We have used Tenders on two projects to date, both of which have been delivered on time and handled with the utmost of professionalism. Their insight into the tender process, the structuring of responses and buyer perspective have proved invaluable. Of the two projects, we were successful in one and are currently through to the latter stages in the second. In both instances I have no doubt that working with Tenders has given us the best possible chance of success.

Tenders supported us with a bid for a NHS contract which was put out to public procurement. Tom and David were very thorough and spent a lot of time getting to know us and our business, resulting in excellent material for our bid. They structured our content in each area to ensure that what we were saying fully met the criteria within a tight word limit. The delivery of tender was dealt with in a fast and professional manner. The conference calls were well structured and I feel that they helped us and Tenders to realise our unique selling points. Right up to final submission date Tenders provided an honest, professional and friendly service. Can’t rate them highly enough.
Wakefield Council
We would highly recommend Tenders. They helped us through a very daunting response with extensive research, care and expertise. They offer a very hands-on and personal approach, aiming high and remaining calm throughout to achieve the best possible outcome.

Having previously used Tenders to successfully write our tender response for us, we have now used them twice on a consultancy basis.
With this, they read all the necessary documentation and then issue a structure for us to write the tender response against. We will write the first draft and then return it to them to evaluate, they will make recommendations for changes and additions and send it back. This process is repeated several times until we are both happy with it.
Through this, we have had amazing feedback on our tender submissions, with one of our now clients informing us they had no option but to give us full marks for sections of our response due to the way it had been written!
Thank you very much for your help, we look forward to working with you again

The team at Tenders were very driven to provide us with excellence, and ultimately demonstrate that we were the best company for our prospective client.
There was a great deal of information and ideas to turn into a digestible and informative tender. To achieve this the guys were flexible with remote working and face to face workshops. Ultimately though they listened throughout, and that is invaluable.
The end result to measure is that the product we worked together on scored considerably higher than all other competitors!

Berendsen Cleanroom Services recently appointed Tenders to support a complex NHS framework tender. This is the first time we have engaged with them and what an incredible experience it has been for our team.
Special thanks to David for putting the resources in place and also to Adam. Adam provided us with excellent support 24/7 and he was instrumental in co-ordinating all the activities throughout the tender process.
A truly professional company who took the stress away from my team and provided us with a remarkable package!
Thank you Tenders team! We are looking forward to a successful journey together!

Working with you all has been an absolute pleasure and we have also learnt so much. From the way in which you handled the process to how you all extracted the information through the calls (and were very patient with us, especially when we got frustrated – the Risk question comes to mind !!) and then articulating it so well on paper.
It is always nerve racking when you hand such a lot of responsibility to a partner, as you have to trust that it will hit your expectations. In this case you surpassed it. The quality of your written work was outstanding and really brought our ideas and words to life.

David was very thorough and spent a lot of time getting to know us and our business, resulting in excellent material for our bid. Both he and Andy were very supportive and went over and above our expectations in their preparation and research. Overall they provided a very professional and valuable service. We would definitely use them again.

It was our first time working with Tenders, so we didn’t know what to expect, but were quickly reassured. We worked closely with their team who produced a high quality response that overturned lost points in the price evaluation, winning a £1.5 million contract. Couldn’t be happier and would gladly instruct them again on our next project.

Tenders had been recommended to me by another NHS Trust. I have worked with external bid teams before with varying results. Whilst Tenders fees were undoubtedly expensive (compared with other organisations I received quotes from), I would say that this was entirely worth it. They were able to mobilise quickly and helped us submit a bid to very challenging timescales that had we not had them involved I don’t think would have been the case. They understood the opportunities quickly, they asked pertinent questions and they had a huge ability in structuring strong and clear responses when they were swimming in a sea of confusing information provided by us. Working with Tenders has been a positive experience, leading to us winning a £4m contract, and hopefully leading to more.
Leeds Community Healthcare
Experience of working with Tenders has been excellent on all aspects of tender preparation activities (research and intelligence capture, ‘win strategy’ development, bid writing and quality assurance).
The company brought us added value with its wide service experience and knowledge, combining skill in analysis of customer wants with an ability to work effectively with staff in-house to harness local knowledge, often within tight turnaround timescales. This together with their sound project leadership and culture for quality assurance has led to production of focused, evidence-based (successful) bid submissions.
We have worked with the Health Lead and bid team in the development of complex, cross-organisational service solutions involving partnership and multi -disciplinary working. Tenders work ‘with you’. They are a skilled, professional, responsive team who know exactly what they are doing and are also personable and good to work with.
Gateshead Health
We won! Our first project with Tenders has resulted in a contract award. This was a critical contract for us, representing multi-million pound growth potential. The Tenders team has been nothing short of professional, clear-cut and precise in their evaluation advice, insight and support. The team is undoubtedly experienced and is wholly acquainted with the critical components of a winning bid. They are 100% focussed on winning. We look forward to working with Tenders UK to win similar contract awards for the future.
Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust
Having not used a tender writing service before we didn’t know what to expect. By the end of the bid writing I knew we had picked the best tender writing company. They didn’t mind how many times we called them, nor what time of day it was, they were always available to help, even giving their personal mobile numbers for out of office queries. Emails were answered promptly and they stuck to their deadlines. The conference calls were punctual and we were guided through each question skillfully, they teased comprehensive answers out of us without us realising. Their written bid was exceptional needing very few amendments. Right up to final submission date Tenders provided an honest, professional and friendly service. Can’t rate them highly enough.
The Transcription Agency
Tenders have been writing our tender submissions over the last 2 years. Of the 6 projects written, we have been successful in securing 100% of them. Working with Tenders has been one of our best business decisions, not only have we more time to focus on running our business, we have a critical friend informing our business strategy, developing our systems and identifying efficiencies. All of which has led to national recognition of our services.
