What a fantastic day at Your Business Expo Bedford last week!

We had a brilliant time showcasing bidcura, talking about how we support businesses with tendering and meeting so many people interested in finding new opportunities to grow their business.

One of the highlights was seeing how many people were excited to discover that there are businesses like ours here to help them navigate the tendering process, find the right opportunities and put their best foot forward when bidding for contracts.

We also came away with plenty of demo requests for bidcura and some great new conversations to follow up on.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand. It was great to meet you!

Have you seen the changes to social value in public sector tenders?

From 1 January 2027, social value must account for at least 20% of the score for relevant central government contracts worth £5m or more under the updated Social Value Model. For contracts between £1m and £5m, the minimum is 10%.

That’s a significant chunk of your score, so it’s worth looking at what your business can offer beyond the service itself.

Think apprenticeships, staff training, local job creation and supporting the communities where you work.

The important part is showing evaluators exactly what you’ll deliver, who will benefit and how you’ll measure the results. Simply saying you support your local community won't necessarily earn you the marks.

If you're planning to bid for public sector contracts, now is a good time to review how you approach social value in your submissions.

Need help strengthening your bids? We'd be happy to chat.

Friday wrap up, and what a week it's been!

Just in the last week:

🏆 Two of our clients have been awarded places on a highly competitive national construction framework. Over 170 bids went in, and only 10 companies were shortlisted per lot and region.
🏆 Three more clients are now on DPS frameworks.
🏆 Another client is through to not one but two interviews.

It's busy here right now. We've launched Bidcura, our new tender software, attended the Your Business Expo, and getting ready for our Bidding to Win workshop next week.

But the reason we do it all and the only thing that matters. Is our clients winning.

If you want to start winning too, or you're not sure how to get your business tender ready, come and join us next Thursday, 22 October, at the Forest of Marston Vale (Bedfordshire) (9am to 3pm, lunch included).

You'll walk away with a 90-day action plan to get bid ready, plus 3 months' free access to Bidcura to start finding tenders.

We've taken the content from our six-week 1-2-1 Bid Accelerator programme, which costs £4,500, and brought it together into a one-day workshop for £450.

Why?

Because I want more businesses to have access to the knowledge and practical support they need to get tender ready.

On Thursday 22nd October in Bedfordshire, we're running our Bidding to Win workshop and we'll be working through the whole process.

How you're finding opportunities, setting up your search profile, deciding which tenders are worth pursuing, understanding the documents and evaluation criteria, and making sure your business has the right information and evidence ready to bid.

And importantly, we'll be applying this to your business as we go.

You'll leave with an action plan identifying what you've already got in place, where the gaps are and what you need to focus on next.

Of course, a day isn't the same as six weeks of support, but we're covering the key foundations and giving you the tools to take the next steps yourself.

£450 for a day of practical tender training and support, based on the work we deliver through our £4,500 programme.

If you're looking to make tendering a serious route to growth, I think this will be a really worthwhile day.

We've got our last places available now.

The content and timings are staying the same, you'll just be able to join us from wherever you are.

We've also got a few more dates coming up:

📅 22nd October | Online | 9:30am–12:30pm
Bidding to Win: How to Get Tender Ready

📅 17th November | Online

Introduction to Bidding – Forest of Marston Vale, Bedfordshire

We're really pleased to be bringing back our Introduction to Bidding workshop in January after a successful session earlier this year.

If tendering is something you're looking to get into in 2027, this is a great starting point. We'll look at how to find the right opportunities, get your business bid ready, understand tender documents and put some good bidding processes in place.

Whether you're new to bidding or want to build your confidence and skills, we'd love to see you at one of the sessions.

You can find out more and book your place in the link in the first comment.

We're heading to Your Business Expo in Bedford this Thursday!

And it's a particularly exciting one for us because we'll be introducing Bidcura, our new tender search platform, to the public at an event for the very first time.

We've spent years searching for tenders for clients, reviewing different platforms and learning what makes finding relevant opportunities easier (and what just creates more work!).

All of that experience has gone into building Bidcura, so it's brilliant to finally be able to show people what we've been working on.

If you're coming to the expo, please come and find us we are on Stand 36. We'd love to show you the platform, talk about the opportunities you're looking for and how we can help you find them.

We've also got some special offers and goodies to give away on the day, so it's definitely worth stopping by.

Whether you're already tendering or just starting to explore public sector contracts, come and have a chat.

Should you bid for it?

One of the most valuable things a business can do when tendering is have a clear go/no-go strategy.

Bidding for everything isn’t a strategy. Every bid takes time, money and energy, so it pays to focus on the tenders you can actually win.

Before you commit, ask yourself:

✅ Does the budget align with the spec?
✅ Do you have the resource to bid AND deliver?
✅ Is the scoring weighting in your favour? Is it price-led or quality-led?
✅ Do you have relevant experience to submit a strong bid?

If the answer is mostly yes, go for it. If it’s mostly no, it’s OK to walk away and save your effort for the right opportunity.

LAST CALL: Bidding to Win workshop

If you want to get tender ready and start winning more work, join us in person this Thursday 22 October at Forest of Marston Vale, 9am to 3pm. It’s a practical day with our team, and lunch and refreshments are included.

Do you have to be the cheapest to win a public sector tender?

Absolutely not, and we've got plenty of client wins to prove it.

In this week's edition of The Winning Line, I'm talking about how quality and price scoring actually works and why understanding the weightings can make a big difference to which tenders you decide to bid for.

I've included a worked example showing how a business charging 10% more than its competitor can still win the contract because of a stronger quality score.

Every Monday morning we share practical tendering advice through The Winning Line, both by email and on LinkedIn. It's based on what we're seeing and learning from the hundreds of bids we work on, and the aim is to help businesses make better decisions and improve their chances of winning.

If you're responsible for tenders in your business, or you're looking to get started, it's worth a read.

You can subscribe to The Winning Line on LinkedIn or sign up to receive it straight to your inbox every Monday.
