What Impart Ltd does

Impart Ltd is a Leeds-based bid management consultancy founded in 2013 by Richard Tobias, operating as a privately-held limited company with a team of approximately ten professionals. The firm provides three core service lines: bidding services (bid administration, bid management, Answer Guidance Templates, kick-off and Red Team facilitation, and bid writing/review), consulting (business development, bidding and procurement consultancy), and training (one-day and half-day workshops, Power Hours, Social Value Response courses, and free Tender Health Checks). Underpinning the offering is a proprietary "Best Practice Bid Writing" methodology, refined since 2013, which the company reports delivers a 90%+ tender success rate and a 99% framework contract success rate across hundreds of engagements.

The company sells its services on a time-and-materials basis, with daily or hourly rates defined in client Engagement Letters and fortnightly arrears invoicing, and delivers engagements either at client sites or virtually under flexible commercial models. Its customer base spans UK public sector bodies — notably NHS Trusts and local government authorities such as Leeds City Council — alongside private-sector enterprises in healthcare, IT, telecommunications, construction, retail, facilities management and archaeology, with client turnover ranging from startups to £40 billion global firms. Impart generates top-of-funnel demand through a Knowledge Hub content portal, Eventbrite-hosted free training events and a LinkedIn presence, while larger engagements are secured through direct, founder-led sales. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or international expansion beyond the UK are disclosed.

The management team is led by Managing Director Richard Tobias (formerly of Siemens and Atos) and Director Simon Esbach, supported by an Associate Director, Head of Bid Consultancy, Business Manager and several APMP-certified Bid Consultants with backgrounds spanning NHS clinical management, English Literature and bid writing across multiple sectors. The company operates from Wizu Workspace in Leeds, is registered in England and Wales (company number 08343098), and reports no parent company, subsidiaries, patents, or formal partnerships in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Loopio: Larger RFP/bid management SaaS platform with a content library, automation, and AI features used by enterprise bid teams. Comparable as an alternative to outsourced bid consulting, addressing the same RFP response workflow with a software-centric model.
• Responsive (formerly RFPIO): Established RFP/proposal management software vendor with AI-assisted response generation. Represents the broader software-led alternative to traditional bid writing consultancies and a potential substitute for parts of Impart's offering.

Emerging players

• The Bid Academy: UK-focused bid training provider offering courses, workshops, and APMP-aligned certification prep. Comparable training-led offering and SME target market that overlaps Impart's training revenue stream.
• Bidhive: Bid management software platform with associated bid services and training content. Comparable because it targets the same tender-writing workflow with a hybrid software-plus-services model that competes for the same UK/APAC bid team budget.

Direct peers

• Strategic Proposals: UK-based proposal and bid management consultancy offering bid writing, training, and APMP-aligned methodology. Comparable in service portfolio, methodology focus, and enterprise/government customer base.
• AM Bid: UK bid writing and tender management consultancy providing end-to-end bid support and training. Closely comparable offering and customer profile to Impart's bidding services line.
• Boost Awards: UK tender writing and bid consultancy specializing in public sector bids, frameworks, and social value responses. Directly comparable niche specialization, methodology, and customer segments to Impart.
• Bid Solutions: UK-based bid management and tender writing consultancy offering bid management, bid writing, and training services to public and private sector clients. Directly comparable in service mix, target customer base, and UK public sector specialization.
