THE TECH START-UP REVOLUTIONISING PUBLIC
SECTOR TENDERS Working with the public sector can be a real game-changer for SMEs. Associated with long-term stability and excellent payment terms, public tenders can help to give SMEs the breathing room they need to expand their business rapidly, and securely.
Traditionally, getting access to public tenders comes with its own set of challenges for SMEs. In the UK alone, there are over 3,600 tender portals that hold the information for live government contracts. Of these 3,600, not one includes smart matching, a lot of them don’t have all of the same information available and generally these sites just aren’t user friendly, especially for SMEs who haven’t got the resource to dedicate team members to manually finding public tenders.
Luckily, technology is revolutionising these pain points for SMEs.
OPPORTUNI, a tech start-up based out of North East England, has developed a brilliant but simple solution that gives SMEs the fastest and easiest access to public sector tenders around. Dubbed the ‘tinder- for-tenders’, the solution smart- matches SMEs with the most relevant contracts out there, sending them directly to your inbox.
With OPPORTUNI, the tender process becomes much shorter, and much smarter. As a business owner, all you have to do is sign up on the website, fill in your details, and OPPORTUNI’s smart robots do the rest. In fact, OPPORTUNI’s smart robots are so smart that not only will they send the most relevant contracts to you, but
they’ll also send you the ones that you’re most likely to win based on your profile.
If you’re interested in a tender and are keen to write the bid yourself, then great. But if not, OPPORTUNI has a team of expert bid writers on hand to write a compelling bid for you. The time and resource that small businesses can save here is priceless, with no wasted effort researching or bidding on the wrong tenders.
In a time when resource and money can be scarce for SMEs, it’s important for all businesses to be cautious about how they spend their time and hard-earned money. OPPORTUNI has provided the perfect solution for this.
Building back better through local business
Since their inception in March of 2020 (just 10 days before lockdown), OPPORTUNI has evolved the landscape of bidding for public tenders in the UK, and beyond. Within these 18 months or so, OPPORTUNI has helped SMEs across the UK win over £400m worth of government contracts, with this staggering number growing by the day.
CEO of OPPORTUNI, Tim Ward, has 15 years of bid writing experience
under his belt, regularly advises the UK government on procurement reform, and is regarded as one of the world’s leading bid experts.
When asked about his motivation for the new solution, Tim said: “Our mission is to find great SMEs who should be winning government contracts, and ultimately make it easier for them to find these contracts and win them. These are the companies who should be fixing the roads, providing the cleaning services for our local hospitals and schools, securing our government buildings and civic centres, and so much more.
“We’re passionate about smaller, local businesses winning these contracts because of the value it has for the businesses themselves, but also because of the amazing effects it has on communities more widely. By helping to provide easy access to stable avenues of work, it can help to reinvigorate local communities, help small businesses gain the stability they need for long-term growth and security, and helps business owners to grow and provide employment opportunities for their local communities.”
