Who is Rachel?
Rachel specialises in managing small to large multimillion tenders for small businesses to large corporations in New Zealand and overseas for any industry. She can manage, write and help you with your bid strategy and refine or implement the best bid process for your business based on the Association for Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) best practices.
She has extensive experience in every aspect of the bid process, from bid strategy through bid management and bid writing.
Depending on your needs, Rachel can come in and manage the entire bid process for you, devising your bid strategy, coordinating all bid team members, all the way through the process, or she can step in and simply help coordinate the process in collaboration with your in-house bid manager.
Having an expert bid manager come in to take your bid from concept to delivery increases your chances of success greatly, and few are as experienced and knowledgeable as Rachel.
Based on the beautiful Kapiti Coast with her family, Rachel is available for bid tendering services throughout New Zealand. On her weekends and free time, she loves to spend time with her family, riding their bikes and getting involved in their local community.
Procurement Specialist
Rachel teams up with Jo on many government tenders. Rachel manages the process and writes the proposal before Jo reviews it from a fresh eyes perspective, scoring the response to give you time to make amendments before you submit your final response.
About Jo:
Jo is a procurement professional with over thirteen years of procurement experience in Aotearoa / New Zealand government agencies. Before that, she spent six years in a UK IT company as part of their sales team, running the bid response process. This gives her an intimate knowledge of government procurement from both the buyer and supplier side, where the challenges lie and where suppliers miss the opportunity to present themselves at their best.
Her passion is levelling the playing field for small and medium businesses, helping them to navigate and understand the complexities of the government procurement process. She provides pre-planning and preparation support, helping you get ready for the response. Then, when you have a bid request to respond to, she helps with: understanding the requirements and what is being asked for; planning and time management; and reviews your documents, running a critical eye over your response to ensure it gives you the best chance of success.
If you want a friendly guide and an experienced navigator to get you through your response, then get in touch with Jo.

Why Choose Bidable?
Hardworking, supportive and smart is how I would describe my time working with Rachel. Rachel always kept the large virtual team well informed. We all knew exactly what we had to do, and by when. Attending the many regular stand-up meetings necessary for large bids was a pleasure. She somehow managed to keep them short and to the point, while at the same time informative and relevant, as we all worked through the various stages of the RFP’s.
Rachel also introduced us to some very practical bid management processes, which we still use today, and convinced senior management to invest in a bid management tool. Her dedication and valuable experience ensured all the RFP responses we submitted, were always of a very high standard, and submitted in good time, both internally, for proper executive review, and to the customer ultimately. We often receive compliments on the quality and completeness of our RFP responses.

Mills Albert Limited
Why Choose Bidable?
Rachel assisted us with a bid that changed direction, deliverables, and due date midway through, however, her measured approach meant that our action plan needed only minor refinements. Rachel dovetailed into our work, and she was able to provide great clarity and insights into writing a response that answered the questions at hand. We would definitely recommend Rachel but be quick as we may have asked her to assist us again first!

Why Choose Bidable?
I have recently had the opportunity to work with Rachel Adams from Bidable. Rachel was instrumental in helping us prepare and execute an important presentation and proposal for a number of our clients. I was extremely impressed by her professionalism. Rachel was able to give invaluable advice on how to collate and structure a polished and professional tender document.
Rachel guided us on how to prioritise information so that we had a clear and concise message throughout our tender and she kept us on track with her projected timeline, whilst giving us lots of helpful advice on practising our delivery before presenting in front of our clients. Rachel managed all of this as well as making the experience fun and interactive. I would highly recommend Rachel if you are looking for someone to help you deliver a bid that is of the highest quality.
