Supporting a Strategic Bid for a Landmark Mobility Project

Realized in The Middle East

Helping shape a world-class, integrated public transport solution for one of the most ambitious and forward-looking urban developments in the world — where mobility is central to delivering a seamless, sustainable, and customer-focused city experience.

 

The challenge

A major new city development in the Middle East is aiming to become a global destination for entertainment, culture, and innovation — aligned with national ambitions for economic diversification and sustainable urban growth.

The city’s development authority launched a competitive international tender for a comprehensive mobility services package. The scope covered electric vehicle operations, infrastructure, intelligent transport systems (ITS), and customer service delivery — all to be implemented in a phased manner in line with the city’s construction and opening timelines.

A leading global public transport operator was invited to bid in partnership with a prominent regional infrastructure firm. They engaged RebelGroup to support the planning and development of a high-quality, compliant, and compelling proposal under a challenging timeline.

The Approach

RebelGroup supported the bidding consortium as an embedded partner, providing end-to-end strategic and technical assistance throughout the tender process. Our role included:

  • Structuring the bid response and drafting delivery plans across technical, commercial, and contractual workstreams
  • Proofreading all delivery plans and acting as a content controller to ensure consistency, clarity, and alignment across documents
  • Facilitating cross-functional input and coordination between international and regional partners, including bid project management to align timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder contributions across multiple workstreams
  • Ensuring alignment with the client’s strategic goals, evaluation criteria, and delivery model

Our interdisciplinary team combined bid management expertise with deep sector knowledge in urban mobility and public transport operations — allowing us to guide the consortium toward a polished, credible submission.

Impact

A highly innovative and forward-looking bid package was delivered on time and in line with all technical and procedural requirements.
