The process

What working with us looks like

1

You send it over

A tender lands on your desk, and you send it over to us. We'll read it thoroughly, then let you know exactly what's involved: the timeline, the fixed fee, and what we'll need from you along the way.

2

We map the win strategy together

It's a conversation, not a black box. We start with a kick-off call to map out the win strategy and work out what raw material we'll need from you. You supply the substance: your systems, your numbers, your people, your track record, and we shape it into a response while you keep running your business.

3

You review, we refine

Your draft comes back with real time to review it, not the night before close. We check in as often as the tender needs, and a little more in that final week.

4

We submit and confirm

When it's ready, we send it to you ready to submit. Or if you prefer, we can submit it for you, so you can relax knowing it's done.

Our goal is to make this process as easy and stress free for you as possible.

You won't need to learn procurement language, or spend hours guessing what an evaluator wants to hear. Relax and let us do what we do. With years spent on the other side of the table ourselves, scoring bids as evaluators, we know what we are doing.

The engagement

What you're actually buying

A tender fee shouldn't be viewed as a cost, but as an investment. It's a fast-tracked degree in tender preparation, not from academics or newly minted "experts" who did a course, but from those who spend every day preparing quality tender responses.

Three things come out of every engagement, whatever the result.

01

A winning-standard response

Written to the standard evaluators are trained to score well.

02

An exemplar

So you can see what a genuinely strong response looks like for next time.

03

A reusable bid library

Content your business can draw on again, with or without us.

At the end of the process with us, you leave with a library of quality, reusable content, an understanding of what good looks like, and a much better idea of the process and what the requirements mean. All of which prepares you to handle the next tender with more confidence.

Clients who come back to the table

WE STAY WITH YOU TO THE END

Clients we work with regularly usually land on a shortlist or preferred-provider list, and we're always happy to talk you through the detail of "what happens next" means on a call. We are there to support you to the end.
