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%.

January’s urge to “tidy up” is more than seasonal, it’s strategic. Resolutions often falter under family pressures, career changes, and choice overload, making financial order essential. Our first 2026 Life Planning Masterclass explores how rising income triggers tax traps, and why clear understanding of wrappers, pensions, investments, protection, and risk matters.
What we’ll cover
Quick wins: Maximising contributions, consolidating pensions, trimming spending, and refreshing insurance or estate plans.
Building good money habits: Automating savings, scheduling regular reviews, and maintaining discipline to stay on track.
Turning resolutions into long‑term success: How small steps and consistent habits transform short‑lived intentions into lasting financial wellbeing.
