RADAR Plus

A business development team,
without the headcount.

RADAR finds the work. RADAR Plus chases it: outreach and follow-ups running in your name, bid writing support, and a named person accountable for the numbers. From £2,750 a month, scoped on the first call.

Most contractors do not lose work because they bid badly. They lose it because nobody had time to chase.

The quote goes out and is never followed up. The tender closes while the estimator is on site. The relationship with a main contractor cools because nobody spoke to them for four months. None of that is a capability problem. It is a capacity problem, and hiring is a slow, expensive way to fix it.

Where the work actually goes

Ask most contracting businesses who owns business development and the honest answer is that it is shared between the owner, an estimator and whoever has a quiet afternoon. Which means it happens when nothing else is on fire, and nothing else is ever not on fire.

The result is a pipeline that runs on memory. Opportunities are spotted and forgotten. Quotes are sent and not chased. Good relationships go cold through nothing worse than silence.

What RADAR Plus does

01 · Everything in RADAR Intelligence

The full Weekly Intelligence Report, UK-wide: live tenders, below-threshold work, the contracts that never go out to tender, the incumbent register and named contacts.

02 · A fractional business development expert

A named account manager who knows your trade, your capacity and what you actually want to win. They own the pipeline, and you review it with them monthly against the numbers rather than the activity.

03 · Outreach and follow-up in your name

Sequenced approaches to the main contractors and buyers RADAR surfaces, sent as you and answered by you. Every quote followed up on a schedule, so nothing goes cold because the week got busy.

04 · Bid writing support

Tenders and PQQs arrive as structured first drafts with the deadlines tracked, so your team is editing and pricing rather than staring at a blank document at nine in the evening.

What you get, and what you don't

RADAR Plus
  • Everything in RADAR Intelligence, UK-wide
  • A fractional business development expert and named account manager
  • Outreach and follow-up engines running in your name
  • Bid writing support, with tenders and PQQs drafted and deadlines tracked
  • A monthly review of the numbers: pipeline, conversion and what changed
  • No long lock-in. The system earns its place every month
What it is not
  • Not a lead list. We work your pipeline, we do not sell you contacts
  • Not a marketing retainer with a report at the end of the month
  • We do not price your work, and we do not sign for you
  • Not something you can buy without a conversation, because it is scoped to your capacity
Monthly, scoped on the first call

From £2,750 a month.

Where it lands depends on how much of the chasing you want us to do and how much bid volume you carry. We scope that on the first call rather than guessing at it here.

For context
  • A bid writing retainer alone typically costs £2,000 or more a month
  • An in-house business development hire runs £5,000 to £6,000 a month fully loaded, before you count the months spent recruiting
The first call

Thirty minutes. We look at what you win now, where the work is going in your regions, and whether this is worth either of us doing. If it is not, we will say so on the call.
