Alchemy Your Way provides you with the flexibility to use our services as you need to, from specific workshops or tasks to days of consultancy you can use when you need them. Outlined below are some examples of our services:

Social Value Support

We offer expert Social Value consultancy, supporting you to score the best marks possible on your Social Value responses in bids and tenders. Social Value makes up at least 10% of the available marks in public sector bids, meaning bidders have to maximise their marks in this area. Our support includes:

• Scoping workshops, identifying Social Value commitments you can make

• Writing and/or reviewing Social Value answers

• Support with using the Social Value Portal.

Bid Strategy and Kick-Off

To help get you started with a bid, we can support you in developing a detailed Bid Strategy, including Win Themes, Unique Selling Points, and project timelines. We can also support you in your Bid Kick-Off sessions, ensuring that all key points are discussed and that there is a clear plan and strategy for your project.

Bid Preparation and Planning Sessions

Starting to write answers can often be the hardest part of a bid, and to support you we can plan out your bid answers, ensuring that they are correctly and clearly structured and designed to maximise your scores.

Research and Pre-Bid Engagement

One of the best ways to maximise your chances of winning a bid is to undertake comprehensive research and engagement before the bid even comes out. Talking to commissioners, potential partners, and the third sector in areas you want to work in, gives you an excellent starting point when a bid comes out. We can support you on this with in-depth area, sector, and competitor research, as well as helping you reach out and talk to other organisations and potential subcontractors.

Consultancy Days

We offer Consultancy Days, where you pay for a set number of days across a quarter, six months, or year, which you can use as required. This might include for business-development, bid process development, pre-bid engagement, research, bid writing, bid management, bid reviews, or general support and advice. Consultancy Days also have the advantage of being discounted versus our standard daily rate; the more days you buy, the higher the discount.
