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.
Design
When preparing our presentations we look at more than the content, and create the entire presentation working with your brand strategies. Kim is an invaluable member of the Bidable team!
Kim is a Graphic Designer who studied graphic design and print management in Devon, England. At 19, she was a finalist in the London Print Week awards, giving her the foundation for a career that spans over 25 years in design and print.
Her vast experience and extensive customer service skills give clients security in her ability to follow projects through efficiently.
She has an eye for detail and knows what works and does not in design. Kim is certified in Graphic Design & Pre-press and Customer Service and has a Diploma in Print Management.
Administration
Behind every amazing organisation is a great admin professional and Jackie brings an extensive range of office, and admin skills to our Bidable Team.
When she is not taking her kids to every sports games in the Wellington region, she is the power house for helping Rachel submit her presentations and tenders and keeps the wheels of industry flowing along. Jackie started her work career in the deep South, but has worked internationally over the years and has now settled in the Wellington Region (or until NZ Defence finds another fascinating position for her husband)
The beauty of working remotely we can utlise Jackie's skills no matter where in the world she is based!
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.

Phil Goodwin | General Manager - Propositions and Bids
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!

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.
