Pace never comes at the cost of quality

What is achievable in the time you have left

Most advice on tight deadlines tells you to plan earlier, which is not useful once the clock is running. This is what we can actually deliver against the time remaining, including where the answer is no. Tell us the deadline first and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable before we quote.

24 to 48 hours remaining

Rescue and review only

What we deliver

Evaluator-style review of a draft you already have, scored against the published criteria
Rewriting the two or three answers carrying the heaviest weighting
Compliance check against the tender pack, so nothing is missing at upload
Portal submission handled, including the file formats and declarations that cause late failures

What we will not promise

A full submission written from nothing
Evidence gathering that needs your operational teams
Anything requiring an accreditation or policy you do not already hold

Under a week remaining

A complete quality response, if your evidence exists

What we deliver

All quality and method responses written from your existing projects and data
Social value commitments structured to the model the buyer is using
Compliance matrix built and chased to completion
One full review pass against the marking scheme before submission

What we will not promise

A pricing strategy built from scratch where your costs are not modelled
New accreditations, which take weeks at minimum
A consortium or subcontract agreement negotiated from cold

One to two weeks remaining

A properly managed submission

What we deliver

Full bid management: schedule, owners, compliance matrix, chasing
Quality responses written and reviewed twice
Pricing coordinated with your commercial team and sense-checked
Clarifications drafted and submitted before the question deadline
Mobilisation and TUPE responses built rather than asserted

What we will not promise

Fixing a financial standing problem that fails the buyer threshold
CQC or similar registration, where the regulator sets the clock

Four to six weeks remaining

The full job, including the parts most bidders skip

What we deliver

Honest bid or no bid assessment before anyone writes a word
Win strategy and themes agreed with your leadership
Evidence gathered properly from delivery teams rather than improvised
Two review cycles with time to act on the second
A reusable bid library built as a by-product, so the next tender starts ahead

What we will not promise

Nothing, at this point the constraint is your availability, not the calendar

The clarification cut-off is usually the real constraint rather than the submission date, because it closes your ability to resolve an ambiguity in the specification. It commonly falls one to two weeks before submission. Check it before you plan anything else.

Last-Minute PQQ & ITT

Urgent PQQ, ITT, SQ and framework mini-competitions

How Urgent Bid Support Works

Big opportunities rarely arrive with comfortable timescales. A buyer comes to you directly, a framework mini-competition drops with days to run, or a decision to bid is taken late. The instinct is to wonder whether it is even possible. Usually it is, if you move immediately and the right people pick it up.

We respond the same day. We read the ITT or PQQ end to end, map the quality questions and weightings, and tell you honestly whether the deadline is deliverable. If it is, two named directors mobilise straight away, splitting the technical and commercial workstreams so the response is built at pace without losing quality or coherence. We run a compliance and quality check against the evaluation criteria, finalise pricing, and support the portal submission ahead of the deadline.

Every engagement is quoted as a fixed fee up front, urgent or not, so there are no surprises. We also take on rescue work where a draft has stalled, a resource has dropped out, or a submission has fallen behind. Call 020 3668 5488 and we will confirm the plan and the fee the same day. For the full approach, see how we win bids, or start with a free bid health check.

Urgent Bid FAQs

How fast can you turn around a bid?

We respond the same day and regularly deliver complete responses on 24 to 48 hour timescales, and across a few days for larger submissions. We mobilise two named directors immediately so pace never comes at the cost of quality.

Can you help if the deadline is only days away?

Yes. Tight and last-minute deadlines are a core part of what we do. We triage the ITT or PQQ immediately, tell you honestly whether it is deliverable, and if it is, we build it against an hour-by-hour plan to the deadline.

Do you rescue bids that have stalled or gone wrong?

Yes. We take on rescue and recovery work where a draft has stalled, a resource has dropped out, or a submission is behind. We stabilise the response, close the gaps against the scoring, and get it submitted.

We have no internal bid team and a six week deadline. What should we do?

Six weeks is the full job, not a rescue. Used properly it covers an honest bid or no bid assessment, a win strategy, evidence gathered from your delivery teams rather than improvised, two review cycles with time to act on the second, and a reusable bid library as a by-product. The constraint at six weeks is your team's availability for evidence sessions, not the calendar. Call 020 3668 5488.

Our tender is due in two weeks. Is that enough time?

Usually yes, for a properly managed submission: full bid management with a schedule and owners, quality responses written and reviewed twice, pricing coordinated with your commercial team, and clarifications submitted before the question deadline. What two weeks will not fix is a financial standing problem that fails the buyer's threshold, or a registration where the regulator sets the clock.

When would you tell us not to bid?

When the evidence does not exist, when an accreditation the tender mandates cannot be obtained in time, when the financial thresholds exclude you, or when the remaining hours cannot produce a submission worth scoring. We would rather lose the fee than take money for a bid that cannot be finished, because that costs you the management time and the morale as well as the money.

What is the real deadline we should be working to?

Usually the clarification cut-off, not the submission date. It commonly falls one to two weeks before submission and it closes your ability to resolve an ambiguity in the specification. Bidders who plan to the submission date routinely discover a question they can no longer ask. Check the cut-off before you plan anything else.

Does urgent work cost more?

We quote a fixed fee up front for every engagement, urgent or not, so there are no surprises. Call 020 3668 5488 and we will confirm the fee and the plan the same day.
