FAQs
Questions? We're glad you asked.
If you're new or looking for answers to common questions, you're in the right place.
Pricing varies depending on the level of support you need. End-to-end bid management is more comprehensive and therefore more expensive than standalone bid writing. To give you an idea, full management of a construction maintenance framework bid will cost in the region of £8,000–£9,500.
We always provide a no-obligation quote that includes our recommendations and pricing. If you decide not to proceed, there’s absolutely no pressure.
We may offer flexibility for larger or long-term engagements. So, we’re happy to discuss custom pricing options that reflect the scale and duration of the work involved.
Our company has expertise across various sectors, including Defence, Healthcare, and Construction—our core industries. However, we have extensive experience and continue to support clients across all sectors.
Absolutely. We offer tailored training sessions, workshops, and coaching to improve bid writing skills, teach best practices, and boost confidence in the tendering process. This can be delivered in-house or online for a fixed fee.
That’s a great question, and we’re dedicated to helping businesses understand and overcome these challenges. However, identifying the root cause of a failed bid isn’t always straightforward. Bids can be unsuccessful for many reasons, including pricing, weak bid writing, lack of perceived value, or poor pre-bid engagement.
If you find yourself repeatedly bidding and losing, it’s crucial to pause and reassess. Our team can conduct a detailed review of your past submissions, scoring them against the evaluation criteria to pinpoint exactly where you went wrong. We’ll also schedule a call to discuss the bigger picture, helping identify any recurring issues or strategic missteps that may be impacting your success rate.
