Glad to see this helped. In your shoes, I’d document the distinction pretty carefully: what credit belongs to the firm’s systems, management, and resources versus what credit appears tied to a named individual who may or may not perform on the new contract.
If the solicitation allows it, key personnel qualifications and commitment become the cleaner place to recognize John Smith’s value. Past performance can still inform the picture, but I’d be cautious about letting one person’s prior success carry too much weight for either firm unless that person is actually proposed and meaningfully committed to the work.
