Bid Like You Mean It
Mission. Ethos. Culture
Less talk. More action.
Our mission is to demystify the art of winning business by sharing knowledge, being responsive, and taking pride in our craft. We find this mindset leads to trusted relationships with clients who enjoy working with us.
Based in the UK and Australia, we are known for consistently punching above our weight. We can back this up, too. As the instigator and technical author of BSI PAS 360:2023 – the only international code of practice for bid and proposal management – we have literally set the standard for bidding, whether you’re an SME or a multinational.
We are also an approved training organisation (with globally available training) for the industry association (APMP – association of proposal management professionals), and we launched the International Day for Bids and Proposals on 29th September every year. #Septender
Our ethos
As a team of bidding artisans our ethos is to make a sustainable contribution to your business growth. We see bidding as an art form. It’s about blending a mix of ingredients into something crafted, tailored, and amazing.
Our culture
We are a company with a social conscience. Kindness, empathy and sharing are fundamental characteristics that not only feel good, but they make a big impact on the people we work with.

Our contribution
Supporting trusted climate projects
We care about doing the right thing, so we’re proud to work with Ecologi to help fund carbon offset projects and responsible tree planting around the world. We’re offsetting our carbon emissions and becoming a carbon positive workforce by growing the BidCraft company forest.
Every time someone becomes a Crafter, we enrol them into Ecologi, which funds climate solutions around the world. And whenever someone buys one of our APMP certification courses, we fund even more tree planting.
If you want to sign up, then use this link and Ecologi will plant an extra 30 trees as a thank you.
Contributing to society
The voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector does amazing work to help people and communities who need extra support. That’s why we’ve partnered with whatimpact who match companies like BidCraft to local social value initiatives to make a difference.
We volunteer our time and expertise to train VCSEs on the art of grant writing and we also review grant applications, helping to guide you in the right direction and secure precious funding.
If you’re a VCSE who would like to apply for our voluntary support, then sign-up to whatimpact and they’ll do the rest.

What’s it like being a Crafter?
If you’ve ever dreamed of being part of something that does things differently, then that’s what it feels like.
Crafters innovate, test themselves, learn new skills, and never settle.
It’s hard work and everyone puts a shift in, but the rewards are amazing. We treat people as professional adults who don’t need micro-managing. In fact, we want people with a diversity of experience and thought who keep us on our toes. Echo chambers are a dangerous thing.
We innovate because we’re curious and want to deliver better outcomes for our clients.
If something doesn’t exist, create it. If something doesn’t work, fix it. If something works, share it.
How do I join the crew?
We’re always looking for quality crew — whether that’s as a permanent Crafter or as a partner company.
