Flexible bid support to free up your time, reduce your stress, and grow your business.

A yellow watering can to represent nurturing business growth.

If you want experienced help with tenders and proposals without hiring a full-time bid manager, I can step in.

Whether you regularly compete for contracts or have an opportunity on the horizon, I can help on a fractional or ad-hoc basis, from preparing bids and writing responses to taking ownership of the whole tender process.

WHEN BID SUPPORT MAKES SENSE

You’ve got a regular or growing tender pipeline, but don’t need a full-time bid manager.

You’ve got an important tender coming up and need an extra pair of hands.

Your sales and operations teams are spending too much time managing bids.

You need someone to take ownership of your bids so everyone can stay on track.

You want to improve the quality and scores of your bids.

You’re new to public sector tendering and want to get bid-ready.

MY Services

  • For businesses with a regular or growing tender pipeline, that need dedicated bid management without employing someone full-time.

    I work as an extension of your business, providing ongoing ownership and coordination of your bidding activity.

    Depending on what you need, this can include:

    • Managing your bid pipeline and upcoming opportunities

    • Bid/no-bid assessments

    • Planning bids and response strategy

    • Coordinating contributors and subject matter experts

    • Writing, editing and reviewing responses

    • Managing compliance and submission requirements

    • Gathering evidence, case studies and supporting information

    • Developing your bid library and reusable content

    • Reviewing results and improving future submissions

    You get continuity and experienced bid management without pulling directors, sales teams and operational staff away from other key responsibilities.

  • Need support with one particular tender?

    I can work alongside your team on an individual opportunity, whether you need a second pair of eyes or someone to take responsibility for the whole submission.

    Support can include:

    • Tender and specification review

    • Bid/no-bid assessment

    • Bid planning and strategy

    • Full bid writing

    • Interviews with your subject matter experts

    • Editing and reviews

    • Compliance checks

    • Full bid management through to submission

    • Contract renewal bids

    • Post-bid reviews

    You decide how much support you need.

  • I can also help strengthen what sits behind your bids, particularly if you’re new to tendering or want to improve future performance.

    This includes bid-ready audits and opportunity research, developing case studies, evidence libraries, policies, procedures, and supporting content, and making improvements to your overall bid process.

My ideal clients

I work with growing businesses that have enough tender activity to need experienced bid support, but not necessarily enough to justify employing a full-time bid manager.

I also work with established bid, sales and commercial teams that need additional capacity for individual tenders, contract renewals or particularly busy periods.

‍My experience includes:

  • Healthcare equipment manufacturing and supply

  • Servicing and maintenance

  • Clinical support services

  • Independent living solutions

  • Hospital and community beds

  • Pressure area care mattresses

  • Moving and handling equipment and hoists

  • Stairlifts and through-floor lifts

  • Medical furniture and daily living aids

Whatever your sector, I will partner with you and your teams to help you achieve your goals.

What evaluators have said

  • "Best bid received – you made it easy for us to read and evaluate."

  • “You understood exactly what we asked for.”

  • "The highest scoring bid, and an excellent product demonstration by the sales team."

RATES

I provide fractional bid management as ongoing monthly support, with agreed service levels based on your expected bid activity and needs.

Individual tenders and projects can be priced separately, based on the scope and level of support required.

If your needs change, we can adjust the level of support accordingly.

Tell me what you're bidding for, what support you already have and where the pressure points are, and we can work out the right approach.
