About Us
At Bidshaper, we know you have a choice. There are other companies in the market offering bid support services, but we think that we are different from the pack. We specialise in health and care, with decades of sector experience in our team. We have run Digital Health companies ourselves, successfully applied for funding and helped others to do so. Our knowledge and experience are now at your disposal, as is our vast network of contacts and alliances. No longer do you need to struggle to write a funding application with people who don't understand your business or the landscape it operates in, talk to us instead.
