“We love working with Advice Cloud and view them as a natural extension to our team. They provided excellent support and advice when we were getting started in Public Sector and continue to support us through framework applications and call off competitions. They are very professional, have experienced people, and bring a structured approach and templates that make the process a lot easier.”

Extra kudos to Joseph who steered the engagement and provided a lot of input. Highly recommended!!”

“We worked with Advice Cloud on a public sector framework bid and would highly recommend them. Communication was excellent throughout: we always knew where things stood, what was needed from us and by when. The team were always available when we needed support, and every draft came back quickly with clear, practical feedback. Their knowledge of the tender process stood out. Their templates and guidance gave us a clear structure to work to, and their attention to detail meant they spotted issues before they could cause problems at submission. A great team to have on your side for a bid. Thank you, Joseph, Rebecca, Libby and the team!”
“I've loved collaborating with Advice Cloud to address some areas we needed external support from to supplement our own knowledge. The team, in particular Kamla, Chloe and Nell, were awesome. They took the time to listen to our ask, continued to iterate with us until we had a clear brief of what would work best for us. They then delivered on this. They are thoroughly knowledgeable on the topics we worked on and listened to our questions, gave clear and comprehensive answers. They made recommendations on how we should approach the challenges at hand with best next steps to take. Thank you and look forward to future collaboration.”
“We used Advice Cloud to update our G-Cloud 15 listing under a tight deadline: adding a new module, getting GCA approval, and ensuring our services were discoverable by buyers. Chris Farthing knows the framework inside out and has the right relationships to move quickly. Rebecca and Libby handled delivery professionally throughout. They went above and beyond to get it over the line and didn't charge us for the extra time. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”

Only 3 in 10 supplier listings on the frameworks PSSS replaces have a published call-off. GCA still hasn’t said when the PSSS tender will open, and NS4 gave suppliers 6 weeks, so the suppliers who prepare early go into the application in the strongest position.
