Welcome to our January Newsletter

Hope you and yours are keeping safe and well in these strange times. 2021 has ushered in new post-Brexit tender contract notice arrangements for the UK public sector. Opportunities are now advertised via https://www.gov.uk/find-tender with devolved administration opportunities also available via their own procurement websites. We are seeing a busy start to the year with many of our clients letting us know about some of the main opportunities coming up in 2021 that they would like to book our services for. AM Bid were thrilled with the recognition we received from APMP UK at the profession’s 2020 Awards in December – with David Gray, our Managing Director, winning the Outstanding Leadership Award and our also making the final three for Contribution to the Profession and Bid Excellence. Like everyone, we hope that 2021 sees the virus no longer looming large over all of our lives and that we will have opportunities to meet in person again, when safe to do so.

Best wishes, 
Andrew Morrison
Founder & BD Director
