Carlsberg Group - Support from BidFirst on Complex Beverage Tender for Leading Airline in T&R. We had the privilege of working with BidFirst and Kyle on a highly complex Beverage tender for a major airline in the Travel & Retail industry, and we are impressed with the level of support and expertise that Kyle brought throughout the process. We started with a Teams meeting to ensure and to be aligned around the possibilities of our business/beverage/portfolio and the unique demands of the airline sector - we did it from a 360 perspective/model and BidFirst approach was methodical and thorough, ensuring that every detail was accounted for, no matter how complex. BidFirst’s knowledge of bid/tender process was invaluable, and they expertly navigated us through every stage. Their attention to detail, strategic insights, and proactive communication helped us address potential challenges before they became issues. Not only did they guide us in creating a competitive proposal, but they also worked closely with us to ensure that our submission was both compliant and aligned with the airline’s specific needs. What truly set BidFirst apart however, was their collaborative approach and availability for quick questions, offer solutions, and provide daily updates. They consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the tendering process in the Travel & Retail industry, which gave us the confidence that we were in capable hands and did it as a Team. Thanks to BidFirst’s expertise and tireless dedication, we were able to submit a compelling bid/tender that positioned us strongly in a very competitive field. We are incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend their services to any company looking to navigate complex tenders in the Travel & Retail sector.

Pricing varies depending on the level of support you need. End-to-end bid management is more comprehensive and therefore more expensive than standalone bid writing. To give you an idea, full management of a construction maintenance framework bid will cost in the region of £8,000–£9,500.
We always provide a no-obligation quote that includes our recommendations and pricing. If you decide not to proceed, there’s absolutely no pressure.
We may offer flexibility for larger or long-term engagements. So, we’re happy to discuss custom pricing options that reflect the scale and duration of the work involved.
