Can You Answer Yes to These Critical Questions?
Do you have an objective to secure more work from the public sector?
Are you dedicated to providing exceptional service?
Do you prioritise this goal as much as maximising returns for your investors?
If you answered YES to the questions above, we’re likely a good fit.
Our mission is to assist companies to secure and deliver public sector work that they would otherwise have struggled with.
We have facilitated the procurement of billions of pounds worth of products and services for the government, utilising regulated procurement channels mandated by law and providing oversight throughout the contract delivery process.
Unfortunately, the current government procurement processes tend to favour larger corporations with extensive experience bidding for public sector contracts. This can result in a significant amount of taxpayers’ money being spent on suboptimal services as some of these suppliers are not adequately held to account.
We want to help to level the playing field.
If you’re looking to boost your tendering expertise, we’ve got just what you need! Enhance your tendering skills and knowledge with our step-by-step services and powerful free tools. We’ll guide you from campaign planning to solution delivery, increasing your chances of success every step of the way.

Who can benefit from Augmentas Group services?
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from our service, especially those that lack the in-house resources, expertise, or experience to create winning proposals.
What should I expect the service to work?
Our bidding and proposal service typically begins with a consultation to understand your needs and goals. We then review the RFP or opportunity and develop a proposal strategy that aligns with your goals and maximises your chances of winning. We then work with you to develop your proposal, which may include writing, editing, and review. We can also provide proposal management services to ensure the proposal is submitted on time and in compliance with the RFP.
How much does the service cost?
We know that pricing is a crucial consideration in your evaluation process. Full disclosure: on this page you won’t find a simple pricing table, because the cost of our service depends on several factors such as the scope of work, the complexity of the RFP, and the level of support required. Our team is there to understand what you’re hoping to achieve and draw up a proposal that you’ll be comfortable with.
Can we guarantee that you will win the contract?
No, we cannot guarantee that you will win the contract. However, we can help you increase your chances of winning by creating a compelling and persuasive proposal that meets the requirements of the RFP and maximises your strengths.
How do I know if this service is right for my business?
If your business frequently responds to RFPs or other opportunities to win contracts, but you’re not winning as many as you’d like, our bidding and proposal service could be beneficial. Additionally, if your in-house resources are limited, or you don’t have the expertise to create compelling proposals then a service like ours would be the perfect fit.

How involved do I need to be in the proposal development process?
The level of involvement required from you in the proposal development process depends on your needs and preferences. Some clients prefer to be involved in every step of the process, while others prefer to be hands-off and rely on the us to handle all aspects.
