Background

About Marcus Ong

With more than 17 years of experience in bid and proposal management, I am a certified APMP (CP APMP) bid professional who has led successful bid pursuits across the APAC region. I have extensive knowledge of the entire bid lifecycle from bid qualification and capture to proposal planning and development- Gap In The Industry - Through my years in the industry, I have seen numerous SMEs foregoing the opportunity to bid for government/pubic sector tenders due to a lack of know-how, capabilities, or understanding of navigating the government tender process. Despite RFPs (Request for Proposals) being the gateway to securing public sector contracts, there is a lack of training and expert support available locally to help SMEs in winning RFPs. SMEs and startups often have to navigate the tendering landscape through arduous trial-and-error, repeated attempts, and steep learning curves- Why Pitchmaker- Pitchmaker was founded with the goal of filling these gaps with our proposal and bid management services and training. At Pitchmaker, we help SMEs and startups overcome their barriers in bidding, increase their proposal efficiency and maximise their tender evaluation score to win the tender. We can’t claim it is easy, but it is achievable with a structured and scalable process for repeatable tendering. Let's connect if you're curious to know how we can work together to improve your win rate!
