The partnership combines Kahootz’s expertise in secure collaborative working environments with Shipley’s industry-leading business-winning methods.

The integration will embed Shipley’s proven techniques and training resources directly into the Kahootz platform. Users will also have access to expert advice from Shipley consultants through the platform’s secure messaging.

“We’re excited to work with Shipley to enhance our offering in the opportunity capture space," said Luca Leone, CEO of Kahootz. "This collaboration will allow us to provide our customers with powerful new tools to streamline their capture and proposal processes and improve success rates, all within our secure environment."

Mark Taylor, Managing Director of Shipley UK, said: “Many Shipley clients already rely on Kahootz for secure external collaboration during bids. Embedding Shipley methods and workflow will help bridge the gap between understanding and implementing Shipley best practice, making opportunity capture more efficient and effective.”

Trusted by leading organisations including the Ministry of Defence, NHS and Home Office, Kahootz’s secure platform will soon offer enhanced tools specifically tailored for competitive bids and captures.
