🎉 100 subscribers... thank you!

That might not sound huge in YouTube land, but it means a lot to me, beacause every one of you chose to follow a channel about public sector tendering… and that’s pretty special.

I get asked this a lot:
“Why do you give so much away for free on YouTube?”

My answer: Because not every business has the budget for hands-on support, but plenty do have something worth offering the public sector. I don’t want lack of access to knowledge to be the thing that keeps good suppliers out.

Yes, I need to make a living.
And if you need proper, hands-on support, I can absolutely step in (for a fee), and I’ll do a bloody good job of it, too.

But if you’re doing this yourself? Fill your boots.

This channel is here to help you make sense of tenders and feel confident having a go yourself.

Got a topic you want covered next? Drop it in the comments 👇
The more useful the content, the more the channel grows, and the more businesses I can help.

Because the more small businesses winning government work, the better.

Let's win some tenders! 👊

Behind the Scenes: Editing the G-Cloud 15 Pricing Video

Here’s a little peek at me in full “editing mode” getting the new G-Cloud 15 pricing video sorted.
Lots 1A and 1B are by far the most complicated parts of the submission… This video breaks everything down step-by-step... the pricing mechanism, baseline pricing, onboarding, discounts, CPI, SPPI… the whole lot.
