Introduction
Bidding is a competitive process since only one person is picked from the many bidders to
supply goods and services. A consistent action plan is therefore critical to ensure a competitive
position in the bidding process. Based on the evaluation criteria, it is important for a bid strategy
to be developed in line with the key customer evaluation requirements. Unexpected risks also have
to be mitigated through risks management processes to ensure that the risks don’t prevent the
success of the bid.
