How We Compare
We understand you may be comparing providers. Here's how Glaxtons measures against typical market offerings.
Understanding Return on Investment
Consider a framework opportunity worth £5 million over four years. At a 25% industry-average success rate, your internal bid has a one-in-four chance of success. Engaging Glaxtons at £15,000 increases your probability to 93%, a near-fourfold improvement. For the CCS CWAS3 framework, where the estimated value exceeds £30 billion (submissions closed on 21 May 2026, with the framework commencing 21 January 2027), the case for professional support is even stronger.
The mathematics are compelling: a £15,000 investment that transforms a speculative opportunity into a near-certain £5 million revenue stream represents an ROI exceeding 300:1. This is why 91% of our clients return for subsequent tenders.
Professional bid writing is not a cost to minimise. It is an investment that pays dividends.
