Winning Your Rebid

Losing contracts at rebid can have a major impact on a business: the loss of turnover and profit, of customers, skills, people and potentially reduced morale and confidence. Investment in retaining rebids can underpin significant increases in growth, at a lower cost than focussing only on chasing new business. Average retention rate of contracts at rebid is 60-70 per cent across many companies, with others retaining as little as 50 per cent, or less. However there are proven approaches that can improve any company's chances of winning. "Winning Your Rebid" will help incumbent contractors increase their chances of retaining an existing contract.
