Small Bid Teams: Helping Everyone Find What They Need, When They Need It

If you’re part of a small bid team, you’re probably all too familiar with this scenario: the clock is ticking, and someone from the tech team or a subject matter expert comes knocking (again), asking for that one piece of content they vaguely remember using six months ago. They don’t know the title, can’t find it themselves, and don’t have the time to look.

So, guess who they turn to? You.

For small bid teams, this happens every day. You’re not just writing and managing bids; you’re the unofficial search-and-rescue squad for your organisation’s content. And the kicker? You’ve probably got a content library that only you understand – a digital maze of folders, filenames, and files that are impossible to navigate for anyone else.

It’s exhausting, time-consuming, and pulls you away from what you actually want to do: writing winning bids. That’s where Virtual Bid Team (VBT) comes in.

Making Your Library Accessible to Everyone

With Virtual Bid Team, you don’t just store content – you make it universally accessible to your team, no matter their role or familiarity with the bid process.

Here’s how it works:

  1. The End of “Gatekeeping”: You upload your existing documents, and VBT uses our proprietary technology to automatically index your library. Instead of having to remember where content is stored (or even what it’s called), anyone can simply search for what they need.
  2. Search by Meaning, Not Exact Words: Whether it’s a project overview, a boilerplate response, or that one case study with great technical detail, VBT finds content that means the same thing as the search query – even if the exact wording doesn’t match.
  3. Stop Being the Middleman: Your subject matter experts and wider teams can search the library themselves, freeing up your time to focus on what matters most.

Small Team, Big Impact
