Why Choose Hudson Procurement Group?

• Who are Hudson Procurement Group?

• What do you do exactly?

• How does it all work?

• Why should I choose you?

Although these questions are being asked less and less due to our growing presence online and current position in the procurement sector, we still want to show you some key traits of our provision and how we work FOR YOU!

We have recognised that across all businesses nationally, contract/tender opportunities are spread so wide that it takes time and unnecessary hassle to source the right prospects for your company. Even if the right ones come through from your many subscriptions on a range of procurement portals, this may be delayed by up to 5-10 days, along with some (if not all) opportunities having zero relevance to your organisation. This is because CPV codes* are being used incorrectly on a major scale by both buyers and suppliers, with some portals not offering the full range of CPV codes available and/or delaying the release of key opportunities due to automatic processes.

*CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) Codes are used to differentiate, segment and classify contract opportunities so that your company can search and receive notifications about the opportunities aligned to your provision/offering.

With over 25 years’ experience and extensive knowledge of tender management and opportunity tracking, the creative and innovative specialists at Hudson Procurement Group is doing something that no other company is doing – We are MANUALLY tracking all opportunities that are released daily from the majority of procurement portals across the UK and take this information to MANUALLY publish daily bulletins that are not only sector-specific, but specific to your actual service. We do not rely on CPV codes, which ensures no mistake, or irrelevant opportunity will ever be sent. Every opportunity posted by public AND private buyers will be provided to you promptly, clearly and consistently on a specific platform dedicated to your sector.

We currently operate 10 industry-specific platforms including:

• Creative Tenders
• Technology Tenders
• Research Tenders
• Construction Tenders
• Hospitality Tenders
• Logistics Tenders
• Facilities Tenders
• Consultancy Tenders
• HR Tenders
• Finance Tenders 

We offer free demos with a dedicated Account Manager, who also provides live support with our platforms, however, due to the intuitive and user-friendly design, we guarantee minimal support needed.

Because customers are guaranteed to have every opportunity at their fingertips, including the value, location and brief description to what’s required, their procurement practices are effectively improved, eliminating excess time spent on sourcing opportunities and more time on developing their procurement strategies.

However, it doesn’t stop there – due to our combined knowledge and experience, we also offer Tender Consultancy, which supports clients to better understand and maximise procurement practices within their organisation. This includes impartial advice, tender writing, tender training, tender reviews and holistic support with procurement.

We have upcoming systems to support clients EVEN FURTHER in the upcoming years, which include:

• Tender VLE– a virtual learning environment dedicated to offering FREE tender and procurement training on a range of educational levels (beginner, intermediate & advanced etc.) all in VIDEO & BLOG format;
• Hudson Discover – a one-stop-shop for buyers and suppliers to use an inter-trading platform. This is to identify buying opportunities for our group of subscribers, making our portals more specific to the needs of our customers. This is already in development as per our ways of working above;
• Tender Bank– an online platform where customers can obtain multiple documents that will support their tendering efforts, including policies, matrices, methodology templates and written response templates in line with sector-specific objectives;

Tendering for Research Contracts

Reasons to bid for research contracts  broken down by our in-house experts!

We’re often told by companies that we work with that they don’t tender as it takes too long, they’re never successful, they don’t have the time…etc. etc.

Tendering for research contracts is a powerful way to generate new business, so powerful in fact that many businesses use this as their sole route to winning new business. We think every business should at least try tendering.  We understand why businesses are put off from the long, in-depth process you have to follow, but spending the time upfront to learn how to tender could be vital to the success and growth of your business.

Our Growth Director, Jill has been winning work via tendering for well over a decade, and she is sharing with you below, her top five reasons for tendering.

YOU DON’T NEED TO SELL THE NEED FOR YOUR SERVICE

Responding to Research Tenders means businesses have already established the need for your services and have allocated a budget to carry out the work.  This reduces the need for selling the benefits of the services, and establishing the benefit of investing in XYZ.

Responding to a research contract means you’ve just got to prove that you’re the best fit for their business.  Surely it’s worth a try? Just make sure you follow a strict process of what you will and won’t apply for.

THE PROJECT HAS CLEAR START AND END DATES

When tendering the client usually outlines when they would like the work to start and end, meaning you can work your studio time around this.  When selling directly B2B we often have projects on hold waiting for particular aspects.  We’re not saying this won’t happen with tendering, but your client is likely to be more prepared.

BUDGET SIGNED OFF IN ADVANCE 

As the budget has already been allocated, you know what constraints you’re working within, allowing you to best advise your client where to allocate spend.

CLARIFIES YOUR OFFERING TO CLIENTS 

You won’t always be successful when tendering, but completing a tender document often gives you additional clarity on other areas of your business, or how you can productise service offerings.  It also allows you to benchmark your fees against what people expect to pay.

RESEARCH 

Tendering allows you to see how businesses are spending their budgets.  This helps you to better understand where you should be spending your own budgets and what services are the most popular.  If you see an influx of a particular tender and this is an offering your business provides, read the Invitation to Tender documents and align your service descriptions to ensure it is suitable for the market you’re selling into.
