The group aims to:

Map and enable access to academic research in bids and tenders across the globe

Track and communicate advances in the art and science of bidding to our member community

Create links with further education providers to advance the research and study of bidding.

Early work involves examining the current literature landscape surrounding bids and tenders to identify emergent themes and directions for future research. These research questions can then be addressed by the team in the future, as well as guiding research practitioners studying and researching in MBAs, Economics, Psychology, Operational Research and more. In parallel, the group is reaching out to MBA providers across the UK to examine the taught impact of bidding and to advance it as a graduate skill.

The Academia team aim to publish white-papers summarising their findings as well as creating a research digest in 2025, summarising emerging research in bids for the wider member community.

How can you get involved?

If you would like to join the academia group to support emerging research, reach out to academia@apmpuk.co.uk. We are currently working on our mailing list for the upcoming research digest, and expressions of interest should also be sent to academia@apmpuk.co.uk in the first instance.
