Expert, empathetic bid support
Chief Executives and Managing Directors often have to develop bids for contracts whilst managing day-to-day operations with little to no support. This can be a stressful and lonely experience for leaders, especially when the income is critical to the future of the organisation. Full bid management and writing services are beyond the budgets of most smaller organisations.
That’s why Bid Buddy is here to help smaller charities, social enterprises and SMEs deal with the challenges of competitive tendering.
By offering an accessible and cost-effective bid support service, charities and social enterprises across the UK can have access to extensive tender expertise, providing practical, actionable advice and an empathetic coach during funding application processes.
