitoring - To guarantee that you have the maximum amount of time to work on your proposal, we work with the procurement officers in your targeted states so you will know when the RFI/RFP/RFA will be released and if any unique requirements are included. Pre-RFI/RFP/RFA Relationships - To ensure the highest quality, winning proposal we develop relationships with the State officials and procurement officers prior to the RFI/RFP/RFA release. We understand who the potential evaluators are and how to write a proposal to meet their unique needs.
Post- RFI/RFP/RFA Response
Preparation of Oral Presentations
For many proposals it is required that the bidder present a summary of their proposal for a panel of specialists. We have the experience and expertise to prepare those presentations in the required media, generally PowerPoint, and brief the presenters to guarantee a first-rate presentation.
Questions that Require Clarification
We will work with the State to develop any required clarifications to questions in the proposal to ensure your responses are consistent with the original proposal.
Proposal Compliance Matrix
To ensure that your compliance department is familiar with all the requirements for reporting and tracking as relayed in your proposal, we prepare a Proposal Compliance Matrix that shows all the requirements of the RFP/RFA along with your departments that are responsible for meeting those requirements. The Proposal Compliance Matrix is prepared in an Access Database, which makes it easy for you to generate reports and make necessary changes.
RFI/RFP/RFA Release
RFI/RFP/RFA Analysis and Outline
The outline forms the basis for the table of contents, serves as a proposal management tool, and helps writers see their task as it relates to the entire proposal. Through the analysis and outline, we make sure that your proposal meets all of the requirements of the RFI, RFP or RFA.
Attendance at Bidder's Conferences
