BidWrite and De Stefano & Co – a partnership helping clients enter, win work in, and navigate the Defence sector.

Six weeks ago, BidWrite excitedly announced our latest strategic partnership with Defence industry specialists De Stefano & Co. Together, we’re helping clients enter, navigate, and win work in the vast Defence sector.

Complementary work-winning expertise

What makes this partnership so exciting is that De Stefano & Co offers complementary expertise to ours. While BidWrite helps you develop capture plans and winning submissions for specific Defence tender opportunities, Emilio and the team at De Stefano & Co support businesses to navigate the complex Australian Defence industry environment.

They do this in several ways, including:

  • Conducting due diligence to help determine whether the Defence sector is right for your organisation and if so, developing and implementing strategies to give you the best chance of success in the industry
  • Helping your organisation meet Defence security requirements so you can compete in the sector
  • Supporting businesses to access grants and funding for purchasing new plant and equipment, upskilling your workforces, and more.

“Our two organisations are very well aligned, both putting our clients, and their results, first. I’m confident that this partnership will result in a higher success rate for all our clients already in or looking to enter the Defence industry.”

Rodger Manning, Director, Principal Consultant & Defence Lead, BidWrite

“BidWrite are really bringing that missing piece of the puzzle to the table. We support our clients in developing the strategies to break into Defence, and lifting their business and security maturity so they can compete in the sector. But we’ve never been able to support our clients with that final and crucial piece of the puzzle – actually winning the work by responding with a compelling bid. This is where BidWrite fits hand in glove.”

Emilio De Stefano, Director & Principal, De Stefano & Co

How to Win & Work in Defence

To celebrate the launch of this strategic partnership, BidWrite’s Rodger Manning and De Stefano & Co’s Emilio De Stefano joined forces in November to present a free webinar titled ‘How to Win & Work in Defence’.

The webinar was an engaging discussion about what to look out for when navigating the Defence sector, and how to prepare yourself to win more Defence tenders.

Rodger & Emilio answered a number of attendee questions about Defence tendering. They also dived more deeply into the complementary services and expertise our partnership offers to help make your organisation’s presence in the Defence sector known.

If you missed the webinar, you can download the slides here and/or watch the webinar recording on our YouTube channel or below.
