Curriculum vitae
Curriculum vitae winning template
The curriculum vitae is one of the most important part of a tender. Remember that most buyers will assume that you know how to deliver the service or product they’re tendering for. They will be particularly concerned that the resources you are assigning to the project are right for the project. Being right for the project means that they are knowledgeable, experienced in delivering for similar clients to the buyer and importantly, that they are ‘likeable’ and that they’ll be able to work with them. Ultimately the success or failure of any project comes down to the people involved so here’s where you convince them that you’ll make it happen.
| <INSERT A PICTURE OF THE PERSON> <Full Name> <Project Role> | The first part is a short biography (100-150 words) which summarises the persons suitability for the project based on their prior experience and expertise. Highlight any key achievements, significant clients or project outcomes, awards or recognition received. The goal is to establish the credentials of the proposed resource. Example: Tony has over 25 years-experience in senior consulting, pre-sales and procurement roles. He has worked with private and public sector businesses in local and global roles with a strong focus on technology based solution. He has supported leading procurement projects for public sector organisations including Westminster Wireless City, Tusla, Citizens Information Board, Marine Institute and multiple Departments of Health, Education and Communications around the world. Tony is Founder and CEO of Orbidal, a SaaS that provides end to-end support to businesses competing for opportunities globally. He has participated in over 5,000 tender competitions since 2014 and is a prominent advocate for SMEs who compete for public contracts. |

The information provided here should be relevant. Buyers are looking for demonstrable evidence of experience and expertise. A good way of achieving that is to compile a list of headings under which you will write a short narrative. The headings can be chosen from the award criteria or from the particular requirements of each project role. You may be constrained in terms of space, but as a start try and create 3x examples of your expertise under each heading. Each example should follow the format of Context, Challenge/Opportunity, What you did that was impactful, What was the outcome/benefit to the Client. Example: Proposal Evaluation & Debrief Tony devised proposal evaluation strategies and managed the delivery of the evaluation for a variety of domestic government bodies including the Marine Institute, Tusla and the Department of Education (Values €60,000-€3m). These projects required Tony to lead the evaluation teams, putting in place processes compliant with EU Directives (including Remedies) together with Circular 10/10 and 10/14 amongst others. He devised evaluation scheme enabling complex technical submissions for high value project to be evaluated in a standardized, unbiased fashion that allowed the buyers to confidently select a preferred bidder and successfully conclude the process. Tony supported debriefing sessions for each of these and answered follow on queries from unsuccessful bidders. No outcomes to date have been challenged following award. Project Management Tony led a team of seven software developers responsible for delivery of the backend database as part of the world’s first internet bank. This project was very high profile with significant risk of reputational damage for IBM and ten of the largest banks in the US. Tony’s team successfully delivered the system on time and to budget, while overcoming the challenges of working across three time zones and managing multiple stakeholders. When compiling examples try to vary the content in each so that you are not simply repeating the same set of characteristics but just changing the client names. Don’t be shy about calling you particular achievements such as risk minimisation, cost savings, awards received, etc. |
