Our Bid Writers Experience writing to Government (Public Sector)
We are skilled in navigating the contract and mandatory requirements of the major public sector procurement organisations in York such as the:
- City of York Council: To win contracts with Council you have to show a commitment to the local economy and provide a robust social value response. You also need to score well in experience and methodology and showcase your experience, expertise and credibility – especially in delivering contracts to the public sector. Our team has worked on bids to the City of York Council for businesses from different industries such as cleaning, catering, security and asset maintenance and management.
- North Yorkshire Council: We have written bids and tenders to North Yorkshire Council for a variety of services. A commitment to the entire region and evidenced delivery of social value is critical to win these bids. Our experience is that the challenges facing North Yorkshire Council differ from the City of York, and it’s important to demonstrate insight into these challenges if you want to be successful. We also assist with writing bids and tenders to other local Councils such as Harrogate Borough Council and Scarborough Borough Council.
- Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO): Information on our extensive experience writing framework applications to YPO can be found here.

Tips and strategies to win contracts in York
Through our experience helping clients in York win government and private sector contracts, we have strong insights into what works and what doesn’t. One key aspect of any bid or tender is delivering quality social value initiatives in York. This is particularly critical in government tenders. Examples of possible initiatives include:
- Buying from local businesses: A robust local procurement plan is critical to helping you win. You need to develop a robust local procurement plan and identify businesses in York and the wider Yorkshire area that you can purchase from. Include then in your bid.
- Create local jobs in York: As part of your bid or tender, you should incorporate an employment plan that ensures you focus on hiring local in York (or Yorkshire). Hiring and training local residents as part of the contract should be prioritised where possible.
- Skills transfer and development: Depending on the type of contract you are looking to secure, there may be specialised skills involved. In order to transfer your specialist skillset and boost the skills of the local community, you can consider providing training programs and skills development programs as part of your bid.
- Community engagement: Supporting local charities, sponsoring community events, or volunteering are all great ways to improve community engagement as part of your bid. You can also contact and look to work with York specific disadvantaged groups as part of your bid and support projects that address social issues.
We’ve helped business and organisations write proposals for government contracts at all levels including to the City of York Council as well as the federal government. We can also assist you with private sector tenders and are able to provide examples for tenders as well as strategies to help you write wining proposals.
Our Director, Jason Cooney, is hands on in all the tenders we assist with, and our team brings a wealth of proposal writing experience.
Client testimonials
We used the team at Tsaks Consulting UK to help with a recent bid we were working on in York. They are very professional, responsive and experienced. They know bids and tenders inside out and understand the different frameworks. The whole experience and ITT response preparation ran smoothly and they were focused on helping us win. The first, second and third draft of the bid were substantially different. It evolved and they continuously improved it. Overall, would recommend them to any business in York looking to win more tenders or increase their bid success rate.

We are an asset maintenance business in York with a focus on electrical, plumbing, repairs and general building maintenance. We solicited the services of Tsaks Consulting to assist us with writing a critical bid. It was a must win and we had a lot of jobs riding on this contract. The Tsaks Consulting team were great. They ensured we complied, developed a compelling bid and integrate our response with evidence. They did a lot of things that we simply wouldn’t have done if we wrote the bid ourselves.
They are responsive and professional and helped us win.
