Choose the right bid support
Bidgen is the premium, human-led alternative to a traditional bid-writing agency. We act as an extension of an SMB's team, with accountable ownership and capacity that flexes as tendering becomes a repeatable growth channel. Traditional agencies charge £4,500 to £20,000 per tender, with complex, high-value tenders reaching the upper end, while our SMB-specific model delivers the ongoing support at a significantly more cost-effective rate.
