Scoping & Kick-off
We review the tender documents, agree the scope and give you a fixed quote.
A kick-off call then confirms owners, deadlines and the evidence we need from your team.
Fill the roles your contracts depend on, with the HR groundwork that keeps you compliant.
Winning work you cannot staff is an expensive kind of success. We help you define the roles properly, write job descriptions and adverts that attract the right people, structure a fair selection process, and put the basic HR documentation in place. We provide recruitment support, not employment agency services, and we work alongside your HR adviser rather than replacing them.
Experienced writers who already know how your market buys.
A written price before we start, with no hourly meter running.
Planned back from the portal date, with time left for review.
Growing businesses hiring beyond their founders' networks, and contractors who need staffing evidence to satisfy a tender or a mobilisation plan.
Smaller suppliers often lose on the page, not on delivery. Our talent acquisition & hr support service turns your real experience into clear, evidenced answers that score, so evaluators can see what your customers already know. You stay in control of every draft, and nothing leaves without a final compliance check.
Fixed fee, agreed in writing before any work starts
Job descriptions and person specifications
Advert copy and channel plan
Interview framework and scoring sheets
Core HR document templates
We write for the evaluator. Every answer is structured around the published criteria, built on your own evidence and edited to read clearly under time pressure, because that is how marks are awarded.
You deal directly with the writers doing the work, not an account manager passing messages along, and a director reads every submission before it goes out.
A clear, repeatable process keeps every bid on schedule and every answer on target. You stay informed at each stage and approve everything before it is submitted.

A senior reviewer scores the draft the way an evaluation panel would and flags where marks could be lost.
We refine it with your feedback until you are fully happy with every answer.
We run final compliance checks and can handle the portal upload for you.
After the result, we review the feedback together so the next bid is even stronger.
Important: Gautam Group is not a licensed employment agency or employment business. We provide recruitment support — role definition, materials and process design — and do not supply or introduce workers for hire.
No. We are not a licensed employment agency or employment business and we do not supply workers. We provide recruitment support: defining roles, writing materials and designing the selection process. You engage candidates directly.
No. We provide practical templates and process design, and recommend you have an employment solicitor or qualified HR adviser review anything contractual.
Feedback from suppliers we supported on live tenders, shared anonymously at their request.
They rebuilt our quality responses from the ground up and we were shortlisted on a framework we had failed twice before. What changed was the evidence. Every claim was backed by a contract, a date or a measured result, and the evaluators noticed. The team asked sharper questions about our delivery than we had ever asked ourselves. They were honest about which lots we could realistically win, turned our site managers' notes into clear method statements, and kept everything calm when the portal deadline moved forward by a week. We now use them on every framework renewal and recommend them to other SMEs in our supply chain.
We had four days left and a half-finished submission. Their team took it over, ran the clarification questions and filed it with time to spare. We won the lot, and the debrief scores were the highest we have ever had on quality.
The bid library alone has saved us weeks a year. Our team now starts every tender with most of the groundwork already done instead of a blank page, and our answers are more consistent across every portal we submit to.
Honest advice from day one. They told us not to bid on two opportunities that looked tempting but did not suit us, which cost them fees and earned our trust straight away. The ones we did bid on, we won.
Our social value scores went from the bottom of the table to full marks across three consecutive submissions. They showed us how to tie commitments to the actual contract instead of listing everything we do in the community.
Responsive, calm and genuinely good writers. They made a small firm look exactly as capable as it is, and we now have a framework place that has changed the shape of our pipeline.
Tell us the deadline or the problem. You will get an honest view of whether we can help and a fixed quote before you commit anything.
Every bid is planned around your services, your evidence and your capacity, never a template.
We find the operational detail that proves your quality, then make it easy to score.
We measure ourselves by shortlists and awards, and review every outcome with you.
We work as part of your team, with honest advice even when that means not bidding.
Straight answers to the questions suppliers ask us most before their first tender.
Fees depend on the number of questions, the word counts and how much usable content you already have. We quote a fixed price before any work starts, and for many clients we offer a reduced base fee paired with a success bonus on award, so our incentives sit with yours.
A short quality submission can be turned around in a few days. A large framework with several lots usually needs three to four weeks. Tell us the deadline and we will say honestly whether it is achievable.
A director reads every submission, and the person who scopes your bid is the person who writes it. You deal with the writers directly, not an account manager passing messages along.
Yes. Most of our work is public procurement, but we also write private sector proposals, PQQs, RFPs and renewal submissions. Writing to a scoring framework transfers directly.
