It’s great to work with mates. But sitting around trying to work out how to get contracts is a lot less fun. Just because you want to work togther, doesn’t mean that potential customers will want to throw work at you. Shame, isn’t it?
The more professional approach to building consortia is to be as objective as a customer would be in finding people for contracts. If a customer is prepared to take bids from consortia (public authorities are usually obliged to do so), then they will be looking for a number of factors. These factors will include such things as aggregated turnover and insurance cover; spread of skills; combined experience; management and constitutional structure; existence of policies and statutory qualifications.
Stablebridge brings two major advantages to help you to locate and select appropriate partners for consortium bidding and delivery: We know what customers are looking for, because we have advised so many of them in their selection processes; we have the selection process experience to help you choose between them.
