A global service provider with established strengths in health, wellbeing, and social outcomes sought to diversify into the UK employability sector. They engaged 50 Degrees to design a tailored market entry strategy. The objective was clear: analyse commissioner priorities, map opportunities, and create a credible roadmap to position the organisation for success in the £20bn+ UK employment and skills market.

The Health and Care division of a leading global workplace services provider, reached out to 50 Degrees to support its bid for a Soft FM contract with East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT). The five-year opportunity covered cleaning, security, housekeeping, portering, and visitor management services across the Trust’s Colchester and Ipswich estates. The bid required a clear service model capable of delivering consistent standards while supporting operational improvement.

An NHS primary care network and healthcare partnership of 31 GP practices, wanted to grow its role in primary care by bidding for Alternative Provider Medical Services (APMS) in two regions. Our client has strong clinical expertise and an understanding of the procurement requirements but lacked the in-house capacity to write a submission. 50 Degrees was brought in to lead the bidding process, helping our client develop clear, compliant submissions aligned with NHS prioritise and commissioner expectations.
