We supported a charitable organisation in applying for a public sector contract to deliver telephone-based support for parents and carers of children with neurodiversity. The bid required a case study from a single, similar contract — but the provider’s service was funded through multiple sources, not a standalone contract, creating a potential compliance issue. We flagged the risk early, documented it in our bespoke bid tracker, and facilitated a focused, constructive conversation with the client. By drawing on our experience, we helped identify the part of the service that best aligned with the commissioner’s requirements and crafted a case study around it — while transparently referencing the broader funding model. This approach kept the bid compliant, honest, and aligned with the commissioner’s expectations — without compromising the provider’s relationships or the integrity of the narrative.

We supported a fantastic team exploring a major public sector opportunity. On paper, it looked ideal — high-value, aligned with their strengths, and well within their capabilities. But once we got into the detail, the picture changed. The tender had tight mobilisation timelines, zero market engagement, and the incumbent provider was already delivering the full volume from day one — using properties they owned. With no clarity on how care packages or tenancies would transfer, it felt less like a fair competition and more like a refresh of an existing setup. We helped our client look beyond the surface, assess the risks, and consider whether the opportunity was truly winnable. With our support, they made a confident, strategic decision not to bid. Thinking about going for a bid? We don’t just write proposals — we offer honest, experienced guidance to help you make the right call. Because sometimes, walking away is the smartest move of all.
