Klick Business Solutions

What Klick Business Solutions does

Klick Business Solutions Ltd is a UK private limited company, founded in 2006 by Managing Director Andrea Childs and headquartered in the Birmingham/Black Country region (with an office in Wall Heath, Dudley). The firm provides professional tender writing and bid management services, including end-to-end management of SQs and ITTs, portal management, win-theme development, and bespoke Tender Skills Training. It serves both the UK public sector (NHS trusts, local authorities, central government departments including MoD and MoJ, higher education, and major infrastructure buyers such as HS2) and private sector enterprises (e.g., IKEA, Morrisons, Drax), with named long-term anchor client Marten Walsh Cherer (since 2013).

The core technology stack is essentially human-led: there is no proprietary software platform, no app, no public API, no disclosed integrations, and no AI tooling. Service delivery relies on a team of approximately 10 professionals with over 90 years of cumulative tender-writing experience, supported by standard office and website infrastructure (Wix-hosted site, LinkedIn/X/Facebook/Instagram presence, email newsletter).

The business model is project-based professional services with per-bid, quote-based pricing agreed upfront after the client submits blank tender documents; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is consultative and direct — a free 10-minute advice helpline, email enquiry, and website contact form drive inbound, complemented by content marketing (blog, case studies) and organic social. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no external funding, no investors, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity. It has won multiple regional awards (Black Country Business of the Year, Professional Services Award, Small Business of the Year).
