Plan your bid

We will help you to plan your bid submission using our many years of experience in service design and business development, ensuring you are proposing a project that is both deliverable and that meets all funder requirements. Once you have written your bid, we will provide a detailed review to ensure it is entirely customer focused, compliant and positively reflects your unique offer. We can help by:

  • First supporting you to understand the bid opportunity, the needs and requirements of your customer and those of your organisation. We will then work with you to develop your project and its win themes. We will then create storyboards outlining the exact information that you should include in each response how it should be structured, with additional advice on how to present complex information and keeping within word limits.
  • Once you have drafted the bid, we will review it against the customer’s priorities, specification and evaluation criteria, checking it is compliant, and editing and rewriting it to make it as strong as possible.

We will agree with you the exact support required for your bid. Please get in touch to discuss this with us.


I have worked with Sarah twice. She has written two high-value strategically vital bids for us to DfE, both of which have been successful… I would recommend her to others.
