Submit a strong proposal
Strong proposals can only be prepared if the supplier has been involved from the early stage of the procurement process. Chances for success are even stronger if the supplier has advised the client as a partner. Only in this way the specifications can be known in advance and the implied and the explicit needs of the client can be identified.
Larger companies have to adhere to their procurement rules while private sector companies are more frequently open to negotiated deals.
Manage expectations two ways
During the final negotiation stage all contractual conditions have toe be agreed upon. Which conditions are "showstoppers" and which conditions are "nice to have". We can consult on best international practices and can provide legal council support if needed.
