Bid Manager · Select Engagements

Hand us
the bid.
We run all of it.

Some bids you cannot afford to lose. When the contract is a must-win, software is not enough — you want experienced people on it, and you are willing to pay for them. That is the only kind of engagement we take now. Nine years, thousands of bids, $500M+ won, pointed at the few we take on. Engagements start at $10,000.

The Formula

Human-driven. AI-enhanced.
Because winning takes both.

0Years·0+Bids·0%Compliant

AI accelerates the work — drafting, compliance mapping, requirement extraction. We’d be slower without it.

But every person on our team has years of proposal experience across multiple industries. They’ve actually won bids — not just written them. They know procurement, evaluation criteria, and how to position your strengths because they’ve done it hundreds of times.

AI can’t answer your questions at 9 PM the night before submission. A real person on our team will.

What humans bring
📞
A name on every bid

One consultant owns your engagement. They pick up the phone — before, during, and after submission.

✍️
Human authorship + sign-off

Every output is written, edited, and approved by a person. AI assists. Humans answer for the result.

🧠
A 9-year track record

Thousands of compliant bids submitted for hundreds of clients. We wouldn’t still be here if we weren’t good at it.

⚖️
Real accountability

When something needs judgment — strategy, risk, escalation — a human calls it. AI can’t.

🪞
We've sat on both sides of the table

We don’t just write bids — we’ve also run procurement for state agencies, nonprofits, and institutions. Your response gets written with real insight into what evaluators actually score.

AI can draft a proposal in four minutes. It can’t answer your phone call at 9 PM the night before submission.

Who It’s For

We don’t take every bid.

01
🎯
It is a must-win

Losing this one actually hurts. You want the most experienced people you can get on it, and you are prepared to pay for them.

02
🏛️
Federal, state, or heavily regulated

Multi-volume, deep compliance, the kind of solicitation where one miss disqualifies you outright.

03
🧠
You want judgment, not just hands

Whether to bid at all, how to position against the incumbent, what the evaluator is really asking for. We advise as much as we write — often the advice is what wins it.

🍌 Most bids don’t need us

And that’s the point.

The hardest part of bidding was never the writing — it was finding an opportunity worth the effort. That is a software problem, and we solved it. Bid Banana searches 1.6 million+ government and private bid pages across all 50 states, reads the documents, and tells you which ones fit. Start there. If a bid turns out to be big enough to hand over, you know where to find us.

Common Questions

What clients ask before signing.

01What's your win rate?
+
We don't quote one. Win rates are notoriously unreliable in this industry — they depend entirely on which bids you count, and there's no standard. We'd rather you judge us by what's verifiable: our compliance record (100%), our case studies (real names, real numbers), and what our clients say after their first bid. If a consultancy quotes you a precise win rate, ask them to show their math. Most can't.
02Who actually writes my proposal?
+
An experienced proposal writer drafts your response — someone who has actually won bids, not just written them. AI helps structure and accelerate; the writer's voice, strategy, and judgment own the output. A second consultant reviews and signs off before submission. Every output is human-authored and human-approved. AI assists; humans answer for the result.
03How long does a Bid Manager engagement take?
+
Most multi-section bids complete in 2–4 weeks from kickoff. Single-volume bids: 1–2 weeks. Complex bids: 4–8+ weeks depending on volume. The single biggest factor is how early you see the opportunity — which is what a saved search is for.
04What if I need revisions or have feedback?
+
Every engagement includes revision rounds. You review every draft, give feedback, and approve before submission. Revisions within your estimated scope don't increase your cost — and if scope grows, you approve the new estimate before we continue.
05Do you guarantee a win?
+
No, and beware anyone who does. Wins depend on factors outside our control — your pricing, your past performance, evaluator preferences. We guarantee a fully compliant, professionally written, on-time submission that gives you your best possible shot. That's what we control.
06What happens if I don't win?
+
We debrief. You get the procurement officer's feedback (when available), our internal post-mortem, and a content library of approved responses you can reuse on future bids. Many clients who don't win their first bid with us win their second or third.

Think your bid is one of the few?

Send us the solicitation. We’ll read it and tell you honestly whether it is worth pursuing — sometimes the answer is no. If we take it on, we scope the work and quote it in writing first. Engagements start at $10,000.
