Our Track Record
From national frameworks to specialist care contracts, here's how we've helped SMEs compete, score highly and win across the public sector.

Government Commercial Agency (formerly CCS)
G-Cloud 15, Lots 2b & 3
From September 2026, up to 8 years
GCA G-Cloud 15 Framework Bids
9 clients, 21 service lines, all on time
The overview
BWS worked with 9 clients across 21 service lines, supporting bids for Lot 2b (SaaS) and Lot 3 (cloud support) on the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud 15 framework. Nine services were brand new to G15, while the rest were refined and enhanced from existing G14 listings.
The challenge
Each client approached us close to the submission deadline, and fundamental changes to the lot structure meant existing G14 content needed careful review rather than a simple carry-over.
Our approach
Senior, specialist writers divided the work so every submission was prioritised
A bespoke, user-friendly template built on the GCA requirements
End-to-end portal submissions and service definition documents
The result
Every submission across all 9 clients was compliant, strategically positioned and completed on time, without compromising on quality.

Hertfordshire County Council
Preventative Support Services for Children and Young People
Children and young people with SEND, looked-after children and those on the edge of care
Hertfordshire Children’s Care Framework
Limited bid experience, top-scoring submission
The overview
Our client, a specialist UK care provider supporting children, young people and vulnerable families, secured a place on Hertfordshire County Council’s Children’s Care Framework. With limited previous bidding experience, they needed hands-on support, so BWS led the bid from start to finish.
The challenge
Extensive compliance requirements and complex quality questions covering safeguarding and SEND support, with limited existing bid collateral and a tight submission timescale.
Our approach
Structured bid leadership, managing the timetable and drafting every quality response
Close collaboration to turn our client’s knowledge into evidence-led answers
Multiple review rounds focused on achieving the highest possible score
The result
The submission scored extremely highly, securing our client a framework place for 4 years with an optional 2-year extension.
“I’m over the moon for this client to have been awarded the contract, they were definitely the right company for the job.”

The Guinness Partnership
GCA (formerly CCS) RM6315
UK-wide, across 7 regions
Guinness Partnership Fleet Telematics
Top scorer on quality
The overview
Our client bid to deliver a cloud-based fleet telematics solution for The Guinness Partnership’s national vehicle fleet under the GCA RM6315 framework. They finished as one of the top bidders on quality, missing out on price alone.
The challenge
Translating complex telematics technology, from system architecture and AI functions to mobilisation and performance reporting, into clear, high-scoring responses within strict word limits.
Our approach
A full specification review and gap analysis, followed by detailed research
Structured discussions with the client’s technical teams
Multiple review stages to maximise alignment with the evaluation criteria
The result
The quality submission, which was our responsibility, stood among the strongest in the competition. Our client lost on pricing only, which we count as an internal win.
“Rhiannon was very switched on when it came to giving our company advice around bid writing. She produced drafts in a swift and professional manner which was important to us when the deadline was approaching fast.”

Fusion21
Water Hygiene Services Framework
Framework position awarded
Fusion21 Water Hygiene Framework
Strict word limits, winning submission
The overview
Our client, water hygiene specialists across public and private sector buildings, engaged BWS to support their submission to the Fusion21 Water Hygiene Services Framework, a major opportunity to grow their service capacity.
The challenge
Adhering to strict word count limits while still maintaining technical clarity and evidencing compliance in every response.
Our approach
Every response structured around the evaluation and scoring criteria
Drafts refined internally and with the client for efficient feedback
Internal deadlines set to allow client review and supplementary documents, including pricing matrices
The result
Our client was awarded a position on Fusion21’s national Water Hygiene Services Framework, opening the door to public sector bodies across the UK.
“It provides a quality bid which is written by engaging bid writers who are interested in our business and helping us succeed. They become a part of our business.”
