I tried to land this odd job but failed to get passed "PQQ" stage and was not invited to tender. Lost out to five "organisations". I spoke to the bloke who wrote the brief and he said that he was not aware of the BAJR thread. Seeing as the brief was almost a photocopy of this BAJR thread you would have thought that I was in with a chance. I told them that I had been told about the project through this thread. They asked for records of last three years earnings and I had to get permission from clients to put down them as examples of contracts that I had done. I was told that two evaluations that I had done this year and a watching brief were not examples of specialist report writing. I was told that the five organisations were all "stronger". That's told me.
