  4. Founding pilot £295

    A full Deadline Pack for this tender, up to 8,000 words, in return for a testimonial in your own words and permission to publish one anonymised answer, both only with your written approval. Three places, ordered and paid by 30 November 2026.

    Request the invoice by

    In 2 days

Pay within one UK working day of the invoice; later payment moves the dates back by the same number of working days.

With a Deadline Pack, the final draft reaches you by Tue 10 Nov 2026, five working days before the closing day, so you can check it, price it and submit it yourself.

The order page sets out the full timeline, what you supply and the terms. I confirm within one UK working day that I can take this tender, and if I cannot, you get a full refund. If I miss a delivery date for a reason in my control, and your inputs arrived on time, you choose a full refund or late delivery.

There is no longer time for a memo before the last day to order. Or order now: I check the word count before the kick-off call, and if the tender needs more than a Deadline Pack Standard covers, you can have a full refund.
