From stuck — to moving forward
Common "stuck" states when entering public asset business, and the "moving" states that follow consultation.
Challenge
Difficulty reading RFP requirements
Park-PFI and Small Concession RFPs use specialized terminology. It's hard to know what to focus on and what to prepare.
After consulting
RFP structure becomes clear — you know what to focus on and what to prepare. "Can't understand the document" is resolved.
Challenge
Uncertain about proposal structure
Without understanding municipal evaluation criteria, it's difficult to position your company's strengths effectively.
After consulting
Proposal structure aligned to evaluation criteria, with your company's strengths clearly positioned. "Don't know what to write" is resolved.
Challenge
Can't bid with zero PFI experience
Major consultancies dominate the market. Local SMEs can't even bid because they lack PFI track record and SPC formation know-how.
After consulting
With team assembly, risk allocation, and joint proposal drafting complete, you can bid as lead entity — even with zero PFI experience.
Challenge
Delayed access to project information
Municipal RFPs are scattered across individual municipal websites. Missing the timing means losing entry opportunities.
After consulting
Nationwide procurement information is organized, and suitable projects are identified. "Don't know where the projects are" is resolved.
Some challenges can't be solved by articles alone
You can learn RFP requirements from articles. But identifying the right project, assembling the team, and crafting a winning proposal — that's different for every case.
