Infrastructure
Be it by sea, by air, by track or by road, we know the ins and outs of transport tenders.
Keeping communities moving
Since our first rolling stock tender over 15 years ago, we’ve worked on a range of transport tenders, from SMEs to megaprojects with some of Australia’s best-known companies. We know the challenges, complexities and nuances of transport tenders, and can deliver winning transport tenders for clients of all sizes.
Transport’s unique complexities
Technical jargon
With so many engineering specialties under one roof, a transport bid is always at risk of being overloaded by techno babble and TLAs (“three letter acronyms”). The bid team needs Olympic-level linguistic dexterity to synthesise, translate and communicate complex information to ensure it’s accessible to all without losing its potency.
Impassioned communities
Transport projects have a way of impassioning their communities which can put a blazing spotlight on transport bids. Bid teams need to know how to engage appropriately with the community, understand the potential political fallout of a decision and stack the bid with powerful stakeholder messages.
Emphasis on non-price criteria
More than in many other sectors, transport projects need to achieve multiple objectives. Evaluators are seeking smart solutions that improve safety, drive whole-of-life value, deliver community outcomes, and achieve sustainability targets. Bid teams need to be able to foster excellence across all criteria.
That’s us. We’re your Olympic-level bid team. Our clients keep coming back because we keep winning.
