Bid capacity

Bid capacity planning for SMEs that cannot chase every tender.

The question is not only whether a tender fits. It is whether your team has the writing, review, pricing and evidence capacity to respond well.

Capacity checks before accepting a bid.

Writer hours

How many focused hours are actually available before submission?

Reviewer slots

Can technical, commercial and leadership reviewers commit before final upload?

Evidence owners

Are case studies, policies, CVs and pricing assumptions owned now?

Opportunity trade-off

Would this displace a higher-fit or higher-margin tender?

Simple SME rule.

If the team cannot name the writer, solution owner, commercial owner and final reviewer in the first 10 minutes, the bid is not ready to start.
