I am involved in the bids process from the analysis of requirements to the presentation of formal tender proposals. This has included meeting or speaking to the end client, the resourcing of partner companies, the identification of risks and proposals for mitigating the risks, identification of roles and responsibilities, the production of Clarification questions, the production of tender documentation, the production documentation for implementation and pre-worked test plans.
