About ONETEN
What We Do - In a Nutshell
ONETEN works with businesses of all sizes, from large organisations and established bid teams to contractors, subcontractors and sole operators.
Our core business is helping you pursue and win work. We enjoy the thrill of the chase – and there is nothing better than seeing our clients succeed. Your win is our win.
Support can be scaled to suit your needs and may include bid and tender strategy, governance and risk management, bid management, tender writing, content development and review, or project management of the entire bid process from opportunity through to submission.
ONETEN can also assist with business strategy, planning and improvement. Whether you are looking to grow, pursue new opportunities, improve how your business operates or work through a particular challenge, the support is practical and tailored to your business.
For smaller businesses, ONETEN also provides bookkeeping and accounts support, from day-to-day bookkeeping through to trial balance. This gives you practical support behind the scenes while you focus on your customers, your people and getting the work done.
Whatever the size of your business, the aim is the same: practical support that helps you win work, strengthen your business and keep moving forward. The scope is agreed upfront and tailored to your needs, in-house capability and budget.
