Win public sector contracts without hiring a bid team
Building an in-house bid function is expensive and slow. JGP Consultancy gives your business a dedicated account manager and expert bid writers, so you can find and win public sector contracts without adding headcount.
- ✓ A named account manager who knows your business
- ✓ Hand-curated, winnable opportunities every week
- ✓ Expert bid writing and review on demand
We help SMEs win contracts with buyers across the UK public sector
Why hiring a bid team is a big commitment
Recruiting a skilled bid writer is expensive, and it takes time you may not have. Salaries are high, good people are hard to find, and there is not always enough bid activity to keep a full-time hire busy all year round.
When that person is on leave or moves on, your capability leaves with them. For most SMEs, carrying a permanent bid team is hard to justify, yet the work still needs doing, and doing well.
A proven bid team, only when you need it
JGP Consultancy gives you the capability without the payroll. You get a named account manager who learns your business and works with you week to week. Behind them sits JGP Consultancy’s full bid team, including specialist bid writers who have supported submissions on major programmes such as high-speed rail and motorway refurbishment. You draw on that expertise when you need it, and not when you do not.

“As a small business, what we valued most about JGP Consultancy is that you’re never left to figure it out alone. We had a dedicated account manager who understood our business and guided us through every stage, from finding the right tender to strengthening our bid. It felt like having an expert in our corner the whole way through. That support is exactly what helped us land a £1.2 million contract within our first five months of working with JGP Consultancy.”Ricardo Salvatore, Business Manager, R H (NW)
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for small businesses?
Yes. Helping SMEs win public sector work is exactly what we do. Whether you are established and turning over several million, or newer to tendering and unsure where to start, we tailor the support to where you are. For smaller businesses at the beginning of the journey, our SME Growth Programme is built specifically to get you tender-ready.
We have never won a public sector contract before. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Many of our clients start with no tendering experience at all. One client, an arboriculture business new to the public sector, won their first ever contract, a place on a five-year framework, with our support.
How is this different from a tender alerts service or platform?
It is completely different. Alert services and platforms often send automated notifications and leave you to work everything out yourself. JGP Consultancy is a people business. You will have a named account manager who works with you and is an extension of your team. They will hand-pick opportunities that genuinely suit you and guide you through the process, holding your hand each step of the way. They will tell you honestly which opportunities are worth pursuing and then guide you through the process of winning them with support every step of the way.
Do we need our own bid writer to work with JGP Consultancy?
No. You can rely entirely on our team, or use us to support a bid writer you already have. Many clients start with our guidance and model answers, then ask us to write higher-value bids in full.
How much does it cost?
Our retained Tender Guide service starts from £550 per month plus VAT. Bid writing and other project work is quoted per bid, so you only pay for what you use.
Which sectors do you cover?
The full range of UK public sector procurement, from NHS healthcare and facilities management to construction, rail, education and logistics. If the public sector buys it, we can help you win it.
Can you write the whole bid for us?
Yes. Our APMP-trained bid writers can take a response from a blank page to a submission-ready document, written to the published evaluation criteria.
