Our Coaches work with your bid leader to customise the Aurora Marketing STAR Framework, prepare your tender approach and provide leadership to the entire bid team. They facilitate key strategy workshops to extract key messages, and deliver content analysis and review sessions. They remain tenacious in challenging your team to produce a compelling and persuasive strategy, motivating them throughout the tender period to strive to produce the most exceptional submission.

Not looking for a Tender Coach but require something more than a Writer or Tender Coordinator? Our Proposal Managers are the perfect solution. They participate in the strategy and content analysis process, ensure the team are effectively using process templates, set milestones and drive plans so that each deadline is met. They keep the team on-track, implement the approvals and quality control process, and manage art production, so that the end product is 100% perfect.

Our Writers participate in the content analysis process so that the team has a detailed road map for how to answer each question. They work collaboratively with the technical team to develop the winning tender solution, and then convert the solution into compelling tender content, ensuring every question is comprehensively answered in a way that engages the reader. They weave the tender strategy and key messages throughout document, provide proofreading and editing, and finalise the document for printing.

Our specialist editors are engaged to perfect the final document to give it the best opportunity for communicating your message. The proof reader ensures there are no inconsistencies or errors in grammar, punctuation or spelling and perform the final check before it goes to print.

Our Team Data Coordinators manage all of the extremely complex and time-consuming aspects of the tender related to the project team, such as updating organisational charts; confirming roles and responsibilities; writing CVs and obtaining photographs, signatures and content approvals; cross-referencing people to projects; and getting commitment statements and confirming availability.

Our Creative Directors are our design gurus who ensure our tenders 'hit the mark' visually. They can develop consortium logos and the full tender ‘kit’ (including folders, boxes, title pages, dividers, CD labels etc). They work closely with the document construction experts to design the page layouts for the Word document, CVs and project sheets and they also design the high impact vision documents and any other value-added submission elements.

Our Graphic Designers roll out the tender materials following the visual direction set by the Creative Directors. On a large project, where there is a large portfolio of tender materials to produce, our Graphic Designers are critical to delivering the whole package affordably and efficiently. Our Graphic Designers can also work on-site to manage the large volume of graphics and diagrams for a tender.

Our resident Word experts prepare the Word templates that will be used in the tender, including the main tender documents and the CVs and project sheets. They provide basic training to the tender team so that they can efficiently use the Word templates while working on the drafts; create diagrams including organisation charts etc; format the tender document and ensure it is print-perfect. They manage the internal printing and collation process and create all other presentation materials.

Our Tender Coordinators are our master jugglers - they coordinate all aspects of the tender and liaise with the bid leader and all members of the bid team. They coordinate CVs and project sheets, artwork, printing and production of the tender ‘kit’ and any other tender deliverables. They liaise with any external suppliers eg print companies, couriers, printer hire companies etc; conduct onsite proofing and quality approval inspections for items being printed or produced for the tender and coordinate necessary resources and tools for the tender.
