ITT – Special Educational School Cleaning

This well-established cleaning firm is already at the forefront of their industry. However, for this ITT, it was the human connection that led to a high scoring tender that beat other, lower priced bidders.

ITT – NHS Framework – Clinical Staffing

A recently established clinical staffing company wanted to secure a place on a large, complex NHS framework. With my help, the client passed both the ITT and audit and was awarded a place. Now holding stronger position within their market, they are looking forward to further business growth.

ITT – Event Equipment and Services – Review and Polish

This client took great advantage of the range and flexibility of my services, resulting in an extremely time- and cost-effective way to leverage their vast in-house knowledge against the experience of a bid professional to produce a high quality tender submission that fully showcased their expertise.

Coaching – Service Transformation Consultancy

This client was great at what they do but were struggling to demonstrate this in their tender submissions. A 3-month programme of targeted support resulted in improved writing skills and tendering techniques as well as a tailored information library, but most importantly, a ‘super fix’ for their most crucial problem.

ITT – Regional Duty Solicitor Provision

This controversial tender aimed to reshape the delivery of duty solicitor provision in the UK. Through legal challenges and delays, I worked with the client over 17 months to produce a winning bid that beat numerous, larger and longer established bidders and secured the future of the firm.

ITT – Neighbourhood Environmental Improvements

This small, family-run business was already subcontracted to deliver some of the services this tender required. Winning this contract allowed the company to become a prime contractor in their own right, expanding their own business and making an even greater positive impact on the local area.

Talk and surgeries – ‘Big Lunch Extra’ Roadshow

Not a bid but a bid writing workshop! I was invited to the Eden Project’s ‘Big Lunch Extra’ Wolverhampton Roadshow to give a talk on bid writing skills and techniques and hold confidential one to one ‘surgeries’ with attendees to help them gain more funding and/or service contracts.

RFP – High Level Security Escorts – Private Sector

A global leader in state-of-the-art technology requested proposals for the provision of high level security escorts to ensure the safety of both their engineers and products in locations across the world. My client required assistance in compiling a comprehensive proposal that demonstrated their experience, expertise and dedication.

ITT Mini Competitions – Employee Transition & Redeployment

Despite being awarded a place on the overarching framework, this client was struggling with the ‘mini tenders’ being procured by various government departments through the framework. The development of a set of semi-standard, adaptable responses enabled the client to achieve a 100% success rate for all new mini tenders published.

ITT x 3 – Adult Learning Provision for Long Term Unemployed

Due to their innovative methods and commitment to their learners, the client’s business was growing rapidly, expanding across several regions. Each tender required a high level of supporting evidence and needed to fully showcase the novel business model responsible for their on-going success at getting learners into work.
