More Than £2,000 of Bid Writing Support
This isn’t simply £2,000 towards having someone write a bid for you.
It’s an opportunity to have an upcoming tender supported by a specialist team that works specifically across health and social care and understands the public sector bidding process.
Big Sister Care writes around 600 healthcare bids every year and has supported more than 1,000 healthcare businesses over the last decade.
Their team regularly works with providers bidding for contracts with local authorities, NHS organisations, housing associations and other public sector commissioners.
That experience covers a wide range of health and social care services, meaning the team understands both the tender process and the sectors that care organisations operate in.
For the competition winner, that means professional support from people who work on healthcare bids every day, helping you make the most of an upcoming opportunity.
What Could the Support Mean for Your Organisation?
If you have a suitable care or healthcare tender coming up, the prize could give you access to specialist bid writing support without the usual cost.
Big Sister will work with the winner to identify a suitable upcoming bid and tailor the support to where it can have the most value, whether that’s for one bid or more than one suitable opportunity.
The aim is simple: to give one care or healthcare organisation access to experienced bid specialists at a time when that support could really matter.
