Results Achieved
We believe that good companies deserve great contracts.
Companies hire Precise Proposals to achieve outstanding results in tenders and proposals.
With over 600 bids submitted since the company was formed in 2013, our overall win rate is better than 80%. That is more than 10 times the national average, according to research delivered to government by the Federation of Small Businesses. We even have dozens of instances where clients have achieved a 100% annual win rate with us. There are multiple instances of our clients achieving 100% quality marks in bids (virtually unheard of in tenders and proposals). Several of those clients were novices to tendering.
We handle e-tenders day and daily. Remote working is our specialty, allowing us to slot into our clients' operations with the minimum of disruption; maintaining business continuity in even difficult operating conditions.
Specialising in proposals and tenders for over 25 years, our Principal Director has seen success on submissions up to £250M in value. With his help, one company even doubled their stock value inside 24 hours when they announced a significant contract win. Another went from number 4 in their industry up to number 1 within two years.

About you
It's all about you!
You will have seen that most companies focus on telling you all about themselves: why they are the best, the cheapest, the most reliable, etc. Those are important messages. But making them the main emphasis in a professional proposal is a mistake. The document then reads as if it is all about the company and not really about the client. At Precise Proposals, we see things differently. What really matters is what your client really requires. We target our responses to match each client's different needs and aspirations. It's a different type of approach but it gives your proposal a winning edge!
Overcoming your key challenges
All organisations are under pressure to cut costs and budgets wherever they can. At the same time, they need to win more contracts and/or grants to grow. These objectives seem to be mutually exclusive. The Precise Proposals team actually helps clients to achieve both. We help you win more business AND cut your costs.

About us
Precise Proposals helps organisations win tenders and proposals by creating outstanding submission documents. We believe that good companies deserve great contracts. We help make that happen.
Our consultancy is built on a team with a 25-year track record of winning private sector and public sector contracts throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe and overseas. We've handled proposals of 10k to 250M in value. With over 600 bids submitted since the company was formed in 2013, our overall win rate is better than 82%. That is more than 10 times the national average, according to research delivered to government by the Federation of Small Businesses. We even have dozens of instances where clients have achieved a 100% annual win rate with us.
The Precise Proposals team is led by Michael Gerner, Principal Director. Other highly experienced associates are potentially available to handle proposals and tenders, again with impressive qualifications and sustaining our high win rate.
Ethics
Precise Proposals follows biblical Christian practice. That means:
We also pray about our work and we’ve seen remarkable Divine favour. As just one notable example of many: successful submision on a £250 million contract achieved in one third the normal time, where success was judged as impossible by informed managers. Such blessings glorify God, not us.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
