The team were professional, flexible and combined bid development expertise with a personable manner meaning they were great to work with."

“50 Degrees supported Lawmed with our framework bid for NHS Scotland, working on the Social Value parts of the response. They used our existing corporate social responsibility work to craft bespoke responses, drawing on their expertise and previous experience on social value bid questions. They kept us well-informed throughout the process and were easy to work with. Their support greatly contributed to the strength of our submission. Just don’t work with our competitors!”
