How HealthcareBids can help

Creating a winning bid for an NHS contract

Creating a winning bid for an NHS contract is a time-consuming activity that typically has to be completed within a four to six-week window. It has the potential to distract key staff from other important projects. Moreover, developing a successful bid requires an innovative service delivery model and bid writing expertise to ‘sell’ your credentials and expertise, ensuring your bid stands out from all the others. Consequently, without experienced bid support ahead of a tender and an experienced bid writing team, it is a real challenge to produce a high quality response on time.

HealthcareBids can take the burden off your shoulders. Responding to healthcare tenders is our business. We know how to develop services which meet the specification, how to manage a bid team, and how to create a compelling tender. From identifying tender ‘win themes’ which reflect your competitive strengths to writing all tender responses, we can provide exactly the support you require.

What some of our clients say about HealthcareBids…

“We would especially like to thank the brilliant team at Healthcare Bids who have done such an excellent job of understanding our company, crafting our responses and professionally organising this project from start to finish.”

Deborah Young Marketing Manager, 4ways Healthcare Ltd.

“Clover Health were new to tendering, but HealthcareBids guided us through the process and acted as an invaluable critical friend; reviewing our responses, writing narrative where necessary, and showing us how to describe and present our information. It was a really tough project as we only had a short window to prepare our response, but I must admit that I actually enjoyed the process as I was learning so much.”

Dr Jay VermaMedical Director for Clover Heath Ltd.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and advice which was absolutely invaluable. We really could not have done it without you.”

Anita FarrantAssistant Director Nursing and Early Help, Suffolk County Council

“We asked HealthcareBids to review our tender response as we found their insight and guidance invaluable in helping us with our 100,00K Genomes Project ITT response. We were not disappointed, again the guidance and insight were excellent for their clarity and direction.”
