MATTE ADVISORY GROUP / BID WORKFLOW ESTIMATE

What could a more efficient bid workflow be worth?

Build a simple estimate from your tender volume, preparation time, labor cost, and assumed annual bid-assistant cost. Your inputs control every result.

Your assumptions

Start with your numbers

USD estimate

All fields are editable. The initial values are sample placeholders, including the 20% time-reduction assumption and $3,600 annual cost.

Tenders prepared per year

Your estimated annual bid volume.

Preparation hours per tender today

The average team time spent on one bid, in hours.

Assumed preparation time reduction

Your estimate of the share of preparation time that could be reduced.

Blended labor cost per hour

Your loaded team cost per hour, including the roles involved.

Assumed annual bid-assistant cost

Sample placeholder only. Matte Advisory Group pricing was not supplied.

No inputs leave your browser. This calculator does not save or submit your assumptions.

Estimate, not a forecast

Your modeled value

Assumption-based

Potential hours returned per year

153.6 hours

Based on your tender volume, preparation time, and assumed reduction.

Estimated value of that time

$6,144

Potential hours returned × your blended hourly labor cost.

Estimated net value after assumed cost

$2,544

Estimated labor value − your assumed annual bid-assistant cost.

Illustrative first-year ROI

70.7%

(Estimated net value ÷ assumed annual cost) × 100.

The arithmetic

See how each estimate is built

Tenders × hours per tender × assumed reduction: 24 × 32 × 20% = 153.6 hrs
Potential hours × hourly labor cost: 153.6 × $40 = $6,144
Estimated labor value − assumed annual cost: $6,144 − $3,600 = $2,544
Estimated net value ÷ assumed annual cost × 100: $2,544 ÷ $3,600 × 100 = 70.7%

Estimate limits

Estimate only. The starting values are sample assumptions, not measured Matte Advisory Group results or published pricing. Replace them with your own inputs. This model treats time potentially returned as available labor value; actual cash savings depend on how your team uses that capacity. It does not model bid quality, eligibility, or tender outcomes. Inputs are calculated in your browser and are not sent or stored.
