Winning bids for large scale contracts can be a challenging prospect. The bid must demonstrate that the proposed approaches are solid; capabilities proven; and that results are assured; as ultimately the business will be won based on evidence that specified deadlines and business goals can be met fully. But demonstrating these proof points is almost impossible using traditional methods.

However new methods are being adopted to overcome this hurdle. Simulation software in particular can facilitate the necessary proof points, providing solid, 'scientific' data from which to build a cohesive proposition - as highlighted in the attached case study on Energy Solutions.
