  1. 4. PARTNERSHIP AND GROWTH INCLUDING BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

4.1 Introduction / overview

Catalpa has a Partnership and Growth team who work across the organisation to support networking, pre-bid positioning, partnering and bid development before handing over to a Program Manager post-award.

It is the role of the Partnership and Growth team to coordinate business development from networking to retrospectives / debriefs on bid development; but ultimately business development is everyone's responsibility.

This section has information and resources to support the various steps of business development and has links to templates to use on Monday.com to coordinate bid development.
