Finding nursing tenders

Most people, when searching for nursing tenders, will simply type those words into Google. Afterall, most of us are used to counting on search engines for results. When you search ‘nursing tenders’, you’ll be met with countless results. There will be thousands of sites alone that feature possible opportunities. The issue is scouring through them all to find a contract suitable for your business.

Most of these websites will not feature a system of making it easy to find out details. You may be looking for a contract specifically in Yorkshire, for example. You may have to spend hours reading tender documents trying to find out where each contract is based. This process can quickly become tedious. You could be spending this time more effectively. Running a business is hard enough without having to stress over finding nursing tenders.

3 points to take into consideration when you’re bidding for dental tenders

1.    Qualifications

It should go without saying that as dental tenders require medical practitioners to bid, they will require extensive standards. After all, any contract within the healthcare sector should have one central aspect – the quality of patient care. And that can only be verified through several qualifications and regulations. Ultimately, when you’re considering whether to bid, you need to ensure that your qualifications match those needed.

2.    Social value

In the public sector, social value is important in the tendering process, weighing as much as 10% in evaluation criteria. Once you provide evidence that you’re adhering to this model of values, you’re chances of winning a dental tender will increase. To demonstrate social value, buyers are looking to see how you are:

  • Supporting COVID 19 recovery – How is your business aiding the local community in recovering from the effects of the pandemic?
  • Tackling social inequality – Do you have functional discrimination policies in place?
  • Fighting climate change – How are you ensuring your sources are sustainable? What are you doing to reduce wastage?
  • Providing equal opportunities – Are you ensuring that anyone regardless of sexuality, race and disability has equal chances of recruitment?
  • Supporting wellbeing – How are you ensuring the health and wellbeing of your patients? Are you actively helping them maintain a good life?

3.    Time management

Keeping on top of dental tender deadlines should be a top priority. If you miss the deadline, you simply won’t be considered. We recommend creating trackers to ensure you meet the deadline. Set internal dates to work towards and organise progress meetings. These will improve team cohesion and help provide a consistent tender response.

What are hospital bed tenders?

For those not in the know, hospital bed tenders represent part of the procurement process. Organisations such as the NHS publish a tender, and they select a suitable supplier from the bid responses.

3 tips for future success in your tender responses

1.     Successful bid management

Any successful suppliers will tell you that bid management is a crucial component to their success. The buyer knows how much you’ve invested into a bid. There are many strategies out there for bid management but keeping ahead of deadlines should be a high priority. If you fail to meet the deadline, your response simply won’t be accepted, regardless of its quality. So, organise progress meetings with your team to showcase your collaborative capabilities. Set internal deadlines so that the bid is broken down into achievable chunks. All of these bid management tools will set you up well for bid success.

2.      Address every question

Too many suppliers provide too much/too little information on questions, and they don’t focus on the ones that count. In your response, take time aside to focus on the questions regarding:

  • Patient care
  • Risk mitigation
  • Performance management
  • Customer services.

These are the questions that will provide you with the best chance to sell yourself. Be careful to avoid marketing material or irrelevant information. This will only work to confuse and irritate the buyer, and that’s the last thing you want as a supplier.

3.     Relevant case studies

Case studies are vital in responding to hospital bed tenders. It’s even more important that they’re relevant to the contract you’re bidding for. This also goes for testimonials. Both forms of evidence help provide a snapshot of your capabilities. It’s advised that you should provide three case studies from the last five years. Ultimately, the closer your previous work is to the contract, the better.

Conclusion:

So, we’ve reached the end of this blog on hospital bed tenders! We’re sure you’ve got a good grasp on these contracts. What if you need a recap? We’ve got your back!
