Flexible Business Solutions was formed in 2023 when our founders, Diana and Tom, sat in a café to lay the groundwork for a new force in the bidding world. They wanted to build a business that delivers for clients, gives back to communities, and cares for the team at the core of the business. In 2024 Tudor and Emma joined the team, and together they found their niche as a boutique consultancy supporting organisations seeking to enter new markets.

Our team brings over 30 years of combined bidding expertise to provide end-to-end business development support for organisations across justice, health, immigration, IT, Defence and public services. Together we have helped clients secure more than £3 billion in contracted work. Spanning complex, high-value programmes and highly competitive public sector tenders, we guide organisations from early solution design through bidding, compliance and mobilisation, acting as an embedded extension of our clients’ teams rather than a traditional consultancy.

We specialise in securing first-time public sector contracts for new providers; developing and mobilising complete healthcare solutions for national commissioners; supporting major organisations to enter high-value new markets; and winning contracts that enable emerging companies to make their products profitable for the first time. These successes reflect our ability to design credible solutions, shape winning narratives, and create long-term commercial resilience.

FBS sets itself apart by providing consistent, senior level support throughout every engagement, embedding ourselves as part of our client’s internal team. We are transparent and direct, offering honest advice about what is achievable and required to win a bid; and we hold our clients to the same high standards we set for ourselves. We care deeply about the quality of our work, maintaining a level of attention, commitment, and responsiveness that often exceeds client expectations. We prioritise building genuine relationships, creating an environment where clients feel supported and able to trust us, which is reflected in clients choosing to formalise long-term partnerships with us through ongoing retainers.
