Paid in full before work starts; a full refund if you cancel before kick-off, the working day after you pay. No win guarantee and no success fee.
One pack covers one submission. Separate answers for several lots may need a larger pack; you are told before kick-off and can have a full refund.

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 Mon 16 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.
Want the memo first? Send the full pack by Thu 29 Oct 2026, so the memo comes back before the last day to order. Or order now: I check the word count before kick-off, and if the tender needs more than a Deadline Pack Standard covers, you can have a full refund.
