“I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for all your time, patience, and exceptional guidance over the past few months.  The support you provided has been invaluable, and I wanted to share some feedback on the experience from our perspective at Simple Touches Care Ltd. When we first came to you, we were frustrated after several unsuccessful tender attempts and unsure how to improve. From our very first introductory meeting, you put us at ease with your structured yet collaborative approach. You took the time to truly understand our business, which made the subsequent advice feel genuinely tailored to us. The detailed reviews you conducted of our past tenders were a revelation. You didn't just give general advice; you meticulously combed through our responses, the original specifications, and the buyer feedback to pinpoint exactly where we were falling short. The two review meetings were packed with actionable, practical strategies that we could immediately apply. I particularly found the document you created on the "enhancements" question incredibly helpful, it turned a weakness into a potential strength. You have fundamentally changed how we view the tendering process. You’ve armed us with the knowledge and confidence to write more compelling and competitive bids. Our decision to book an additional session to discuss the Westmorland and Furness framework revision speaks volumes, we see the direct value in your mentorship and are keen to continue implementing your strategies. Thank you again for your professionalism, patience, and for equipping us with the tools for future success.” Simple Touches Care Ltd

We also refer into other support programmes to ensure businesses get as much support as possible.

We’re planning a number of group sessions in the next couple of months so keep an eye out for further details.
