What I believe
Too many capable contractors miss out on work they could deliver because their capability isn't visible in the way buyers need to assess it. I work with those contractors to make their capability clear, evidenced and ready for the work they want to pursue.
Know what you're going after. Prove that you can do it. Keep the evidence ready for what comes next.

“Donna is a champion. Anything she takes on, she throws herself into. She understands government and the paper trail that comes with it, but she also understands businesses like ours and how we actually operate. Having her in our corner has helped us put forward strong submissions and we've got a couple of good wins on the board together.”

Donna Keough is the Founder of YCM | Capability | Compliance | Contracts. She spent more than 20 years in State and Commonwealth Government procurement and contract management - writing tender documentation, developing procurement frameworks and compliance materials, chairing evaluation panels and managing contracts from the buyer's side.
