Services That Help You Succeed

End-to-end bid and tender support services tailored to the specific needs of SMEs.

Bid writing

Compelling and compliant bids written by experienced professionals who know how to articulate the value you can add to public services. Let us help you replace stale, long-used ‘stock’ drafts and get better results.

Bid and tender review

We will review your completed SQ, PQQ, and technical and quality question answers and provide clear, actionable feedback to help strengthen your submission and boost your chances of success.

Bid management

We’ll lead and manage the entire bid process alongside your team. Our approach builds on our extensive experience of working remotely with teams across the UK to deliver complex, high-value projects.

Corporate policy review

Often overlooked (and we understand why) but these are often asked for in PQQs; you don’t want to fall at the first hurdle. We’ll review and help you draft strong corporate policies that set expectations and provide clear direction for your organisation.

Service and product review

Submitting the bids for the same old service for new contracts? Not updating your products and services puts you at a competitive disadvantage. We will review your current offer and make recommendations to align these with the expectations of buyers.

Advice and consultancy

From one-off advice to help you with the next steps of an upcoming bid to ongoing strategic support to position yourself for future success – we’re here for what you need. Drop us a line and we’ll arrange a catch up at your convenience.

We’re new! Tender Support itself started in 2025, with our services and approach informed by a long history of commissioning public services, evaluating bids (from suppliers like yourself) and policy development and strategy within the public sector.

We’re new! It’s our belief that the real opportunity to transform the delivery of public services lies with SMEs. The large organisations certainly have a role to play but SMEs have local knowledge, are small and agile enough to respond to local challenges and demand. They do, however, lack the corporate bandwith to effectively bid for public contracts.

This is where Tender Support comes in. We want to help realise the value that you can bring to public services by bridging the (persistent) bidding capacity and capability gaps within SMEs.

Remotely, although we’re happy very happy to meet clients in person including where this may be necessary due to the nature of the work.

Delivering high-value and complex projects remotely (both before and after, and especially during, the pandemic) means Tender Support is highly adept at remote project delivery. Remote working for us is business-as-usual and we have well-established ways of working to achieve optimum results with geographically dispersed teams.

Thus, whilst Tender Support is based in the West Sussex, Surrey area, we’re able to work on projects nationwide.

Possibly! Please ask. If we can’t do what you’re asking – to a reasonable quality – in the time available, then we’d rather say no than take it on only for you to have a negative result. We’re interested in securing positive results, and we want longer-term relationships with clients.

Do get in contact and we’ll see if we’re able to usefully help you in the time available.

Not yet – although we have recently successfully helped a client pass the PQQ stage by ensuring their corporate documentation met the ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standard.

Service philosophy

Our support is shaped around your needs. If all you need is a quick 15-minute call, that’s exactly what we’ll do. If you’re looking for hands-on support throughout a full bid process – from planning, drafting, through to submission then we can do that too. We know that every organisation is different, and if you’re not quite sure what you need yet, we’ll help you work it out.

We want you to be successful now—and in the future. That’s why we don’t just focus on the immediate opportunity; we also work with you to build the skills, tools, and confidence needed for long-term success. Our support is designed to help you win today while strengthening your capability to compete for future contracts with even greater impact.

We stay on top of emerging government priorities – like social value and carbon reduction – and help you align your offer accordingly. We take a long-term view, supporting you to strengthen your proposition, build meaningful relationships, and set yourself up for sustained success. Everything we recommend and do reflects this forward-looking approach.

We’re open and honest in everything we do. From costs and timelines to potential challenges, you’ll always know where you stand. We won’t proceed where there’s a conflict of interest, and we only work with clients when we believe we can add real value.
