“I am really struggling to put a credible programme together in five days. I copy the closest past job, change the dates, and hope the panel doesn’t ask me to defend the logic. They usually do.”
What it feels like today
- Tender programmes are built by copying a past job and editing dates. The logic is whatever the past job had.
- When the panel asks ‘why is this in front of that?’, the answer is ‘that’s how we did it last time’.
- Win rate suffers when the programme reads as a Gantt rather than as a plan.
What CosmosPM does for this role
- Programme-from-documents: feed the tender, NEC4 or method statement in, get a defensible logic skeleton out.
- Workshop facilitation that builds a credible programme in days, not weeks — with the reasoning attached.
- An independent logic-health review you can attach to the submission, evidencing defensibility.
How we engage
- Workshop: 3 to 5-day bid-programme sprint. Your bid team, our facilitation, defensible logic out the other end.
- Audit: independent logic-health review of a bid programme before submission.
- Tool: LogicReader — see logicreader.io.
