Operations Review

The proposal lead should book in an operations review (ops review) approximately one week prior to the bid submission date. The ops review includes the proposal lead, project sponsor, market sector manager and operations manager. The bid process should be as near to complete as possible as this meeting acts as a time for management to review the bid document, price and team for the project.

Running The Meeting

As the proposal lead you will be doing most of the talking running through the bid documents that have been prepared and answering any queries as they come up. There is an operations review checklist that will be completed by the project sponser during the meeting.
