Background

FES FM is a leading facilities management company with a strong track record of both attracting new business and retaining existing customers via the competitive tendering process. Their internal bid team has consistently demonstrated success in securing contracts via both public and private procurement, contributing significantly to the company’s growth, whilst also retaining key, strategic clients

The Problem

The key challenge for FES FM was consistently delivering high-quality bid submissions during periods of reduced internal capacity. With a small, focused bid team, and the arrival of key, strategic tenders coinciding with annual leave periods there was significant concerns on being able to resource targeted tenders to the required standards. The risk of missed deadlines or lower-quality submissions due to stretched resources was a significant concern. FES FM needed a competent, reliable and experienced external resource that could quickly mobilise to support their team during these critical times.

The Solution

FES FM partnered with Wordsmith in 2022 to address this challenge. Over the past two years, Wordsmith has provided flexible, high-quality bid writing support to FES FM. Wordsmith's ability to quickly integrate with the internal team and understand the specific needs and nuances of FES FM business has been critical to this partnership's success.

Implementation

Rapid Mobilisation: Wordsmith demonstrated the ability to mobilise at short notice, stepping in to provide support whenever FES FM faced capacity challenges. 

Integration with FES FM Team: Wordsmith invested time in understanding business, operations, and specific requirements to effectively mirror the internal team's approach, ensuring consistency in the quality and tone of bid submissions.

Benefits

  • Increased Capacity: With Wordsmith’s support, FES FM was able to manage multiple bids simultaneously without compromising on quality, even when internal resources were stretched.

    Seamless Integration: Wordsmith’s ability to embed itself within the FES FM team ensured that the external support felt like a natural extension of the internal bid team, maintaining consistency and alignment with the company’s goals and values.

    Financial Impact: As a result of the successful bids, FES FM secured significant new business, further solidifying their position in the market.
