Pre-Bid Consultancy Services
Win More by Knowing Which Tenders Are Worth Your Time
If you’ve ever spent days writing a tender only to realise halfway through that it wasn’t the right fit, or discovered too late that your competition had a huge advantage, you already know the cost of bidding blindly.
Our Pre-Bid Consultancy Service exists to stop that from happening.
We help you make smart, informed decisions before you commit time, money and resource to writing a tender giving you the clarity to pursue only the opportunities you can genuinely win.
Is Pre-Bid Consultancy Right for You?
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Is this opportunity actually winnable for us?”
“Do we meet enough of the mandatory requirements?”
“What will the commissioner really prioritise in scoring?”
“What are the hidden risks or resource demands?”
“How strong will our competitors be in this area?”
“Do we have enough compelling evidence to win?”
…then you’ll benefit from guided, expert, pre-bid support.
What We Do
We review the tender documents, specification, scoring criteria, contract history and buyer priorities to determine whether the opportunity is a strong strategic fit for your organisation.
From accreditations and staffing requirements to minimum turnover thresholds and TUPE risks — we highlight what could prevent a win or cause complications later.
We assess the likely competitors, incumbent providers, market position, and sector-specific expectations. This helps identify where you can outperform competitors — and where the odds are stacked.
We help you shape your narrative early:
- Key themes to emphasise
- Evidence you must gather
- Social value points worth developing
- Messaging that aligns closely with commissioner priorities
This ensures you begin writing with clarity, confidence and direction.
We offer an honest, data-driven recommendation:
➡ Bid (strong chance of winning)
➡ Bid with caution (improvements needed)
➡ Do not bid (poor strategic fit or low success probability)
This alone can save businesses thousands in internal costs.
Why Pre-Bid Support Matters
Many organisations lose tenders not because they’re poor providers — but because they choose the wrong opportunities or enter the process unprepared.
Our service ensures you:
- Focus on high-value, winnable tenders
- Avoid wasting time on low-probability bids
- Start the writing process with a clear advantage
- Understand exactly what commissioners expect
- Build a stronger, more competitive submission from the outset
