48-Hour Tender Triage – Bid / No-Bid Assessment

Not sure whether to bid – or worried a tender isn’t really winnable?

The 48-Hour Tender Triage gives you a fast, evidence-based bid / no-bid assessment so you can decide whether to commit time, money and energy to a tender. You’ll get clear, written advice from a specialist in NHS and local authority-commissioned services.

🧭 What This Triage Does

• Reviews the tender pack from a bidder’s perspective – not just a high-level skim.
• Assesses fit, risk, competitiveness and deliverability for your organisation.
• Highlights blockers such as eligibility, experience, quality requirements and pricing expectations.
• Gives you a clear recommendation: Bid, Bid with caveats, or Don’t bid.
• Outlines practical next steps if you do proceed.

📄 What You Receive

• Written triage report (typically 2–3 pages) in PDF or Word format.
• Summary of key strengths, gaps and red flags for this opportunity.
• Indicative view on likely scoring potential vs. typical commissioner expectations.
• Headline view on pricing and commercial realism (not full pricing support).
• Recommended actions if you choose to bid (e.g. partners, clarifications, internal workstreams).

✅ Ideal For

• Providers who can’t afford to waste time on unwinnable tenders.
• SMEs without an in-house bid team who need a second opinion.
• New providers entering a local area or service line for the first time.
• Boards or owners who want an independent view before committing resource.

⏱ Turnaround & Process

1. Purchase this product (one unit per tender you want assessed). After checkout you’ll receive an email with a link to a short onboarding form where you can enter your tender details and upload your documents (ITT, service spec, evaluation criteria, pricing schedule and any Q&As) via Dropbox or share an existing folder link. You don’t need a Dropbox account.
2. I’ll acknowledge your order and confirm any missing documents or context.
3. Within 48 hours (2 working days) of receiving the full pack and brief, you’ll receive your written triage report.

If you need triage on more than one opportunity, simply purchase the required quantity (e.g. quantity 2 = 2 separate tender triage assessments).

If you then decide to proceed with a full bid-writing engagement, the insights from this triage can be carried straight into the full proposal.

🔒 Confidentiality

All tender information is treated as confidential and used only for the purposes of this assessment. If you prefer, you can put a Mutual NDA in place before sharing documents.

💡 Notes

• This service provides a strategic recommendation, not legal or financial advice.
• The decision to bid remains with your organisation, but the triage will give you a clear, independent view of risk and opportunity.
