We don't win the bid, you do, but we can give your bid the best chance by getting to know you and understanding your business.
Onboarding involves getting to know your strengths, identifying potential weaknesses and sharing where there is room for improvement.
Knowing how best to support you, we can deploy effectively to help you to achieve your work-winning goals.
Crafting a winning bid is a team effort.
Our bid writers are experienced in drawing out the very best; from you, your colleagues, and your Subject Matter Experts (SME's), creating the response that gives you the best possible chance of success.
We can lead the whole bid process or we can support your in-house bid lead.
Giving you what you need to succeed
Decades of success in winning contracts have taught us what it takes to win a bid.
We bring those hard-won skills, knowledge and experience to work for you.
And, we'll be straight with you, we don't just work for a fee, job done and move on. We work to build a relationship, and that involves trust, and honesty.
We know what works and what doesn't and we won't waste your time or money chasing rainbows.
Bids can be like buses; none for ages, then three come along at once.
Nothing is more frustrating than having to choose which one of three perfectly winnable opportunities to pursue, because of a short-term lack of capacity in the bid writing function.
Engaging Maxim for bid support can bridge that gap, and relieve pressure on your in-house team.
We can also help if your need for expert bid support is more periodic or occasional. Help when you need it, no overheads to bear when you don't!
