What’s inside

The interview is where the people behind the bid have to back it up

The written bid may get you to interview, but the panel still needs confidence in the people, the thinking and the delivery behind it. This guide helps your team prepare for the tender interview questions and moments that count, well beyond the slides.

01 What the panel needs to believe

Identify the confidence gaps and concerns that could influence the panel’s view of your team.

02 What you want them to remember

Agree the few messages that should still be clear after the meeting ends.

03 Why each person is in the room

Give every presenter a clear purpose, useful evidence and something relevant to demonstrate.

04 The questions that matter

Prepare for the obvious questions and the ones the team would rather not be asked.

05 Pressure and the unexpected

Help the team stay joined-up when timings change, assumptions are challenged or something goes wrong.

Use it before the invitation lands

Find the gaps in your bid interview preparation early

The guide gives you a simple way to check how ready the team really is, then turn any weak spots into useful preparation before the pressure is on.

Designed to use in a team meeting, during bid preparation or at the start of interview prep.
01 15-minute team readiness exercise

A quick way to surface confidence gaps, difficult questions and the areas the team needs to work on next.

02 Interview-readiness check

Look across client understanding, team roles, evidence and rehearsal without turning preparation into a giant exercise.
