36. Doing Business 36

37. Doing Business - Procurement
Proposals
Do your homework
Create strategic teaming opportunities
Understand your teams strengths and weaknesses
And your competition’s strengths and weaknesses!
Review the evaluation criteria
Check your references
What value does your team offer SBCTA?
Explain how relevant experience is relevant to this project
Review your proposal
QA/QC discussion is meaningless if proposal contains a lot of grammatical/spelling errors
Be concise 37

38. Doing Business - Procurement
Interviews
Preparation shows
Be organized
Minimize distractions
Turn off cell phones, do not chew gum, take change/keys out of pockets
Anticipate and answer the entire question
Do not pile on
Respect the time
Q&A typically worth much more important than the presentation
PM is lead but have confidence in your team to do their part
If you bring them, let them speak
Why did you pick this team? 38

39. Doing Business - Procurement
Interviews
PM is lead, show confidence in your team to do their part
Sell yourself and your team
Why are you the best qualified team for this job?
Speak to all panelists
Use your time wisely
Ask questions of procurement staff in advance of interview
Strategize how you will close your interview, closing statements resonate with panelists 39
