• procurement leaders, bid writing experts and, most of all, passionate small business owners…

We know how daunting breaking into the public sector can seem so we use our combined decades of expertise in public sector procurement, bid writing, entrepreneurship, training and the nitty-gritty of running a small/medium enterprise to help your organisation succeed in winning business from the public sector.

We believe that the more the public sector works with SMEs/VCSEs – the better for us all From more money going into our local economy and job creation, to smaller organisations growing and becoming more successful and the public sector fulfilling its commitment to supporting local enterprise – when SMEs/VCSEs understand how to succeed in gaining public sector contracts, we all win.

What our clients say

  • Office Odyssey is a family run business and one of the U.K.’s leading suppliers of Epson’s sustainable inkjet technology. We are a social enterprise, with at least 51% of profits going onto creating work for people with autism and other barriers to work.

    We found challenges in accessing public sector contracts, as some are flagged as not suitable for VCSEs and we were not entirely clear on what policies and procedures we needed to have in place to be successful in the tender process. The Go4Growth Tool is an excellent tool that helped guide us through the maze to ultimate success,. iIt’s well presented and contains lots of information and resources we now use to improve our tenders.
