We know from conversations with a lot of local organisations that pressure to save costs has meant reduced staffing and so reduced capacity to invest in finding new sources of funding. You know what you need to do and what you want to do but you just don’t have enough time and people to do it. Sound familiar? So we’ve developed a new service to enable you to buy in the capacity you need…
- Want to bid for public sector contracts or grant funding but just don't have enough time?
- Got a great project plan but not the capacity to process the necessary funding paperwork to get it off the ground?
- Wish you could find someone who could just step in and do the work for you freeing your time to get on with other urgent tasks?
Our bid-writing service may be just what you need!
We have an experienced team of specialist bid writers who can provide a variety of services. We can:
- be a critical friend assessing and reviewing your case
- check the detail in your completed application
- offer a full service including supporting you to become tender ready, working with you to identify potential funding, helping you to complete and write your applications and supporting you to final submission of all required documentation
We work with:
- medium/larger VCSE organisations
- with a solid track record of delivery and
- with a clear idea of what they want to bid for
Tender readiness
It is vital to ensure you are in a position to bid or tender for that contract or apply for the funding you have identified and will be in a position to successfully deliver what you want to do. We can help with the time consuming task of ensuring you have everything planned and in place to give you the best chances of success when applying for funding and bidding for contracts including assessing your quality management systems, policies and procedures.
Remember that public sector commissioners will want to be satisfied that you are both capable and credible of delivering the service and show evidence that you have all the correct documents, licenses, policies, governance and management systems in place so they can be sure Public Sector delivery contracts are always placed in safe hands.
Bid/Tender writing
We cover bids to all sorts of funders of the VCSE sector including public sector, charitable trusts, Lottery bodies and corporate funders.
We can support you with tendering for contracts: assisting with completion of both Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) and Invitations To Tender (ITTs).
We help draft responses that are articulate but easy to read, telling the story and engaging the audience whilst providing required information within the specified word count. We consider the funder/commissioner’s perspective to ensure responses focus on what clear and measurable outcomes they are seeking and can also work with you to manage the application and ensure you have everything in place for submission in good time.
Our services can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Our two bid writers have over 40 years’ experience between them in writing and appraising bids for the VCSE, fundraising, contracts, as well as public sector commissioning and enterprise support.
