01Who should choose the dedicated bid-team service?+
It is for established businesses that want an expert team to find opportunities and run their public-sector bids. You do not need an existing pipeline or an in-house bid team. We can also strengthen an existing function with ongoing management, writing and review capacity.
02What does the ongoing partnership cover between bids?+
We continue the agreed opportunity review, build reusable evidence, learn from buyer feedback and prepare for upcoming procurements. Your proposal defines the scope, capacity, fee and commitment, including how overlapping deadlines or additional bids will be handled.
03How does the capacity flex?+
Your accountable owner remains consistent while the wider writing and review team expands or contracts around the number, complexity and timing of suitable tenders. A quiet period does not create unnecessary activity, while overlapping deadlines do not leave you dependent on one person's diary.
04How is ad hoc bid support priced?+
Bidgen is designed as a more cost-effective alternative to a traditional bid-writing agency. Traditional agency fees range from £4,500 to £20,000 per tender, with complex, high-value tenders reaching the upper end. We quote after reviewing the scope, documents, deadline, and support needed, using an SMB-focused model built to deliver premium-quality support at a significantly more cost-effective rate. The quote explains responsibilities, review stages, timing and any exclusions. Additional work is agreed before it starts.
05Does a more cost-effective price mean a lower-quality service?+
No. Every managed bid is led throughout by experienced bid experts and independently reviewed by a human before submission. One accountable owner leads response planning, subject-matter interviews, drafting, review and submission preparation. Our team is trained and equipped to use cutting-edge technology internally to improve productivity, consistency and error control, while people remain responsible for the work.
06Is Tender Discovery included?+
Opportunity monitoring, qualification and review of suitable bid packs are included in an ongoing partnership against an agreed profile. One-off support is scoped around the tender you bring us; additional discovery work is agreed separately.
