How to sell your goods and services to UK government agencies
At Thornton & Lowe, we have been investing in bid writing and management technology for over 12 years. Our journey began with the development of our own Tender Library system, designed to find relevant bid content efficiently. We then introduced Tender Pipeline, our free software for discovering tenders and monitoring competitors. Now, AI bidding software is the next step for our industry, offering opportunities to enhance efficiency in both bid management and bid writing.
Afraid not...
As a bid writing company, we are inundated with new AI bidding software and solutions, which can change the way we work and drive efficiencies. ChatGPT We define AI as: "AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the simulation of human intelligence in machines designed to perform tasks that typically require human cognition, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving."
The main AI bid writing and bid management tools on the market today are focused on:
We have used, trialled and evaluated a huge number of AI bid software products and we are happy to advise on the best option for your business. This forms part of our AI Solutions Partner detailed below.
Yes. However, this does not mean we take your tender questions, stick them into the ChatGPT and cut and paste the answer out. We can 100% confirm this will not produce the tender answers you need and will not win tenders!
For example, Tender Pipeline is built using elastic search, which is a power AI search function to ensure accuracy for the user.
AI generally and content creation, as a result of innovations linked to natural language processing, is now quite well known. But AI is not new and has been used by the vast majority of us for years, both in business and at home!
For bid writing specifically or any writing to come that, many organisations use Grammarly to reduce mistakes and errors in content. This a great tool. Like Microsoft word, it is tool which is there to help. This is what AI bidding products are.
Just to confirm - your email, phone, news feed and Alexa all use AI. Even your bank use AI, which is increasingly important in fraud detection, for example.
At Thornton & Lowe, we use both our in-house bid tools and several third party AI bid solutions. This helps us ensure consistency and work efficiently, but it certainly doesn't write the tenders or manage bids for us!
If you are using AI bid writing in procurement is now a common question in tenders.
In short, yes you can use AI when writing bids and responding to tenders. However, if requested, this should be declared and you should have an AI bid writing process and systems which ensure the bid is still accurate. The Government has produced guidance on this within their Improving Transparency of AI use in Procurement document.
AI is only a tool and requires full management, edit, value add and review.
Choosing the right AI tools for your business is not an easy decision, especially when the technology available is constantly changing and new options seem to appear on the market almost daily! Let Thornton & Lowe support you in selecting, implementing, and developing AI bid software products and systems, which are tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you are looking to create your own AI bid technology, purchase existing products, or enhance your current systems, let's discuss your needs and requirements and ensure you have a solution which is fit for purpose.
Our AI Bid Software Services:
Winning tenders is critical for many businesses, and we fully understand you want do this as efficiently as possible in order to maximise your return on investment.
We developed our first AI Policy over 2 years ago now and have since supported clients with the same. This is an area you need to get right, especially when it comes to bidding. You need to know which AI product is good for which task and also any risks associated with it! What is on the 'yes we can use list'?
As we work across both procurement and bid management, we recently evaluated a full tender submission completed clearly using AI content generation! With literally no changes, edits or refinement. It was of course a terrible response and didn't score well at all. Ensuring your sales, marketing and bid teams use AI bidding products wisely is key! They are a tool only, not a replacement for good bid strategy, planning, innovation and good bid writing.
You may also find our Ultimate Guide to Bid Writing and our data management content focused on ISO27001, useful, as you need to ensure you bid data is protected.
Over the last 12 months we have been including AI bidding solutions, quick wins and best practice into our bid writing courses, bespoke tendering workshops and webinars.
Our training courses are a quick way to improve bid writing skills and also learn some AI bidding hacks along the way!
We are happy to discuss your options - hello@thorntonandlowe.com - 01204 238046
Our bidding products have been designed to support our bid writing team. Our core business is the supply of bid writing consultancy to organisations looking to win public sector contracts. However, both Tender Library and Tender Pipeline both use AI but focused on ensuring highly accurate and relevant search queries.
Tender Pipeline is a tool that performs a vital function in the bid process. It offers live tender alerts and results and can be tailored to your business needs, sending opportunities directly to your email, ensuring you never miss an opportunity. It is also widely used by procurement teams as a market research tool to find potential existing frameworks and monitor key contractor wins to understand key suppliers based on location and category/ keyword.
Tender Library is another integral component of bid technology that can help you manage and find previous content, responses to your quality questions. The tool provides quick and easy access to your prior bids, making referencing and comparison a breeze. Tender Library also assists in the crucial bid/no bid decision-making process, enabling you to make informed choices on which tenders to pursue. With its focus on deadline management, the Tender Library ensures that all tasks are completed on time, contributing to a streamlined and efficient bid process.
Go to Tender LibraryYou can also take a look at RFPverse who have collated the key bid management software tools used in the UK, and beyond.
RFPVerse's purpose is to connect businesses with bid talent and technology. This of course includes proposal automation tools to making the RFP (Request for Proposal) process more efficient. It serves as a hub for finding top-rated solutions tailored to various industries, helping businesses streamline their bid submissions.

CivTech 10 - Wildcard Challenge 10.11 - How can technology help early-stage entrepreneurs by giving them the best possible information, advice and other forms of support in a way that is fast and easy to access, helping establish Scotland as a Start-Up Nation?UK Glasgow Scottish GovernmentThere is a huge range of support available for businesses in Scotland, coming from both the public and private sectors. However, finding and accessing the support most relevant for an individual business can be challenging, many of the approaches to delivery of business support rely on traditional models of delivery, and few have embraced the possibilities of advanced AI. So, this Challenge seeks to explore how technology could be applied to develop new innovative and highly effective business support models, with an initial focus on support for pre-start, start-up, and early-stage businesses.How can AI, if applied in really imaginative and innovative ways, make major beneficial impacts in this area?

CivTech 10.5 - How might we use technology to better understand the supply and demand of digital economy skills at the regional level - both today and in the future.UK Glasgow Glasgow City CouncilAction needs to be taken to address the digital and technical skills gap in Scotland. On the precipice of a transformative decade for industries, there remains uncertainty about exactly what type of digital skills will be required including the dramatic difference AI could make. This Challenge will better understand the changing needs of employers and recruiters in the market as well as the available talent emerging through education and training provision. In particular, there is little granular data available at Glasgow City Region level on both the supply and demand of professional digital skills. By using technology to understand the data and identify the gaps it will inform policy and the necessary interventions required across the Glasgow City Region.

Opportunity Seed Funding Call: Nature Computes BetterUK LONDON ADVANCED RESEARCH AND INVENTION AGENCYThis funding call specifically relates to our Programme Director Suraj Bramhavar's programme (https://www.aria.org.uk/what-were-working-on/#suraj).In Nature Computes Better (https://www.aria.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/ARIA-Nature-computes-better-v1.0-1.pdf), we're looking to fund high potential proposals with between £10k and £500k each. We initially expect to fund up to 10 opportunity seeds in this space. We're looking for bold ideas that could challenge assumptions, open up new research paths, or provide steps towards new capabilities. If you have an important idea you're obsessed with, but you don't currently have the resources or support to take it forward, we'd like to hear from you.Ideas could come from anywhere, so we welcome applications from individuals and teams who are early in their career or who have atypical backgrounds. We care more about your idea and your intrinsic motivation than we do about your CV.To help you decide if this is the right funding call for you, here's some guidance on the scope:In scope:+ Ideas that sit within the Nature Computes Better opportunity space. By this, we mean your proposal should show how your idea either aligns with or challenges the assumptions of the Summary, Beliefs, or Observations in the opportunity space document (https://www.aria.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/ARIA-Nature-computes-better-v1.0-1.pdf).+ Ideas that could change the conversation about what is possible or valuable.+ Ideas that range from early stage curiosity-driven research through to pre-commercial science and technology.Out of scope:+ Ideas that target Suraj Bramhavar's goal of Unlocking AI Compute Hardware at 1/1000th the Cost, as described in his programme thesis (https://www.aria.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/ARIA-Unlocking-AI-compute-hardware-v1.0-1.pdf). We expect to release a programme funding call in the coming months. If you are unsure whether your idea fits into Suraj's Programme thesis, ask us by submitting a question using the messaging function within ARIA's application portal (https://public.deepstreamtech.com/requests/658428a1b0e7f12e03818b5c/aria-opportunity-seed-nature-computes-better). + Ideas that are undifferentiated or that are likely to happen without ARIA support.+ Commercial or close-to-commercial stage products.Beyond this scope and our evaluation criteria outlined in the full opportunity seed call document on ARIA's website (https://www.aria.org.uk/seeds-nature-computes-better), we don't have preconceptions about what ideas you might send our way. You don't need to contort your project to fit our goals: we want to hear what you really want to do.

(NU/1866) Network Infrastructure Refresh ProjectUK Newcastle Newcastle UniversityNewcastle University’s IT Network is the enabler for all the IT Services which underpin Newcastle’s critical business functions, teaching, and research.The existing network infrastructure has been in place for nine years and has reached the end of its supportable life. This, coupled with the incumbent supplier Huawei pulling out of the UK market and the University’s need to improve its cyber security posture, has led to the need to replace all wired and wireless networking infrastructure across campus, satellite sites, NUMed (Malaysia) and NewRIIS (Singapore).The University increasingly depends on its network infrastructure for business-critical activities driven by increasing numbers of digital services and data growth generated through teaching, learning and research activities.The University demands a modern, fit for purpose network with up-to-date security controls in line with industry best practice and leveraging cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) to meet the University’s existing needs while providing agility to meet the future demand, capacity, and innovation to underpin the needs of the “Campus of the Future.” The upgrading of the University’s IT network is an essential step to manage Newcastle University’s cyber security risk.As well as replacing the network infrastructure (‘hardware’) the University needs to replace the underpinning network services (‘software’) to provide deeper integration into the network management tools, enabling monitoring, visibility, automation, enhancements to service reliability and cyber security.The replacement network will support the University’s digital aspirations and strategies, be easier to upgrade in the future and therefore provide a lower incremental upgrade cost and, consequently, mitigate the peril of having to replace the network in a ‘big bang’ project like this again.The University is using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation to appoint a single partner/integrator.The successful supplier will need to provide a solution to deliver the following high level business case requirements:• Re-design and transformation of the Newcastle University network• Hardware replacement, core network, campus and switch estate• Wi Fi modernisation, replacement and transformation of existing solution• Cyber security re design and resilient future proofed solution• New network tools maximising and automating standard processes• Support and maintenanceThe University invites interested candidates to participate in an initial prequalification stage, from which a maximum of five will be selected to participate in a tender processThe contract reference is NU/1866.The deadline for submitting your prequalification stage response is 16:00 BST on Friday 2nd June 2023

Scanning and Transcription ServicesUK London Home OfficeAims and Objectives of the ProgrammeThe GRO wishes to transform and modernise its existing service provision to the public and other government departments by scanning and transcribing the Records, due to:• operational and technical challenges;• the increased cost, complexity, and obsolescence risk of maintaining legacy systems; and• the current structure hindering the GRO’s ability to efficiently deliver services, both internally and externally.The GRO wishes to keep pace with the market, and ensure we are taking advantage of the new technologies including, but not limited to, AI and machine learning. Looking to the future, the volume and variety of Records that the GRO needs to manage is increasing significantly and managing them effectively and securely to support its business objectives has become increasingly complex. The GRO believes that the Services will enable it to create, handle and protect digital information more efficiently, and will also significantly facilitate and improve the delivery of services to the general public and other government departments. Therefore, the Authority has established the Programme to enable the GRO to meet its objectives and is seeking a Bidder to deliver and support the Programme’s objectives. This will involve a transformation of the way that the GRO accesses Records and how it shares the information contained within them. This will not only require the delivery of the Service, but also require transformation of business processes and the (re)deployment of tools and resources that support these processes. The Authority expects the Bidder to deliver the Service following implementation and to drive continuous improvement with the goal of reducing the reliance on human intervention in the process and enabling the Authority to reduce costs.The Authority is seeking to appoint a Bidder to deliver the Services. The Bidder needs to be able to meet the Authority’s requirements and must be capable of delivering highly secure and complex Services for a contract term of five (5) years. The Authority expects the Bidder to deliver the following capabilities:• Record Handling Process: Authority;• Scanning Process; • Transcription Process;• Data Management Process; and• Quality Assurance Process.

Student Assessment/Diagnostic Evaluation Software PackageUK LUTON University of BedfordshireThe University is sourcing a student assessment/diagnostic evaluation software package. The University of Bedfordshire has strategic priority (as defined in our APP) to address student retention, attainment and success. One of the institution's key approaches to this is to address students' abilities to write effective assessments and to support students' assessment journeys. We are seeking a supplier who can help students to understand how to improve their academic writing skills and to help our students' develop their academic voice. In responding to the requirements in sections A through I suppliers are required to focus their responses upon this approach. The successful supplier will need to fulfil this role by providing 24 hour day / 365 days a year with a fully scalable service which may see up to several hundred units worth of submissions in one day at peak times. In addition the University is looking to adopt standard diagnostic assessments for new students, these will augment our existing support services and support our understanding of our students' skills. The system may be expanded to all the University's 16,000 UK-based students, though the initial priority groups will be foundation and first year students (typically around 6-7,000 students). There are five high-level requirements for a potential system: firstly, that the system is externally hosted; secondly, that feedback is provided by a human assessor (rather than AI) - because we anticipate students will have questions which require a human evaluation; thirdly, that the system provides reporting mechanisms enabling the University to review progress of student engagement; fourthly, that the system and feedback provided to students will be via an online environment accessible via a range of devices; finally, that the feedback provided to students complements our existing assessment practices and does not seek to provide feedback relating to subject knowledge - which is firmly within the remit of our academic colleagues.This tender will be awarded against the University of Bedfordshire's Terms and Conditions.

WCDI IT EquipmentUK Edinburgh University Of EdinburghThe innovation component of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal is focussed on the development of a Data Driven Innovation (DDI) programme to establish the City Region as the Data Capital of Europe, attracting inward investment, fuelling entrepreneurship and supporting inclusive economic growth.To achieve this, the DDI programme requires a powerful, high capacity, innovative and flexible data infrastructure capable of agile delivery of an expanding array of complex and bespoke data and analytical services. At the heart of this requirement, is the world class data infrastructure (WCDI), a critical enabler for the programme.The WCDI will leverage 30 years of investments in the internationally recognised research infrastructure provided by Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), the supercomputing centre at the University, and specifically the advanced computing facility (ACF), EPCC’s data centre on the outskirts of Edinburgh. WCDI represents a practical, flexible and cost-effective approach to the delivery of the diverse technological requirements of the DDI programme.WCDI will extend the ACF, which today hosts and operates many of the UK’s national high-performance computing (HPC) and research data services. Developed since 2003, in excess of 50 000 000 GBP has been invested to date in the ACF buildings and its data centre infrastructure. It currently houses around 100 000 000 GBP of equipment including the Archer National HPC service and is a state-of-the-art facility. A key recent development is the addition of computer Room 4, a 270 rack, 6MW room which will host the WCDI equipment.This WCDI IT equipment procurement will put in place a master contract (Schedule 5 of ITT) to allow the University of Edinburgh, acting through EPCC, to purchase the IT equipment required to create, extend and refresh, the WCDI’s data storage and compute capability. There will be an initial order placed for storage that will be written into the contract. After this initial purchase the university will continue to raise orders under the master contract, all of which shall be incorporated to become part of the master contract. The scope of what can be bought under this contract is listed below under ‘Equipment Requirements’.Equipment requirementsAs part of the Edinburgh and SE Scotland City Region Deal a significant Capital Equipment budget has been secured to implement the World Class Data Infrastructure (WCDI). Rather than spend all of this money on the first year of the 10-year DDI Programme, the spend has been profiled across the lifetime of the programme. The rationale for this approach being EPCC’s desire to build the infrastructure according to need, using a ‘building block’ approach. Such building blocks can be further observed within the Technical Requirements of the ITT (BB1 to BB9 and Data Centre Network), but can be highlighted as:— data storage: hot, warm and cold storage bricks and back-up and disaster recovery,— scale-out VM compute infrastructure bricks for the private Cloud,— accelerated compute servers,— HPC, HPDA and AI infrastructure,— cabinets and hosting infrastructure,— networking and security,— emerging technologies,— software,— installation and support services where requested by the University, and— data centre network update.

The Service will facilitate the development of a collaborative approach to imaging, reporting provision, training and research across the area. Making radiology images available across The Network will enable the more efficient use of resources, reduce clinical pathway times and increase clinical safety.The Service: The Network is looking to procure a Cloud Hosted solution which connects existing and future radiology applications. It must use open standards to ensure the maximum flexibility in local systems in the future.The Service must be:— highly reliable (see the expected service measurements and defined service priorities),— connect 12 existing instances of PACS and RIS applications,— register and understand the patient information contained in those systems and then,— make that information available to radiologists at any location within The Network.It must also serve to facilitate intelligent planning of reporting capacity, add a robust and reliable method of alerting Users to critical requirements and bring cross-organisational resources together in Networked MDT meetings.The Network understands that meeting the full Statement of Requirements may require development from a supplier and anticipate a phased approach to deployment, working with a supplier to engage clinical and administrative staff in a progressive rollout of functionality. Attention should be paid to the categorisation of requirements into Phase 1 (immediate deployment) and Phase 2 (secondary deployment).Key Functional Goals: suppliers should present a solution which can help The Network to achieve the following:Networked Working — Advancing Better Patient Care:— access to a unified imaging record of current and historical images for all patients across the Network to support clinical decision making in enhanced reporting and MDT workflows,— shared reporting responsibility across the Network to make best use of specialist capacity,— real time communication across the Network to facilitate clinical decisions and reduce delays,— management of clinical risk and care quality by implementing a clear alerting solution for key clinical pathways, critical and unexpected findings.Cross-Network Efficiencies — Workforce and Equipment:— radiology reporting which is not reliant on location and will allow for Radiologists to report on assigned cases from any location within the Network,— assignment and management of worklists across The Network to provide an efficient insourcing model using all available resources,— quick access to sub-speciality opinions and reporting groups,— teaching and training opportunities across The Network.Use of information to advance knowledge and practices:— safe access to anonymised patient data to support clinical research via open standard platforms, enabling upload to national audit bodies,— integrating clinical pathways — providing,— use of patient and performance data to advance new ways of working, using AI and machine learning to advance research,— analysis of performance data across the Network to enable efficient use of equipment and human resources.NW London Radiology Network is a National pioneer and will be the first of its kind in the UK, supported by both NHS Improvement and NHS England.
