Project acquisition

Winning assignments in international cooperation requires more than well-written proposals. It requires a precise understanding of donor priorities, evaluation criteria, and the thematic landscape in which a call sits. Our team has contributed to more than 100 successful proposals for international cooperation and development assignments, with a particular focus on programmes supported by the European Union. We bring that track record and institutional knowledge to every mandate we take on.

Proposal development

We work with clients to develop proposals that are technically rigorous, strategically positioned, and tailored to the specific requirements of each call. Our approach draws on a detailed reading of evaluation criteria and donor expectations, combined with substantive expertise in the thematic areas where our clients compete. We do not treat proposal writing as a standalone exercise; we treat it as the first stage of project delivery.

Consortium building

The composition of a consortium is often as important as the quality of the proposal itself. We help clients identify and engage partners whose expertise, geographic presence, and institutional profile strengthen the overall bid. Our focus is on building teams that are credible on paper and functional in practice.

Expert identification and contracting

Proposed team composition is a critical evaluation criterion in most public procurement procedures. We support clients in identifying experts whose profiles precisely match the technical requirements of the assignment, negotiating terms, and managing the contracting process. Our thematic depth in trade, climate action, energy, and critical raw materials means we understand not just the procedural requirements but what genuine expertise in these areas looks like.
