How HealthcareBids can help

Winning and delivering NHS contracts

Developing a winning bid for an NHS contract is never easy. Bids typically require detailed responses to a wide range of questions and must be completed within a four to six-week window. Success demands a clearly articulated service model which will deliver required outcomes. Invariably, input is required from key clinical and operational staff whose time is already fully committed to day-to-day operations.

On top of this, you need the bid writing expertise to ‘sell’ your vision and organisational strengths to ensure a compelling submission. Without a highly capable bid manager and an experienced bid writing team, it can be a formidable 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 tailored support to meet your specific needs.

Our support can continue after you win an NHS tender. Having helped you map out the granular detail of a service model, we are ideally placed to provide an objective and experienced project manager to help mobilise your service in line with the vision described in your tender.

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.

“Through using HealthcareBids there was a clear improvement in our bid process. They asked the right questions to help us see exactly what the commissioners were looking for and which aspects of our service needed to be highlighted. I believe it was a true partnership, we worked well together, Sue was delightful and a true pleasure to work with.”

Ginny TaylorDeputy Director of Operations, Children and Family Services, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust

“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.”

David AtkinsCongenica’s CEO

“The service we received from the entire team was outstanding from the start of the tender process until submission date. The team of writers supported us to produce a high quality weight management bid and we secured the contract as a result. We intend to work with HealthcareBids again and would highly recommend them as a company to reach out to for bid writing support – it’s worth the investment.”
