Client needs

Our approach
Madrigal Communications uses a systematic approach to tender responses. We analysed the RFT document and recommended that a high level of detail was required to complete the bid. Compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) was a fundamental requirement of the tender response. Madrigal assembled and cross-referenced a comprehensive set of safety policies and procedures to unequivocally show that all compliance requirements were met.
We also formatted the documentation and assembled the electronic form for submission. We also assisted in the costings and resourcing estimates.
Outcome
We produced a comprehensive tender response that was a competitive price and demonstrated compliance with all requirements, especially the extensive work health and safety specifications.
The proposal was successful with the internal client winning the job.
