This is a frequent question, and one that is a bit of a red-herring. Our team are from a diverse background, and have likely worked in in your sector at some point. We are business professionals, we combine our writing and strategic expertise with your technical knowledge and USP’s. Many compliance requirements are applicable to any business type, if yours are sector specific we will appoint a specialist from your field.
If you submit bids and proposals regularly, or require ongoing support, we offer the option of signing up to a monthly retainer. This allows you access to our management consultancy whenever its needed, and a raft of other benefits such as tailored opportunity alerts and ongoing strategic advice.
No. We are providing a service that guarantees your company will be presented in the best possible light according to the tender criteria and our client research. We believe that a no-win, no-fee attitude can lead to biased advice, including bidding for tenders that are not in your best interest or expose you to risk.

Our team will require access to information about your business that you may regard as personal or sensitive data. Therefore, we sign Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements for all our clients, if required, to ensure that your data, including company names used in testimony, remains private.

Our pricing is dependent on the level of expertise and service you require. We operate on an hourly charge rate, to ensure our service is always providing value for money. Consultancies that offer a fixed price review are working to a time limit, irrespective of the complexity of the tender, which we believe is not in your best interest.
Our consultants can help devise bidding strategies based on the pricing matrices, research and knowledge of competitors. Our financial experts can assist with pricing strategies based on your specific overheads and strategic targets.
The win rate figure is not something which should be considered individually. The win rate does not give you an indication of profitability, bid value, bid volume and many other important factors that combined determine the success of a capture strategy. The win-rate alone is not a good representation of bid strategy success, as we occasionally advice clients to bid on low win chance opportunities to make the client aware of their offering. Should you wish to establish win metrics, we will happily discuss these with you, tailored to your company strategy.
