We’re very pleased to share that our talented tender writers delivered yet another successful tender for our clients!

Frontline Healthcare Professionals Ltd are a bespoke medical insourcing and healthcare recruitment company, based in London. They also support the NHS in meeting elective care targets by providing specialist contingency workers and clinical capacity solutions across secondary care. Frontline initially reached out to Hudson in August 2021 and after working on several successful tenders together, they reached out to us again in April 2023 with an East Midlands Care Managers and Clinical Staffing tender. Due to our team’s vast experience working with healthcare companies and submitting winning tenders, Frontline were in the best position to be awarded a place on this vital framework.

Chris, Managing Director at Frontline Healthcare Professionals, informed us that he was very happy with the ongoing support that we have provided and as such, they were awarded a place on the framework!

We would like to extend our thanks to Chris for always providing all the necessary information for our tender writers to produce their best work, for being a returning customer over the years and being simply a joy to work with!

We would also like to congratulate our team, particularly our Global CEO, Jill Hudson, for her hard work and expertise, providing the content for the SQ and assisting with the tender submission. We would also like to give a special shoutout to Lauren Johnson, Adam Speight and Jason Leung for their excellent written content! A final congratulations to Ajay Kumar Nimmala for providing exceptional fully designed process flows to make the tender stand out!

This is another great result for our team, and we hope to work with Chris and the team at Frontline again in the future!

“We are thrilled to share our experience working with Hudson over the past year. Their bid writing services have been nothing short of outstanding, significantly impacting our success in securing contracts and expanding our business.

From the outset, the team at Hudson demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and a keen ability to translate our strengths into compelling tenders. Their team’s dedication to crafting well-researched and tailored bids has been instrumental in our recent contract wins. One of the standout aspects of Hudson’s approach is their meticulous attention to detail. Their proactive engagement with our team, their thorough review process, and their ability to adapt to changing requirements have consistently resulted in polished, submission-ready tenders that truly stand out.” – Chris Barber, Managing Director at Frontline Healthcare Professionals.

We’re very pleased to share that our talented tender writers delivered yet another successful tender for our clients!

Agape Medical Health Care Ltd (AMHC) are a healthcare service provider based in Dartford, Kent. AMHC specialise in providing services to care homes, hospices, private hospitals, mental health services, learning disabilities, residential homes and live-in carers. They reached out to us in May 2023 with a tender to provide care agency staff services. Due to our team’s vast experience working with healthcare companies and submitting winning bids, AMHC were in the best position to be awarded a place on a vital framework.

Hilary, Director of AMHC, informed us that they were told they had failed due to a lack of trading experience/insufficient accounting history. However, after sending the buyer some correspondence on AMHC’s behalf, the error was in fact in the buyer’s procurement process. This resulted in AMHC being accepted onto the framework, which is a great result, and a great example of how Hudson harnesses our bidding and procurement expertise for the benefit of our clients!

As a result, Hilary provided us with a wonderful testimonial (see below)! We would like to extend our thanks to Hilary and his team at AMHC for their support, confidence in our team and constant communication with our writers, allowing us to submit a winning tender.

We would finally like to congratulate our bid writing team on their hard work with this tender. We would also like to give a special shoutout to Ima Sultana Charu and Daniel Clark for their expert tender writing, showcasing yet again their healthcare sector expertise.

Working with Hilary was a pleasure, and we hope to work together again in the future!

“Hudson Outsourcing diligently managed a bid on behalf of Agape Medical Healthcare Limited, assisting us to put forward a strong written submission and handling all aspects of our SQ. When our submission was assessed, we were initially informed that our application had been unsuccessful, however, by following the expert bidding and procurement guidance of Hudson, we were able to highlight that the error was in fact with the buyer. As a result, our application was accepted, and we were awarded a place on a prestigious framework which will significantly benefit our business.” – Hilary Harrigan, Director of Agape Medical Health Care Ltd.

Winning healthcare tenders is a skill that our team at Hudson have successfully crafted over the years. We specialise in a variety of sectors, however many healthcare companies in both the UK and US come to us for help because we are good at what we do. Whether you are an SME, start-up, or large organisation, we can help you win healthcare tenders!

What are healthcare tenders?

Healthcare tenders are public offers for healthcare services or supplies that are made available by healthcare providers or government agencies.

They are generally used as a way for healthcare providers to acquire goods and services at competitive prices. These tenders may involve both public and private sector entities, as well as local and international providers.

Healthcare tenders come in many different sectors:

• Domiciliary Care
• Home Care
• Social Care
• Dentistry
• Nursing
• Medical PPE
• Medical Equipment

And more!

What are frameworks?

Frameworks ask one or multiple supplier(s) to deliver goods/services across potentially multiple locations. In the public-funded care sector, frameworks are key to any healthcare business.
Frameworks such as ones by the NHS Supply Chain, NHS Procurement Hubs and local government (Council) give SME’s and start-ups invaluable opportunities for growth. While frameworks differ between Single Provider and Multi-provider Framework Agreements, the opportunity to showcase your involvement with large contract values will only strengthen your company’s reputation.

What is a DPS?

A DPS or Dynamic Purchasing System, are very similar to frameworks and some will even use the terms interchangeably. However, there are some subtle differences.

Ultimately, DPS’ are more accessible than generic frameworks. You can apply for, and leave, the DPS at any point while its running. It is also an entirely electronic process which makes it more accessible in our modern technologically advanced age.

What do I need to bid on healthcare tenders?

If you are looking to bid on a healthcare tender, you need to know these 6 steps:

1. Understand your business’s capabilities: Before bidding on any healthcare tender, it is important to understand the capabilities of your business and ensure that it is able to deliver the services outlined in the tender.

2. Analyse the risk: Healthcare tenders require attention to detail and an understanding of the risks and opportunities associated with the opportunity. Before bidding, carefully review the tender documents and understand what is expected of you and your business. This should include assessing risk factors such as financial, expectational and the dedication of resources (including time) to bid.

3. Know the regulations? Healthcare tenders usually have specific regulations that must be followed. Are you CQC registered? Do you meet the financial threshold, number of years in business etc?

4. Consider the budget constraints: Budgets are an important part of any tender, as they will determine the success or failure of the contract. Make sure you understand the budget constraints outlined in the tender and calculate the associated costs beforehand. Your own pricing is something you have to take control of yourself.

5. Prepare your bid: Take the time to prepare a comprehensive tender response that covers all the specified requirements. Include detailed information and be sure to adhere to all deadlines set during the tender process (this includes your own internal deadlines for your bid writing team).

6. Follow the instructions carefully: Make sure you follow all the instructions exactly as laid out in the tender documents. Any errors or omissions may result in the disqualification or failure of your bid.
