01Who should choose the dedicated bid-team service?+
It suits established businesses that want an outside team to find opportunities and run their public-sector bids. You do not need an existing pipeline or an in-house bid team. If you already have a bid team, we can add ongoing management, writing and review support.
02What does the ongoing partnership cover between bids?+
We keep reviewing opportunities as agreed, build up evidence you can reuse, learn from buyer feedback and prepare for upcoming procurements. Your proposal sets out the scope, capacity, fee and commitment, including how we handle overlapping deadlines or extra bids.
03How do you handle busy and quiet periods?+
Your bid owner stays the same. The writers and reviewers around them change with the number, complexity and timing of the tenders you decide to bid for. A quiet period does not create work for the sake of it, and overlapping deadlines do not leave you dependent on one person's diary.
04How is ad hoc bid support priced?+
Bidgen is built for SMEs and designed to deliver premium-quality support at a significantly more cost-effective rate than 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. 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. Experienced bid people lead every managed bid from start to finish, and another person reviews it independently before submission. One owner is responsible for response planning, subject-matter interviews, drafting, review and submission preparation. Our team is trained to use technology internally to work faster, keep answers consistent and catch errors, while people remain responsible for the work.
06Is Tender Discovery included?+
Yes, in the ongoing partnership. We monitor opportunities against a profile agreed with you, qualify them and review the bid packs that fit. One-off support is scoped around the tender you bring us; any extra discovery work is agreed separately.
