bid writing
In good and bad economic times, public and private bodies make funding available to support activities that can be run by schools, colleges and universities, by the voluntary sector and communities, and by businesses.
Bidding for funding is time-consuming, requires the gathering of supporting evidence, and the use of a writing style that convinces the funders of your case. You may only require these skills on an occasional basis for a concentrated period. We can provide the support to get your bid in on time, and present your case in the best possible way.
If you invite us to help you bid for funding, we will analyse the grant requirements, gather internal and external evidence to support your case, and draft the documentation. Remember that funding agencies often have specific policy goals to meet for Europe, or the UK government. We will write your bid in a style that appreciates those objectives, but matches with your capacity to deliver the required outputs.
We can assist you with the words and the numbers. Often bids require one, two of three-year cash flow projections and spending patterns. We can produce the policy arguments and the financial profile that will enable you to bid with confidence.
Our clients include:
Universities
Private-sector businesses
FE colleges
Voluntary-sector organisations
All of these have used our services to draft funding bids for ESF, regional development agency, and lottery funding.
Our successes
We have written successful bids for clients for the current ESF round 2007-2013. These are regional projects with significant budgets.
