Strategy development for healthcare

We draw on our strategic expertise in the healthcare and other challenging industries to help make sure you are ideally positioned to achieve success in the future. We can help you to create a business development strategy by working with you to:

Identify and articulate your business objectives
Examine your current services portfolio and corresponding revenue / profit lines to identify areas of focus and growth, and where to reduce investment
Identify potential new services to develop, for example, in response to requests from commissioners or from identifying a market trend
Undertake research – desk-based and interviews – to test and substantiate new ideas.

Healthcare bid preparation

HealthcareBids will work with your teams to lay the foundations for a high quality bid that not only meets the specification, but which also makes it clear why your organisation is best suited to win the contract. Even if you have your own bid writing professionals, we can help you with your bid preparation process. Depending on your specific requirements, we can support you through the following activities:

Market analysis

Drawing on our extensive experience within the NHS and private sector, we will develop an incisive assessment of:

Your potential competitors and their relative strengths and weaknesses.
Innovative approaches and best practice that could deliver a competitive advantage.
Partners who can complement your service offering.

Healthcare bid writing support

Your operational and clinical staff have the detailed service knowledge and insights required to create a strong tender. However, they may lack the time and expertise to develop the outstanding bid document that is essential to win contracts, particularly within the tight deadlines typical of NHS and Local Authority tenders.

HealthcareBids has an impressive track record of success in writing winning NHS tenders. We will help you assemble the required information and craft it into a well-written document that answers every question comprehensively, addresses the service specification and makes it easy for clients to understand the benefits you can bring to the contract.

Once a tender has launched, we can make an immediate start to help you create a compelling response within the submission deadline. And with an outstanding win rate and more than two-thirds repeat customers, you can rest assured that your NHS tender response is in the best possible hands.

Healthcare project implementation

Our team draws on best practice in project management and delivery gained in the healthcare and other demanding industry sectors. If your bid is successful, we will create a plan to deliver the mobilisation activities detailed in the ITT response. Our team will manage the implementation process, working closely with your workstream leads to ensure activities are completed on time and to the highest standards.

We will also develop and maintain a risk log with mitigating actions as required and will escalate key risks to your executive sponsor. In addition, we will attend commissioner engagement and update meetings, and highlight any identified external risks with commissioners. For example, if final TUPE information is delayed, we will ask the commissioning team to address this with the outgoing provider. This will ensure that your plan is implemented on schedule and in a professional manner, allowing you to focus on your day-to-day business.
