Announcement: Pan-European Partnership with Bid Solutions
Bid Solutions, the world’s leading specialist bid recruitment provider, and CSK Management, a premier global authority in bid management consulting and certification, are proud to announce a new pan-European training partnership. This collaboration unites two industry powerhouses to deliver a comprehensive suite of professional bid training courses designed to increase win rates and professionalize the bidding industry across Europe.
Uniting Industry Strengths
The partnership leverages the unique synergies between both organizations. Bid Solutions brings 25 years of experience as a "one-stop shop" for winning, offering an unmatched network of bid professionals and a deep understanding of the recruitment and resourcing challenges faced by modern bid teams.
CSK Management, led by global authority Christopher S. Kälin, provides world-class methodological expertise and the highly acclaimed BidMaster™ Training and Certification learning framework. Together, they offer a powerful combination of practical, hands-on experience and advanced, internationally recognized certification standards.
Comprehensive Course Summary
As part of this partnership, two flagship training programs will be delivered to professionals across the continent:
- Bidding Masterclass ‘BidMaster™’: The most advanced and comprehensive training and certification curriculum in the bid space. It provides a structured methodology covering the entire proposal lifecycle—from RFP analysis and qualification to document production and final presentation. Participants gain practical tools to manage bids more efficiently and can earn the Certified BidMaster™ Badge.
- Bid Writing Training – ‘Storyline Workshop’: This course focuses on transforming customer needs into a logical "message tree" to develop a strong proposal strategy. It teaches participants how to formulate key messages that resonate with evaluators, ensuring responses are easy to follow and highly persuasive. The workshop also prepares attendees for the APMP Bid and Proposal Writing Micro Certification.
A Shared Vision for Excellence
"Our mission has always been to provide our clients with superior access to the best talent and training in the market" said Martin Smith, Managing Director of Bid Solutions. "Partnering with CSK Management allows us to offer our clients the gold standard in bid methodologies and training, ensuring their teams are equipped with the skills needed to win more work more often"

Our combined expertise ensures that whether a team is in London, Frankfurt, or Milan, they have access to the highest quality training and certification available today".
