to be a successful provider of public services, you have to earn the trust of your client.

Winning public sector business requires a solid understanding of your customers and the opportunity for them to understand you.

The objective of every bidder is to demonstrate that they will deliver high quality services and value for money. Whether you have a long track record of bidding for government contracts, or are a new entrant, the rules of engagement don't change.

hanover offers proven experience and expertise in making your bid a winner. We advise on the process and individuals involved at each stage, and define the political drivers and operational challenges which inform the tender. We implement effective contact and engagement strategies where appropriate and we identify and map the interests of other stakeholders so their concerns are addressed, providing advice on possible counter-offers when a competitor drives hard.

Throughout the process we will monitor media comment and deliver political intelligence so the risk is minimised and the backdrop to a decision is clear. As the final submission deadline approaches, we provide writing support to ensure your tender is not just a sales pitch but reflects the customer's priorities.

Our consultancy support has helped many companies in the health, defence, transport and home affairs arenas to win. Our team will ensure you receive sound advice to support your bid, calling on the consultancy expertise of those who have worked in politics and the public sector.
