Why Early Advisory is the Difference Between Tendering and Winning

Sep 9, 2025

In major infrastructure and development projects, tendering is no longer just about ticking the boxes. Clients, funders, and government agencies expect sharp strategy, strong project management, compelling messaging, and complete alignment across all fronts.

At LANDY, we’ve seen the difference early advisory makes – not just in preparing bids, but in winning them.

Here’s why bringing in the right advisory team early changes the game.

It starts with the story – and the strategy

Most bids fail not because of price, but because they don’t tell a clear story.

Who is delivering this? Why are they the right team? How does this benefit the client, the community, and the broader strategic agenda?

LANDY helps our clients develop bid strategies that align commercial, operational, and stakeholder goals. We craft messaging that stands out – not just stylistically, but substantively.

From key win theme workshops to compelling executive summaries, we ensure your strengths come across clearly, consistently, and credibly.

We build your bid from the ground up – not at the last minute

With LANDY’s advisory team involved early, we help you:

  • Identify key win themes that will set your bid apart
  • Think outside the box to provide real solutions to clients’ identified risks
  • Create and coordinate strategic relationships to strengthen your team offering
  • Identify and sell your unique differentiators and ensure consistent messaging throughout your response

This isn’t just “bid writing.” It’s strategic project shaping – and it gives you an edge long before the RFP lands.

Marketing and communications matter more than ever

In today’s market, how you communicate your capability is just as important as the capability itself.

We work with clients to:

  • Develop compelling capability statements and project sheets
  • Build brand-aligned marketing collateral
  • Create content that supports your major bids and enhances your digital presence
  • Tailor messaging for government, private, and investor audiences

Because winning work is about being seen, heard, and remembered – especially when you’re up against big players.

Integration is everything

What sets LANDY apart is how we pull it all together – seamlessly.

We bridge the gap between:

  • Project management and commercial strategy
  • Technical methodology and public messaging
  • Bid compliance and bid creativity

That means less confusion, tighter coordination, and a sharper, more cohesive final bid.

Winning major bids isn’t about being the biggest – it’s about being the smartest

LANDY’s experience across Tier 1, government, and private sectors gives us the inside track on what clients and funding bodies are really looking for.

We know what decision-makers want to see – and how to deliver it with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
