We believe direct answers before contracting save concerns after contracting. These are the most common questions from our clients โ and our complete answers, without embellishment.
On average between 45 and 90 days, depending on the firm's current readiness. Phase one (diagnosis) takes 14 days, followed by 30 days for full preparation (profile, ISO, website, system), then we begin actual tender participation. Some clients have won within 60 days; others required 120. Honestly: there is no time guarantee โ every firm starts differently.
No one can guarantee a specific tender win โ and any party that claims to is not being honest. What we actually guarantee: a technical qualification rate above 90%, and overall win rates of 50โ70% in year one. We work with clear KPIs documented in the contract and provide quarterly reports with numbers.
Three protection layers: (1) a legally binding NDA before any review, (2) fully separated teams between competing clients in the same geographic zone, (3) encrypted private storage with strict access control. Our policy: we don't accept direct competitors in the same region, even if it costs us a deal. No leak incident has occurred in the firm's history.
Three contract models: (1) flat fees for standalone services starting at SAR 12,000 (such as ISO issuance or company profile), (2) monthly retainer for continuous packages (SAR 25,000/month for the strategic package), (3) a hybrid model with base fees + percentage on contracts won. We choose the most appropriate model with you in the free first consultation.
Yes โ we have dedicated programs for emerging grade-4 and grade-5 firms. We help them progressively transition to higher classifications and win mid-size tenders that match their capabilities. The biggest benefit for small firms is building governance systems correctly from the start, before chaos accumulates.
Three core differences: (1) exclusive specialization in the Saudi contracting sector โ we don't serve multiple sectors, (2) a systemic methodology rather than scattered services โ every service feeds the others, (3) accountability for results โ measurable KPIs in the contract. Many firms sell "consulting hours"; we sell documented outcomes.
85% of work happens remotely with high efficiency through our project management platforms. 15% requires on-site presence (major strategic meetings, ISO audits, contract negotiation meetings) and these visits are scheduled in advance. We have a permanent team in Riyadh for urgent on-the-ground follow-up.
Through partnerships with internationally accredited certification bodies (UKAS / ANAB) and ready quality manual templates customized to firm specifics. Critically: our certificates are not paper compliance โ we actually establish the system and train the team to apply it, otherwise the firm won't survive periodic surveillance audits. Certificates are recognized by all Saudi government entities.
Yes. Our contracts include fair termination clauses for both parties: 30 days' notice for monthly retainers, and quarterly review of contract objectives. If the agreed KPIs are not achieved after 6 months, the client can terminate without additional fees. We believe client retention should be a choice, not a constraint.
We serve the contracting sector across all regions of Saudi Arabia (the primary client base), in addition to Egypt, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. Our deepest expertise is the Saudi market, and our teams specialize specifically in Saudi government systems.
Training is core to our philosophy โ our goal is building the firm's internal capabilities, not keeping them dependent on us. We offer intensive training programs in: tender management, strategic pricing, technical proposal writing, Primavera P6 usage, and governance systems. Training is available on-site and remotely, with accreditation certificates.
Depends on the service package and the firm's capacity. In the strategic package, we analyze 20โ35 opportunities monthly and actually submit on 5โ10 (those matching the client's strengths). Our philosophy: focusing on tenders likely to be won produces a higher success rate than spraying tenders blindly.
Every losing tender is a learning opportunity. We conduct post-mortem analysis: studying the award decision, the winner, the gap points, and applicable lessons. We provide a monthly report aggregating these analyses and continuously refining the firm's strategy. Losses โ when honestly analyzed โ are a bigger fuel for improvement than wins.
