25% of GLJ’s support has been with Bid Teams, 75% with the Client Team.  This means that while we have an excellent understanding of supporting bids, we have an even better understanding of Client requirements and competitors’ strengths and weaknesses.  This knowledge has proved critical on a number of tenders where we have supported the Bid Team.  Our success rate on bid support is better than 1 in 2.
