Our bid support services are typically used by clients in the pre exclusivity stages of a transaction and include the following:

• Feasibility reviews – Feasibility reviews focus on a high level or limited scope of work to assist you in preparing initial or indicative offers, identifying key risk areas and determining the scope requirements of any later stage financial due diligence exercise. A feasibility review also avoids the associated costs of pursuing an unsuitable transaction, which saves senior employees time and avoids sizeable due diligence fees.
• Reviews of Vendor Due Diligence reports – Our team can objectively review a vendor due diligence report prepared in relation to a transaction to identify any significant concerns or risks which do not appear to have been adequately addressed or concluded on. Our review would also identify any areas of weakness against our expected scope of work and highlight the key items to be investigated in any potential ‘top-up’ due diligence exercise. A vendor due diligence review may also include a question and answer session with the Target Management Team if required, including our interpretation and conclusion of Management responses.
• Top up due diligence – Our team can provide top up due diligence services as an addendum to an earlier due diligence report or following our review of a vendor due diligence report prepared by another firm.
• Data room reviews – our team can conduct a data room review as part of a feasibility engagement or top up due diligence exercise. A data room review exercise may also include a question and answer session with the Target Management Team if required.
• Forecast reviews – A review of the financial forecasts of a business can be undertaken as part of a due diligence engagement or as a standalone piece of work.
