Defence Prime: Performance Coaching Services (ASDEFCON)

Performance coaching, disciplined bidding: shaping a Defence-ready response for the Royal Australian Navy.  

 

Our client needed to secure a long‑term Performance Coaching Services (PCS) contract with the Royal Australian Navy Training Authority Maritime Warfare (TAMW), delivering coaching across multiple officer courses and locations under a detailed Defence Statement of Work (SOW). 

Our client needed to present a Defence‑aligned, low‑risk, value‑for‑money coaching solution that clearly demonstrated compliance with PCS SOW requirements, Defence security and quality standards, and the ability to flex with changing TAMW training demand over the contract term. 

How Height helped

Height led end‑to‑end bid management and tender writing, with a Bid Manager and Writer overseeing our client’s governance and stage gates, including technical reviews, independent cost and price checks, and bid submission approvals. 

Working directly with the solution lead, subject matter experts and the key subcontractor, Height coordinated inputs and drafted the core response, shaping the PCS Team structure, course coverage, and coaching approach to align tightly with the SOW and Defence training frameworks. 

Height authored the entire response to clearly explain how our client would deliver coaching, training support, services management, quality management, and risk mitigation for TAMW. 

Results

Through structured bid governance, close collaboration with the solution team and subcontractor, and clear, Defence‑aligned writing, the engagement delivered several key benefits for our client and TAMW: 

  • Delivered a coherent, fully compliant bid that mapped TAMW requirements to specific PCS services, training support, support resources and quality obligations, making it straightforward for evaluators to understand and assess the proposal. 

  • Demonstrated our client as a low‑risk, high‑confidence partner by showing how veteran‑led coaches, integration with existing contracts at HMAS Watson, and ISO‑accredited governance systems would ensure continuity, performance, and operational resilience for TAMW. 

  • Strengthened our client’s value‑for‑money message by articulating a scalable coaching workforce model, cross‑utilisation of personnel across courses, and the ability to adjust rate‑of‑effort in line with evolving Navy training needs.
