We are experts in the Healthcare sector. Our team have spent decades working in and alongside public and private sector healthcare providers, successfully leading and writing 100’s of winning tenders. With experienced Healthcare and NHS bid writers and associate clinical advisers our Healthcare and NHS bid responses benefit from unique specialist input into specific clinical questions and additional clinical reviews.

It is this understanding and knowledge that makes us the obvious choice to achieve successful outcomes for your organisation, helping you design and implement effective contract strategies that produce winning Healthcare and NHS bids.

We have worked across the spectrum of NHS providers; small GP and dental providers, private community providers, GP federations and Primary Care Networks (PCNs), NHS Trusts and large consortium tenders for Integrated Care Services. Whatever size your organisation we guarantee a personalised and dedicated service, provided by our driven and committed team of Healthcare and NHS tender bid writer specialists.

Within the integrated care system, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are responsible for NHS budgets at a local level, arranging and commissioning the provision of health and social care services in their local area.

On January 1, 2024 the Provider and Selection Regime (PSR) came into force specifically for the procurement of health care services for:

This is a massive change in procurement regulations and means that any procurement process for health care services that started after this date must be done in compliance with the new PSR regulations. For more information on PSR read our blog article: What are PSR regulations and how do they affect NHS tenders?

How do I develop a Bid Strategy for Healthcare Tenders?

We will help you meet the needs of the tender whilst achieving the growth goals of your organisation. We work with our clients to understand and define their place within the local health system, and then design and implement an effective contract strategy built on research and opportunity analysis.

It is important to take some considerations into account when developing an effective contract strategy; to reflect upon your approach and bid strategy for Healthcare tenders. Therefore, you should carefully consider:

The current issues faced by the Healthcare sector nationally and the locality, including at ICB/ ICS/ PCN or Practice locality. Demonstrating awareness of how your organisation can provide value with an understanding of these issues is essential.
How can you effectively deliver better patient experiences of care and outcomes? (If you cannot answer this question, perhaps you should not be bidding)
Effective stakeholder engagement and project planning. Within your resource and procurement timetable constraints, can you effectively appropriately engage both internal and external stakeholders?

We work with our clients to understand and define their place within the local health system, and then design and implement an effective contract strategy built on research and opportunity analysis.

Our Healthcare Bid Writing Process

The Healthcare bid writing process starts with detailed information gathering and coordination of all the required stakeholders . Working with clinicians across primary, community, and secondary care, we know and understand the pressures NHS knowledge-holders and teams are currently facing and aim to ease the burden that submitting tenders place on clients. Our Healthcare bid management and information gathering tools and techniques have been specifically designed to manage these competing resource demands and ensure the very best healthcare tender can be consistently delivered.

Once this information has been captured, we will use it to shape and create a set of comprehensive and compelling answers. Drawing on many years of managing and writing healthcare bids, we take a consultative approach which showcases your organisation’s strengths whilst carefully meeting the strict criteria of the bid.

We have an excellent track record winning Healthcare and NHS tenders, for example, 100% success on NHS Workforce recruitment framework tenders, and over 80% of all NHS GP APMS contracts. Moreover, our input and help have enabled clients to deliver contracts that positively impact the NHS and their patient outcomes. For example:

Supporting design of effective place-based care propositions
Implementing more innovate and sustainable delivery models
Transforming services to become patient-focused
Enabling models of care that are underpinned by evidence and best clinical practice.

Healthcare Testimonials

We would like to say a big thank you for helping us write the recent bid for the GP surgery in Manchester. We recognise it was a very short notice on the face of such a mammoth task. We found your team very organised asking relevant questions and doing a lot of background research. The end result was very high quality replies that were asked in the bid questionnaire. Your availability on the phone all the time throughout this process and even while dealing with queries which came through after bid submission was really appreciated.

Krisja has successfully led a number of consultancy projects and community health bids for us. Every piece of work is strategically thought out, with a clear project plan and outcome in mind. He drives the project through and ensures we keep close attention to key milestones and timescales. He is a pleasure to work with and keeps me informed throughout the process.

I have worked on several tenders with Krisja and his colleagues with great success. He brings an inclusive process and imbeds himself within our company to facilitate us in helping him, help us. His subject knowledge is impressive alongside with understanding the market area in which his clients provide a service. He was able to bring together the company strategic direction, align our operational service delivery and highlight what we do well and what could be improved upon. This key skill enabled us to realise what we had forgotten, what made us good and what made us great and ensure that this was coherently described in our tender documentation. He was able to manage his bid team and assign key areas to their strengths and passions. Overall is was a pleasure to work with Krisja and I look forward to doing so in the future.

This is the second NHS dental tender we have worked with Krisja on. We won the first and are very confident of our chances on the second. He is always professional, diligent and flexible. His knowledge and input on healthcare bid strategy, delivery models, and commissioner perception is excellent. He always goes beyond compliance, to find creative ways of making our proposal the very best it can be!
