Client Successes

Here are some examples of the successes we have achieved with contractors, consultants and specialists in the UK construction and facilities management sectors:


  • Two regional quantity surveying and project management consultancies have a 100% record of winning places on 17 lucrative framework agreements with key public-sector clients in the housing sector.
  • A regional start-up building contractor secured a place on a 4-year framework agreement for a local council, finishing in first place on 14 lots, and is now turning over £3M a year.
  • A medium sized multi-service consultancy has a 100% success rate with tenders submitted and has secured places on 4 of the biggest framework agreements in the UK in the defence, diplomatic, university and ports sectors, worth over £40M in fees over the next 4 years.
  • A specialist systems contractor secured a large highly prestigious hotel project in London which has elevated them to a new level in their sector.
  • A regional civil engineering contractor won a large project with a client in the nuclear sector that they had been struggling to win work with for years.
  • An interior fit-out contractor landed a place on an NHS framework contract and within a few months secured a large fit-out project.
  • A specialist technical consultancy won a 3-year support contract with an international car manufacturer, which they have renewed three times, securing work for 25% of their team.
  • A specialist electrical contractor has won 3 out of 3 framework contracts with national clients in the power sector.
  • A family-run maintenance contractor in London has won 3 framework agreements with London Borough councils and housing associations, securing 50% of their turnover over the last 4 years.
  • A regional contractor has won two schools and a leisure centre for a local council in the last 2 years. 


In all the above cases, my clients were the underdogs, competing against some of the largest and most successful companies in their sector and winning against the odds.

How do I do it?

With over 40 years of experience in the construction industry, including 30 years at Director Level, I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge and experience in bidding for work as a contractor and as a consultant, learning what works and what doesn’t.


Believe me, I have learnt the hard way and picked up some valuable lessons along the way. My back has been against the wall at times and winning a key contract was vital to the business.


I have also worked on the other side of the fence as a lead consultant for public sector clients, procuring the services of consultants, architects, surveyors, contractors, facilities managers, project managers and specialist contractors.


I have seen the very best examples of pre-qualification and tender submissions and the very worst and have the insider secrets from client evaluation panels on the things you must do to maximise your score.

Testimonial

We have been working with David Harrison from Win That Contract for several months and he has been advising us on how to grow our business, helping to shape our business strategy and develop our business plan. 


A key part of our growth plan was to secure a place on a 4-year Framework Agreement, with a local council, with an estimated annual spend of £7.5 million. David coached us on how to position ourselves to win this framework and how to collect performance data and testimonials which we could use in our tender submissions. 


When the tender finally came out, we were extremely well prepared, and it was natural that we employed David’s services to help us on the tender submission. David quickly provided a plan on how to move things forward. He spent two days in our office and created a draft outline for each of the questions and collated the information required for the submission. He then crafted a fantastic submission, finishing it early and in budget.


David’s writing has proven to be outstanding, scoring us full marks (100%) on the 15 lots tendered for, well clear of our competitors with the second highest score being 80% we believe. David also advised on pricing strategy for each of the lots and was instrumental in encouraging us to go into a joint venture for the larger value lots, which proved to be a master stroke. He also wrote the quality submission and project management method statements for the three larger lots, all of which we won.


As a result, we have been awarded a place on the framework for all 15 lots tendered for, finishing in first place in 14 out of the 15 lots which puts us in pole position to secure the majority of the spend on the framework and will potentially significantly improve our sales and profits over the next 4 years and hopefully help us to achieve our ambitious business plan targets ahead of schedule.


David’s knowledge of the industry is impressive and his desire to see his clients be successful in tenders is sincere and it shows through in his work.

 

Thank you, David.


Kind regards,

Luke Baker, Managing Director
