Practical guidance to help your business bid smarter, not harder

Bidding successfully isn’t just about writing – it’s about strategy, systems, and getting the right foundations in place. My consultancy support helps you look beyond the submission and build a more streamlined, confident, and sustainable approach.

Whether you’re exploring tenders for the first time or want to improve how you plan, prepare and perform – I offer straight-talking support that works with your real-world constraints.

Strategic Planning

Find the right tenders, get prepared, and set yourself up for success

I work with you to clarify your goals. Together we assess your current position and create a practical plan to identify and secure the kind of work you want – without chasing every opportunity.

Includes:

  • Tender-readiness review
  • Market research and opportunity scanning
  • Planning who needs to do what and when
  • Light-touch support over time as needed

“We went from scattergun to strategic — and it’s changed the way we think about growth.”
— Client, consultancy sector

👉 Ideal for: Businesses that want a more proactive, focused approach to bidding.

Future-Proofing & Process Optimisation

Streamline your behind-the-scenes processes so bidding doesn’t become a bottleneck

If you’ve ever thought “there must be a better way to do this” – there probably is. I help you identify where time is being lost. I show you where things could be automated or templated, and help make bidding feel less chaotic.

Includes:

  • Mapping your current bid process
  • Identifying gaps, overlaps, and time-sinks
  • Suggestions for tools, templates or automation
  • Team training or process documentation where needed

👉 Ideal for: Teams that want to save time, reduce overwhelm, and be more bid-ready — more often.

Evaluation & Improvement

Unpick past tenders and get clear, constructive feedback on how to improve

If you’ve had limited or confusing feedback from buyers, I offer an objective, practical review of your past bids. This review identifies what’s working – and what isn’t. It can also help tackle conflicting internal views and get your team working towards the same goals.

Includes:

  • Reviewing previous tenders (won or lost)
  • Feedback and scoring analysis
  • Annotated mark-ups and improvement suggestions
  • Optional rewrite support if needed

👉 Ideal for: Businesses that want honest, informed insight to level up their bids.
