Executive Summary

Smarter Bidding, live by end of September

Project Manager · Smarter Bidding Programme

From fragmented Excel to a single, governed bid & pipeline platform, live by end of September.

A pragmatic, 13-week delivery plan to select a modern platform (Monday.com, Salesforce or Edison365), configure it around your bid lifecycle, migrate pipeline data out of Excel, and get the Bulgaria bid team using it before month-end September. From there, a controlled rollout across the 14-country footprint.

This isn't a tool rollout. It's a change of habit for every bid team member in every country. The plan is built for an entrepreneurial, low-governance environment: fast decisions, small core team, vendor-heavy build, and adoption designed in from day one rather than bolted on at the end.
