My client just won a $5M construction renovation contract. How long does it take to win a contract? It took us 25 months to get awarded and funded.🤯 Key words "and funded". Most of us read about how a company was awarded a 5M, 10M or 100M contract but we don't necessarily think about the timeline leading up to the award. He was awarded a contract about 12 months ago but had to wait until this fiscal year for the project to get funded. During that time we were very active and transparent with the client on potential scenarios since some of the drawings haven't been updated since 1972. For those in construction, can you relate?🤣 So for those that are new to construction in government, I wanted to shed some light around how long it may take to win a contract. #govcon #coo #governmentcontracting #procurement #smallbusiness
