NEWS - bid writing partnership with the British Healthcare Trades Association

Group Coaching Session

Naomi Clews has partnered with the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) to deliver 5 bid writing training sessions for healthcare suppliers.

​BHTA approached Naomi Clews in February 2019 on recommendation from a senior figure in the NHS procurement world.   

Group Coaching Design

​Despite receiving free presentations, information and guidance before, many BHTA members still felt confused about the changing NHS landscape and how those changes would impact on future NHS tenders. 

The BHTA asked Naomi to design and deliver a bespoke NHS bid writing training. Naomi has over 17 years healthcare tendering experience (at both a local and a national level) and is well known for her ability to communicate very complex information in a very simple way. 

Bid writing training delivery

The bid writing training was designed to provide an introduction to Bid Writing and business development in the healthcare sector and followed a simple structure: 

• Plan
• Write
• Review

The aim of the bid writing training was to take delegates from zero to hero in as little as 5 hours. The bid writing training assumed no prior knowledge of the bid writing process and was aimed at building bid writing skills and confidence. 

The first bid writing session was scheduled for May 2019 and immediately sold out. A further 3 bid writing training sessions were scheduled for May and June, they also sold out. A fifth bid writing training session was delivered in November 2019. 

The bid writing training sessions were a huge success. 100% of delegates said they would recommend the bid writing training  to a colleague. The delegates really enjoyed the informative, fun and interactive delivery of the bid writing training:

Group Coaching Results

especially bids and tender writing"

a lot in the content I hadn't thought about" 

"Having no understanding of the tender process,
​I am starting to get to grips with it" ​
​

To date Naomi Clews has delivered bid writing training sessions to 70 healthcare companies and 98 delegates.
