Sue Findlay

Managing Director

BidBuddy is not your typical tender writing company. As Master NLP Practitioners and management consultants, they don’t simply push your own words around on a page and make them look pretty. Specialising in both sides of procurement (buyers and suppliers), they understand intimately what the buyer is looking for, and know just how to position you to your best advantage. They regularly evaluate tender submissions and know the standard that will set you above your competition. If you want to give writing your own responses a go on your own, try their free course on their website which will help you to understand what’s required, and how to approach it.

Check out their website for helpful services, including templates, articles, tendering tools (bid calculator) and other free stuff.
