Opal Bid Consultants

About Us

Opal started with one simple aim: to make public sector tendering more accessible for SMEs. Too often, smaller companies are put off by the complexity of the process or feel disadvantaged against larger competitors.

As an independent consultant, I work directly with business owners, directors and teams to simplify the bidding process and give every submission the best possible chance of success. My approach is practical, tailored, and rooted in experience across every stage of bidding; from compliance checks and bid writing to full bid management and longer-term strategy.

I believe that SMEs bring innovation, value, and expertise to the public sector, and they should have a fair opportunity to compete. My role is to help level the playing field by producing bids that are clear, compliant, and compelling.
