An RFP writer for Canadian businesses that are done losing winnable bids
Plunkett Proposal Management provides expert RFP writing, proposal management, and bid strategy for organizations across Canada, from BC Bid and CanadaBuys to MERX, Biddingo, and municipal tender portals.
What a dedicated RFP writer changes
Most Canadian RFPs are lost before the writing starts: requirements misread, scoring criteria skimmed, Social Value sections treated as an afterthought, and subject-matter experts drafting at midnight after their real jobs. A dedicated proposal manager changes the economics of bidding. I read the RFP the way the evaluation committee will, build the compliance matrix before a word is drafted, and turn your team's expertise into responses that are easy to score and hard to ignore.
I've led proposal responses across federal, provincial, and municipal procurement since 2009. The winning bids I have managed or contributed to represent more than $150 million in awarded contract value. I work with clients in every province: British Columbia and the BC Bid landscape, Alberta and Calgary's public- and private-sector bids, Ontario and the Toronto-area MERX market, and everywhere in between. One client per bid, always. Review selected proposal results orread the BCLC staffing RFP case study.
Frequently asked questions
What does an RFP writer or proposal manager actually do?
A proposal manager owns the response process end to end: analyzing the RFP and its evaluation criteria, building the compliance matrix and schedule, coordinating your subject-matter experts, writing and editing the response, and running quality reviews before submission. You stay focused on running the business; the bid stays on track.
Do you only work with BC companies?
No. I'm based in Chilliwack, BC, and work remotely with organizations across Canada. Provincial and municipal procurement rules differ, and part of my job is knowing how an Ontario MERX posting, an Alberta purchasing portal, and a BC Bid opportunity are evaluated differently.
Which industries do you cover?
All of them. My deepest experience is in technology, staffing and recruitment, healthcare, nonprofit, and utilities and infrastructure, with recent proposal work in construction, paving, waste management, mining, and custodial services. The proposal fundamentals travel to every sector. SeeIndustries for detail.
How do engagements start?
With a free strategy call. We look at your RFP (or your pipeline), I tell you honestly whether the bid is winnable and what it would take, and you get a clear scope and estimate before anything is committed.
