We used the consulting services of TIGL (in particular Frank Aldridge) to help with preparing our All of Government (AoG) RFP response. Frank provided a fresh perspective, especially in our Executive Summary Section. This resulted in our selection as a Panel Vendor to the Government Sector.
The Integral Group played an invaluable role in helping us work through an All of Government tender process. Their advice and guidance, based on many years experience within the Government sector, played an important role in our being successfully appointed to the panel of suppliers. Many thanks to Frank and the TIGL team.
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the work you have done for ToTal Harbour City Guards Limited to date. I find you very professional in your approach to what you do, and I have really appreciated your ability to understand our business environment really quickly. I have found your work ethic second to none and the presentation of the work you have done for us has been exemplary. I look forward to working with you again soon.
I recently worked with Frank Aldridge, The Integral Group Limited to write tender documents for a significant government tender. I found Frank and his team to be exceptionally well prepared, totally dedicated to the task at hand and willing to go the extra mile to meet the tight timeframes. Frank’s experience in the preparation of tender documents, responses and the assessment of tender applications was apparent. We were able to cut through the government speak and get straight to the important stuff. I was 100% satisfied with the service from Frank.
Frank and The Integral Group recently worked with Boost to respond to a lengthy Request for Proposal for a large government department. With Frank's support we were able to identify our key strengths and ensure that these strengths were evident throughout our response. Some of his more practical advice on formatting made our response a lot clearer and enabled us to provide a proposal that was easy to digest whilst still showing the breadth of our services. We'd recommend Frank and The Integral Group’s services to anyone who wants to improve on their responses to crucial RFPs.
We used the training services of TIGL (in particular Frank Aldridge as the Facilitator) to help us better understand the tender (RFP) process. Frank provided an "easy to follow practical tips and traps session" covering the various parameters of the tender process. This resulted in a better understanding of "the do’s and don'ts" in relation to tenders.
All good. Thank you
The workshop provided clarity about the tendering process and taught me I need to work hard to get into the head of my potential clients to have better success tendering.
Frank delivers complex information in a fun and inclusive way that is highly engaging and thought provoking
Having attended one of the Integral Group’s workshops on responding to RFPs, we had no hesitation in engaging Frank to assist us bid for a strategic piece of work that we very much wanted to win. We thought we knew what we were doing, and to a certain extent we did. However Frank’s advice, critique and guidance was invaluable in notching our response up a level. We were delighted to make the shortlist, which was our aim.
Excellent techniques, DOSAC, scrum board

Having a personalised training session meant we were successful in our RFP. I was able to learn and understand how RFPs are assessed, and the importance of the scoring criteria. While responding in such a non-emotional way was a challenge, it meant I was able to structure my response to focus on being very specific with my answers - giving us a much better chance.
