Contract Bids
Strengthening bids through partnership
We work in partnership with single organisations or in consortia to bid for contracts that fit with our ethos and vision. Where a contract is social enterprise-focused or aims to deliver social value, we partner with both established experts and emerging voices to help win and then deliver that contract.
In fact, Inspire2Enterprise boasts a wealth of bid development experience and expertise. We work closely with social enterprises, agencies and organisations to help develop, on a fee-based arrangement, their bids and proposals for public service contracts.
New market opportunities
As public services become mutualised and spun out into new organisations, markets are being recreated and reshaped. Inspire2Enterprise is committed to supporting organisations in their response to public sector tenders by providing insight into these new markets.
We know the type of expertise required to meet service delivery requirements. And we can introduce social enterprises to other organisations to ensure all skills criteria are covered at point of tender. In fact, we are hugely experienced at building supply chains to meet service needs and strengthen bid credentials. We can also help build social impact measurement into bid development.
But it’s not just about reacting to contract tenders. We work tirelessly to identify and create new channels (e.g. social media or probation service spin-outs), then support social enterprises to exploit these areas of opportunity.
Access to academic expertise
And through our links to The University of Northampton, we are able to tap into a wealth of academic expertise that can also be harnessed to support bid development. We team up with experts in waste and recycling, or key innovators in the fields of art and engineering, to lend weight to contract bids and deliver value to the market.
