Challenge
The Downer Group employs more than 50,000 people and is one of Australia’s most successful and progressive companies. So winning tenders isn’t just desired, it’s expected.

Solution
We initially embedded a writer into the Downer team and began designing a suite of Word documents, folders, slip cases and tab dividers. We oversaw the production process, edited content and wrote a powerful executive summary that described exactly why Downer should be awarded the tender. Since then we have run strategy workshops to build win themes with the bid teams on several occaisions to empower them to deliver winning proposals.
Tenders we worked on (include but not limited to):
- Project Energy Connect Transmission Line
- N2NS
- Canberra Light Rail
Results
We’ve worked with Downer for over 8 years, assisting with strategy workshops, executive summaries, developing win themes, graphic design and submission documents. With the key elements of their bid library now established and easy to use templates in place, we’ve since supported them with strategic bid project kick offs to support the bid team, and continue to provide support with infographics, CVs, case studies and executive summaries.
