Kittle Group

Kittle Group is a professional bid writing consultancy based in the UK, supporting clients to write winning bids and tenders since 2014. We understand that preparing high quality bids takes skill and time – but with Kittle Group’s professional bid writers by your side, you can quickly increase your chance of success, and beat the competition.

What sets Kittle Group apart is our investment in quality. Each of our bid writers has been trained and developed in-house so that their written responses best showcase our clients’ strengths and clearly present Buyers with exactly what they’re looking for. Our methodology is based on our Managing Director Alan Kittle’s 20 years’ procurement experience including as a Director of a major Central Government Department, and advising the European Commission on their processes. Kittle Group now leverages these insights from the ‘other side’ of procurement to help our clients win.

Our services

Our support extends beyond just being a bid writing partner; many of our clients use all our services, while others use us to bring specialist, targeted insight into their existing bid functions. Our versatility and flexibility will help you manage busy bidding periods, or simply take the stress out of bidding.

1. Bid and tender writing. By outsourcing your writing, you can be confident of its quality and instead focus on what you do best – running your business. Our trained writing team will get to know you and your operation, draw out your solution in detail, and convert this into responses that are clear, compelling and, more importantly, score highly against the evaluation criteria. Our service includes built-in quality assurance from experienced Senior Writers, as well as proofreading, at no extra cost.
2. Bid management. Our bid management experts can run the entire bidding process on your behalf. This will include clearly defined roles, aligned objectives, a cohesive project plan, and a robust governance and review process – all simplifying and de-stressing the process.
3. Bid reviews. Our Senior Writers offer a full bid review service to check your responses prior to submission. They will act as the evaluator and provide feedback that both points out your strengths, and provides direction for improvement, by checking how well responses comply with the question, meet Buyer needs, and evidence your capability. Our practical advice will help improve your scores – both for this specific procurement, and your future bids.
4. Training and recruitment. We will take what we’ve learned from building and honing the skills of our internal team to provide you with bid writer training that is tailored to your business. We will help you identify bid writing potential in candidates and provide a high calibre of specialist training so that your business can benefit from its own sustainable internal bidding capacity.
5. Bid advisory service. Our Senior Management Team will provide industry-leading expert guidance to help you understand exactly how to win your bids, to support your growth and maximise your potential. Our Senior Management Team can help you:

• set a bid specific strategy for your must-win bids
• establish a best practice process for your pipeline of work
• design a bid function that is structured for your success.
