Get ahead of the tender

Win government contracts before they’re advertised

The problem

Reacting to published tenders means you are already behind

When a tender appears on a portal, the clock is already running, and you are competing with businesses who saw it coming. Incumbent suppliers know the buyer. Well-prepared bidders have already had conversations, understood the buyer’s priorities, and shaped their approach.

If the first you hear of a contract is the published notice, you are starting several steps back.

The answer

Get in early, and get in properly

We help you work ahead of the market. We track which contracts are due to end and when, so you can act before a tender is released. We give you insight into who won similar contracts, at what value, and when those agreements expire. We source the right decision-maker and buyer contact details, and we can draft the outreach that opens the conversation. Pre-market engagement is legitimate and, under the Procurement Act 2023, actively encouraged; our job is to help you do it well and appropriately.

Frequently asked questions

Is it allowed to talk to a buyer before a tender is published?

Yes. Pre-market engagement is a normal and encouraged part of UK public procurement, and the Procurement Act 2023 supports it. The key is doing it appropriately and transparently, which is exactly what we guide you on.

How do you know which contracts are ending?

We monitor contract award data and end dates across the public sector, so we can flag renewals coming up in your target areas before a new tender is released.

Will you make the introductions for us?

We source the right contact details and can draft your outreach. You make the approach, with our guidance, so the relationship is genuinely yours.

Does this replace bidding for advertised tenders?

No, it complements it. We help you win advertised tenders too; engaging early simply puts you in a stronger position when they appear.
