Following a highly complex and technical tender exercise, we have now been awarded a contract with our local council. I would like to take this opportunity to point out the key role that Brunton Bid Writing played in this contract award. This was our first contact with Fiona and I can say right from the initial conversation I was inspired by her drive and determination to help us win this business. Her diligence and attention to detail is second to none and ultimately proved pivotal to this award. Fiona is now on my speed dial list and will be instrumental in all future procurement projects we may undertake.
Robert Thompson Acting Managing Director, ANA Nursing & Care Services Ltd
For the last 20 years, we have supplied niche legal recruitment services to law firms in London and have become experts in our field, however this expertise did not extend to writing tender documents. To put it simply, we had failed to win some tendered business until we started working with Fiona. Since then, we have become a key supplier to two further "Top 10" London law firms with her assistance and we're delighted with the return on investment.
James Moorhouse Managing Director, JM Legal Ltd
Having worked with Brunton Bid Writing regularly over the last 6 months, we have found Fiona and her team to be both professional and constructive with their advice. By utilising the service, we have improved our ability to win more contracts through the tender process.
Stephanie Brown Managing Director, Galaxy Group Holdings Ltd
Fiona Brunton's tender writing service has added key value to the expansion strategy of our company. The business wins started almost from the first day we made contact. Her technical expertise in the industry has yielded far greater results than I ever anticipated from such a service. Fiona is speedy, agile and works exceptionally well under pressure and at very very short notice to produce outstandingly professional work. Fiona has proved a key ingredient to our success story and we will continue using her for future tenders. To us Brunton Consultancy is not just a tender writing service, but a professional business winning partner for our agency.
Robert Kal Managing Director, EVRO Recruit
Having used an outside company to help in in the tendering porocess in the past and repeatedly failed to get through the PQQ stage, we decided to look on the internet for a company with recruitment tender writing experience. Our search led us to Fiona Brunton. Fiona's understanding of the recruitment industry immediately inspired confidence as she has worked extensively in this sector. When our next tender came up we called on her services and were greatly impressed by the breadth of her knowledge and experience in pulling together the necessary information which she presented in a thoroughly professional manner. I'm pleased to report that we have improved our success rate and find that by involving Fiona in the initial stages of deciding whether to tender or not, we have saved a great deal of time and money. Because she is independent to our business, she is able to provide the best objective support possible. We have now been using Fiona's services for over 12 months and strongly recommend her to any recruitment company as either a one-off resource or as retained support.
Stephen Nickson Managing Director, Dats Holdings Ltd
Active Solutions has utilised the experience and skills of Fiona and Arleen during the last two years to enable us to secure positions on the first tier PSL of two major engineering companies. We would not have been able to achieve this without their input. We now have them set up as our only supplier for assisting with tender documentation. We highly recommend them.
Anton Muller Managing Director, Active Solutions Ltd
Fiona is the leading tender writer for the recruitment sector. Working to a very short deadline, Fiona put together a fantastic tender and also provided us with lots of insightful advice along the way. Fiona has a wealth of experience, is highly professional but also very personable and above all understands her clients' needs. Fiona saved us time, money and stress and we would not hesitate to recommend her.
Kieran McGorrian Account Director, Aquilas Ltd
Thank you for your help in preparing our tender response - it proved totally invaluable and we would not have won the contract without you. The complexity of both the PQQ and the tender itself were totally daunting for us, however your experience and enthusiastic approach allowed us to present a structured, well thought out and thoroughly professional response. It is virtually impossible for a company the size of GEL to compete for major contracts against much larger competitors, however with your assistance we have not only provided a good account of ourselves, but we are the only small company to have been awarded the contract.
Janet East Managing Director, GEL Appointments Ltd
We have tried a number of external resources to assist in our tendering with little success, so we are absolutely delighted to have engaged Fiona and her colleagues. Their pragmatic approach combined with a creative flair and fresh ideas has given our bids a winning formula and to date as a team, we have been 100% successful. They almost make tendering enjoyable!
Judy Freeman Director, Monarch Recruitment Ltd
Fiona has worked with Equal Approach in the successful preparation of a number of high profile bids and tenders over the last few years, all of which have been delivered professionally and with strong positive results. In addition to her strong skill base, Fiona has a good sense of humour which takes some of the tedium out of tender writing and makes it more interesting and fun! Highly knowledgable in the subject, Fiona is a key component in our business arsenal. I would, and frequently do highly recommend her for a variety of recruitment based business services.
Dawn Millman-Hurst Managing Director, Equal Approach Ltd
We are a specialist niche provider of Sales, Marketing, Advertising Operations and Research professionals in the niche Media, Interactive and IT sectors and have always prided ourselves on building our business based on service excellence, provision of the best candidates and developing strong client relationships. In this respect, our market is changing and with the introduction of procurement as a strong influence on PSL status, we searched for an expert to help us to construct tender documents that win business. Brunton Consultancy has provided us with a highly flexible and professional service, enabling us to meet tender evaluation criteria and to date, has delivered a 100% business win rate - a pretty high level of return on investment!
Vivek Nath Managing Director, DNL Recruitment Ltd
When SGL Solutions was formally invited to tender for one of the largest Building Societies in the UK, we were understandably excited but also anxious to understand how to tackle the in-depth process bid effectively. Employing the services of Brunton Consultancy proved invaluable. Fiona provided expert knowledge and advice, giving us the confidence to complete the tender accurately and within the tight time deadline. We have now been shortlisted as a potential supplier and are very grateful to Brunton Consultancy for their hands on help and advice.
Lewis Greene Managing Director, SGL Solutions Ltd
We have used Brunton Consultancy to assist us in writing tender documents and presentations on a regular basis since May 2006, and have found the service to be extremely responsive and successful. In recruitment, everything is deadline driven, and we have often asked Fiona to work to seemingly impossible timescales, and she comes up trumps time and again. Fiona's input has enabled us to win business with corporate organisations on an international basis that would have otherwise eluded us - in fact, she has become the bid writing department for our company!
Mark Bettridge Managing Director (up to May 2011), Swan IT Recruitment Ltd
We discovered the service of Fiona Brunton with only a week to go to the deadline of a tender for a major national client. With our document only half finished, Fiona rose to the challenge and presented us with a completed document that was highly professional and that met the criteria of the client, resulting in us being appointed as a preferred supplier. Fiona is clearly an expert in her field and her calm, professional approach, ability to meet tight time deadlines and the overwhelming confidence that she gave us has resulted us vowing to never prepare a tender ourselves again and instead use the services of Brunton Consultancy every time. Fiona is truly our Corporate Fairy Godmother!
Sally Lelliott Managing Director, Employment Plus Ltd
I just wanted to say thank you for your assistance with our recent PSL pitch and to let you know that we have been awarded a 3 year contract to supply accountancy and finance staff on a national basis. I will certainly be in touch again in the future.
Gillon Tadman Director, Communicate Recruitment Solutions Ltd
Morgan Hunt is an award winning recruitment consultancy that provides specialist staff into the public sector. We use Brunton Consultancy to produce vital policies and procedural documents that are crucial for our internal direction, but are also needed for inclusion in response to tender documents. We have always received an excellent all-round service which is highly responsive and flexible, meeting our brief precisely. Fiona shows an ability to customise her approach to fit our business requirements and meet our extremely short deadlines. She provides a friendly, efficient and cost effective service and we would definitely recommend her.
Helen Stokes Director, Morgan Hunt Ltd
From our first contact with Fiona we were impressed with her quick response in providing us with support on our tender for the NHS PASA Framework Agreement. Working side by side with Fiona on completion of the tender documents, she demonstrated her extensive knowledge of competitive bidding in the recruitment sector. Fiona is very focused, thorough and worked on this tender and subsequent e-auction as if it was for her own business. Our experience with Brunton Consultancy has been fantastic and we feel that they are a part of our organisation, supporting us in our business growth. Brunton Consultancy is more than just a consultancy service, they are a business partner who will always be there for your organisation.
Peter Mukono Managing Director, KCare Nursing Agency Ltd
We regularly use Brunton Consultancy for tender writing support. Bid writing is incredibly time consuming for us, and means that we are having to pull fee-earning staff off the 'day job' in order to complete these documents. Fiona provides advice on how to respond to the tender questions effectively, and writes the final document, enabling us to outsource the entire process and free us up to do what we are good at - placing people into jobs. Using Brunton Consultancy for tender writing saves us time and money, and gives us the best possible chance of winning new clients with the minimum impact on our day-to-day business.
Ken Wood Director, Network Recruitment Partnership Ltd
We recently used the services of Brunton Consultancy to produce a recruitment tender for a prestigious, high value contract. I found the tailor made service to be highly professional yet friendly and it proved to be an effective resource for our business. Fiona's expert knowledge and hands on approach was invaluable throughout the process and I would highly recommend her services.
Claire Haggar Director, Ambitions Personnel Ltd
When one of our most valuable clients announced that they were going to go through a formal tender process to review their preferred suppliers list, we were very concerned. It was then we requested the assistance of Fiona from Brunton Consultancy who worked hands on with us to complete the documents in the required timescale. Fiona helped us to write both the PQQ and the tender, and assisted us with advice on contract negotiation, enabling us to submit a compliant and competitive bid and retain the business. We were very grateful to Fiona at Brunton Consultancy for invaluable help and advice in our hour of need!
