Tender support from the commissioning side.
Bid writing and review for care providers bidding for ICB and local authority contracts and frameworks, from someone who has worked on the commissioning side and knows how answers are scored.
For providers bidding for NHS and local authority work.
Commissioners score what you write, not what you do. Strong services lose tenders because their answers do not show the evidence evaluators are looking for, or do not answer the question that was asked.
We help you read the specification and scoring the way an evaluator will, decide whether to bid, and write answers that are specific, evidenced and easy to score.

Common questions
Which tenders do you support?
Integrated care board and local authority tenders and frameworks for home care, complex care, supported living and continuing healthcare, including those run under the NHS Provider Selection Regime and the Procurement Act 2023.
Can you write the whole bid?
We can draft answers, review your drafts, or both. The best bids use your knowledge of your service and our knowledge of what evaluators look for.
Is there a fixed price per bid?
Yes. Once we have seen the tender documents we can quote a fixed price per bid instead of a day rate.
