With Thrive, your business gains more than bid support. Our Opportunity & Bid / PSL Growth Service combines opportunity sourcing, bid preparation, and professional proposal creation, giving you a dedicated in-house team without the overheads. We help you find, prepare for, and win the right opportunities while you stay focused on running your business.
Opportunity Sourcing
Unlike platforms that rely on automated alerts and generic listings, we take a more focused approach. At Nurture, we don’t just flood your inbox with every opportunity in the market, we actively Business Development opportunities that align with your business goals, capabilities, and resources.
Bid / No Bid Qualify Tool
You’ll then get access to our Opportunity Qualifying Tool, a simple, clear framework designed to help you make a fast and informed Bid / No Bid decision. With key details like requirements, deadlines, scope, and compliance checks at your fingertips, you can quickly see whether the opportunity is worth pursuing.
This combination of expert shortlisting and structured qualification helps you stay focused on high-value contracts without wasting resources chasing unsuitable bids. It means you spend more time preparing strong submissions, and less time sifting through endless alerts.
Straightforward Opportunity Summaries
Each opportunity is reviewed and condensed into a straightforward summary that cuts through the complexity of lengthy tender documents. Instead of wading through dozens of pages, you’ll see the essentials at a glance:
Deadlines – so you know exactly how much time you have to prepare.
Contract value – giving you a clear picture of the potential return on investment.
Scope of work – outlining the requirements, deliverables, and scale of commitment.
Evaluation criteria – showing you how bids will be judged, so you can align your response.
Quick Compliance Flags
Clearly highlighting any mandatory accreditations, certifications, or company policies you must have in place to be eligible for the opportunity. This includes regulatory standards, industry-specific qualifications, safety or quality certifications, and any other legal or contractual obligations. By flagging these upfront, your team can quickly assess readiness, avoid wasted effort on ineligible bids, and ensure all submissions meet the necessary compliance standards.
Risk Indicators
Flagging potential challenges such as unusually short deadlines, restrictive or complex contract terms, high levels of competition, or other factors that could impact your ability to submit a strong, compliant bid.
Deadline & Submission Roadmap
This provides a clear, step-by-step timeline for every opportunity, showing all key dates from initial shortlisting to final submission. It breaks down the process into manageable stages, helping your team plan resources effectively, avoid last-minute stress, and stay fully compliant.
The roadmap highlights critical milestones, including internal review deadlines, SME input deadlines, and submission portal cut-offs. It also flags any potential bottlenecks or high-pressure periods, so your team can prioritise tasks and focus on high-impact sections of the bid or PSL application.
By following the roadmap, businesses can stay organised, reduce errors, and ensure nothing is missed, making the process more efficient and increasing the likelihood of producing a strong, timely submission.
Gap Analysis / Preparation Checklist
Gap Analysis / Preparation Checklist – This tool helps your team identify exactly what is needed to complete a compliant and compelling bid or PSL application. It highlights any missing information, documentation, or certifications, so you can address gaps early and avoid delays.
The checklist breaks down every element of the opportunity, from technical requirements and evaluation criteria to mandatory policies and certifications. It also guides you on which sections require the most attention, ensuring your team focuses on high-impact areas that strengthen your submission.
By using the Gap Analysis and Preparation Checklist, businesses can streamline their preparation process, reduce the risk of errors, and ensure all critical requirements are met before submission. It acts as a clear roadmap to move from opportunity identification to a strong, polished application with confidence.
High Impact Sections
Not all parts of a bid or PSL application carry equal weight. This guidance helps your team focus their time and effort on the sections that make the biggest difference to evaluators, such as key technical capabilities, value propositions, case studies, or compliance-critical areas.
By identifying which sections will have the most influence on the scoring or decision-making process, your team can allocate resources efficiently, ensuring that high-impact content is polished, compelling, and aligned with the client’s priorities. This approach also reduces wasted effort on lower-value sections, helping your business submit stronger, more competitive applications with less stress.
Ultimately, prioritising high-impact sections increases your chances of success, giving you a strategic advantage over competitors who may treat all sections equally.
Builds & maintains Document Library
Builds & Maintains a Document Library – As part of our service, we create and manage a centralised library of all your bid and PSL application materials. This includes templates, case studies, company policies, standard responses, and other reusable content that your team can draw on for future submissions.
The library is designed to be easy to navigate and continually updated, ensuring your documents are always current, compliant, and aligned with your company’s brand and messaging. By maintaining a structured repository, your team can save time, reduce duplication of effort, and produce consistently strong, professional submissions for every opportunity.
Whether you’re preparing a quick bid or a complex PSL application, having a ready-to-use, organised library streamlines the process and increases efficiency, so your business can focus on high-value activities instead of recreating content from scratch.
Full bid drafting & review
Full Bid Drafting & Review – Our team takes care of writing and refining your bids and PSL applications from start to finish. We craft compelling, tailored content that clearly communicates your company’s strengths, differentiators, and compliance with client requirements.
Each submission undergoes a thorough human review to ensure clarity, professionalism, and alignment with the evaluation criteria. This includes checking for consistency, persuasive language, and completeness, as well as identifying any gaps or areas that could be strengthened before submission.
By handling both drafting and review, we provide your business with a polished, high-quality bid every time, reducing the risk of errors or missed opportunities and increasing your chances of success. Your team can focus on providing subject-matter expertise, while we ensure the bid reads professionally and strategically from start to finish.
Liaison with SMEs & management
Liaison with SMEs & Management – Successful bids and PSL applications rely on accurate, detailed information from across your business. We act as the bridge between your subject-matter experts (SMEs) and management teams, gathering the insights, technical details, and strategic information needed to create strong, compliant submissions.
Our team coordinates interviews, collects supporting evidence, and ensures that input from different departments is captured clearly and efficiently. This means your SMEs and management can focus on their core work, while we turn their expertise into structured, persuasive content for your bid or application.
By managing this liaison process, we help streamline communication, reduce bottlenecks, and ensure nothing critical is overlooked. The result is a submission that accurately reflects your capabilities, demonstrates your value, and maximises your chances of winning.
Full submission management
We handle every aspect of submitting your bids and PSL applications, ensuring that your proposals are delivered on time, correctly formatted, and fully compliant. From preparing documents for submission portals to checking attachments, forms, and supporting materials, we make sure every detail is taken care of.
Our service includes deadline tracking and milestone management, so you never miss critical cut-offs. We also coordinate final approvals, perform final quality checks, and manage the actual submission process, whether it’s online, via email, or in hard copy.
By taking care of the full submission process, we remove administrative burdens from your team, minimise errors, and give your business confidence that every opportunity is presented professionally and meets all client requirements. This allows your internal team to focus on high-value tasks rather than administrative follow-up.
Improvement & post-bid feedback
Improvement & Post-Bid Feedback – Winning bids is not just about completing submissions; it’s also about learning and improving with every opportunity. After each bid or PSL application, we provide detailed post-bid feedback that highlights what worked well and identifies areas for improvement.
This includes reviewing evaluation outcomes, assessing strengths and weaknesses in your responses, and pinpointing sections where your submission could have been stronger. We then use these insights to refine templates, content, and processes, helping your team submit increasingly competitive bids in the future.
By integrating continuous improvement into your bid strategy, your business can increase success rates, reduce repeated mistakes, and build a stronger, more efficient bid capability over time. It turns each bid into a valuable learning opportunity, giving you a strategic edge over competitors.
Presentation Design and Creation
Not every opportunity comes through a formal tender. That’s why we create professional, tailored presentations that showcase your business at its best. From pitch decks and capability statements to client-facing proposals, we make sure your message is clear, engaging, and visually impactful.
Direct Introductions
As part of our Growth Service, we offer Direct Introductions to help you connect with new business opportunities. Using LinkedIn and/or targeted email outreach, we identify and approach potential clients or partners on your behalf, positioning your agency as a trusted, relevant supplier. When an opportunity is identified, we make a personalised introduction that opens the door for direct engagement and relationship building.
