How we work

First, pick up the phone and give us a call. Or you can drop us a message. Tell us what you need or any specific tender you are interested in and we can go from there. We go through the specification, putting together a comprehensive tender proposal. We will get that over to you on the same day (even if it’s a weekend), because we understand that time is often of the essence.

The quote we provide has the costings clearly broken down. It will state what documents we need to be completed for the entire submission. Also, it will detail what documents you need to complete/sign in the meantime, because it’s vital that we/you submit on time. There will never be hidden extras. What we quote you is what you pay – it’s as simple as that.

Once we have the go-ahead from you, we guide you through the process from start to finish. Throughout the process, we tease out information required, advising and supporting you along the way, to build the strongest possible tender response. You go about your business, while we work behind the scenes.

We give you daily updates. We won’t bombard you with questions or request information here, there and everywhere. After all, you are paying us to do the legwork here. 

Prior to submission, you read the entire document and let us know any changes you want to make. These snippets of (massively important) info will often come to you as an ‘ah-ha’ moment.

Either you can submit the completed response document, or we will do it on your behalf.
