Our Services

Strategic bid support, from capture to contract.

Captus provides specialist consultancy across the full bid lifecycle — from the earliest stages of opportunity identification through to final submission and presentation.

Service 01

Capture Strategy & Positioning

The most important bid work happens before the ITT is published. Capture strategy is the process of positioning your organisation to win a specific opportunity — identifying the right stakeholders, shaping the requirement where possible, building relationships, and developing a winning proposition long before competitors begin their responses.

  • Opportunity assessment and bid / no-bid recommendation
  • Stakeholder mapping and relationship planning
  • Competitive intelligence and positioning
  • Win theme development
  • Capture plan development and management
Who this is for

Mid-tier suppliers and SMEs pursuing high-value single-source or competitive contracts where strategic preparation is the differentiating factor.

Service 02

Bid Leadership & Writing

When an ITT lands, the clock starts. Captus provides experienced bid managers and writers who can lead your response from receipt to submission — bringing structure, discipline, and quality to your process at the moment it matters most. We work as an extension of your team, not a replacement for it.

  • Bid kick-off and response planning
  • Compliance matrix development
  • Question and answer planning and writing
  • Executive and management summary writing
  • Review and quality assurance
  • Submission management
Who this is for

Suppliers who lack the internal resource or experience to manage complex bid responses without additional specialist support.

Service 03

Framework Strategy

Government and Defence procurement is largely conducted through frameworks. Getting onto the right frameworks, and then converting that position into consistent call-off wins, requires a strategy that most suppliers do not have. Captus helps you identify the right frameworks for your business, develop compelling applications, and build the approach to maximise your pipeline.

  • Framework landscape mapping and prioritisation
  • Application development and submission
  • Call-off strategy and bid planning
  • Incumbent positioning and renewal strategy
Who this is for

SMEs and growing businesses seeking to establish or strengthen their position in the Government and Defence supply chain.

Service 04

Procurement Advisory

Captus brings a rare perspective to procurement challenges — the experience of having operated on both sides of major Government and Defence procurements. We advise buying organisations and project teams on procurement strategy, commercial structuring, and supplier engagement approaches that deliver better outcomes.

  • Procurement strategy development
  • Commercial framework design
  • Supplier engagement strategy
  • Evaluation framework development
Who this is for

Government departments, agencies, and defence organisations seeking experienced commercial advisory support on procurement programmes.
