Tender
and Bid Support
Winning the Business
From authoring a single section to the management, coordination, writing and submission of an entire response, producing high-quality winning bids is Tim McLean Consulting's core business. From pre-tender research through EOI and RFT phases, negotiations and contract close, clients benefit from a uniquely integrated end-to-end service, with solutions translating seamlessly into sound, sustainable and profitable contracts.
Risk Assessment/
Management
Managing Risk
Effective risk treatment underpins any successful business endeavour, so Tim McLean Consulting maintains risk management as a core competency. Whether as part of a bid, during a transition or mobilisation, or in operational delivery, clients may be assured that risks are being effectively controlled. Comprehensive hazard identification coupled with experiential and data-driven assessments delivers risk registers proven time and again to predict and mitigate risk accurately.
Transition/Mobilisation Support
Starting Up
Clients increasingly seek a provider's credentials to transition or mobilise the service or infrastructure as a key evaluation metric. Tim McLean Consulting provides the capacity and capability to manage this key project risk, whether as an add-on to the bid or as a separate project. Comprehensive planning integrates with proven governance structures, insightful risk registers and bespoke documentation to ensure your project starts as planned.
Compliance/Performance Management
Achieving Compliance
Whether identifying risks in complex performance regimes or designing systems to monitor, meet and report on them, Tim McLean Consulting can help. Working closely with SMEs and your operational and compliance teams, high performance becomes business-as-usual. In situations where things have gone awry, effective remediation strategies ensure a rapid and sustainable return to compliance.
Complementary Operations
On the Ground
Tim McLean Consulting benefits from a wide range of complementary operational experiences. These include senior leadership roles, transitions and mobilisation team memberships, and support to operational and contract risk and compliance functions. Such opportunities are sought not only to contribute to the particular role but also for the added value the experience lends to future bid submissions and other service offerings.
