About the Speaker
Kyle Jameson, Managing Director and Lead Bid Writer at TenderHelp
Kyle founded TenderHelp in 2018 in response to a lack of affordable tender writing services in the market. One of the key drivers for the establishment of the company was the imbalance and unfairness in public sector tendering; frequently favouring large, more established organisations, even though other businesses, including SMEs and those with less experience of the tendering process, could offer better quality and value.
Prior to this, Kyle worked in a variety of procurement, buying and contract management roles in public sector organisations for almost 10 years, most recently Norwich City Council. This experience of writing tenders, evaluating tender submissions and ultimately awarding the contracts, gives Kyle a great insight into what buyers are looking for and hoping to receive in your submission.
About TenderHelp
TenderHelp is a market-leading bid management company, supporting companies of all sizes, in all sectors and industries, across the UK and Europe to tender for a range of public and private contracts.
Since its establishment, the team have helped thousands of companies (many SMEs) to win over £1bn worth of contracts, with a current bid/tender win rate above 75%.

With so many of us working from home during the lockdown, we have all no doubt become very familiar with our pets. This session demonstrates how you can create a drawing of your cat or dog. Using simple techniques, you will learn how to capture your favourite pet on paper. This allows you to step back from ‘work’ for a short period and immerse yourself in a task that you may not do very often, allowing yourself time to concentrate on the simple act of drawing. This is something that Owen feels is good for mental health and wellbeing in these uncertain times.
Attendees will learn how to tackle a blank piece of paper and capture a likeness of their pet with just a pen or pencil. Subjects such as composition, proportion and mark making will be covered, along with the broader subject of freeing yourself up to not worry about mistakes or ‘correct’ ways to draw. We will work through drawing your pet from a photo through a live demonstration. Drawings can then be shared and discussed at the end of the session. All proceeds that are raised from this creative session will be donated to Kickstart Norfolk.
Cancellation policy
We only have a maximum of 12 places on this event. As all funds are being donated to Kickstart Norfolk we won’t be able to offer you a refund. Please notify us if you are no longer able to attend in writing to [email protected]
