I'm Ricardo, a software developer. If you're bidding for a contract and part of it needs an application built, I can take that part on: a defined piece of software, scoped and priced with you before the bid goes in.
You lead the bid and the relationship with the buyer. I build what we've agreed, and I'm clear about what I can and can't provide.
Plenty of tenders combine consultancy, engineering or specialist knowledge with software that someone has to build. If your team brings the expertise and the bid experience, I can take responsibility for the software as a work package we've written down together: what it does, what's out of scope and how you'll check it's done.
That could be an alpha or prototype, a register or internal tool, a summary view for decision-makers, or a workflow that has to sit alongside the systems a buyer already uses.
The useful work starts before the bid goes in. Depending on the deadline and what you need, I can:
Pick out the software requirements, the assumptions behind them and the questions worth putting to the buyer before the clarification deadline.
Set out deliverables, milestones, dependencies and what the buyer would need to provide, then give you a price and timescale for my part.
A small demonstration with made-up data, if it helps your team decide or explain the approach. It's labelled as a concept, and we agree first who owns it and how it can be used.
Every tender is different, so these are the questions I'd want answered before either of us commits.
The buyer, the procurement route, the deadlines and how the bid will be scored, and whether you've already decided to bid.
What I'm responsible for, what your team handles, where the handoffs are and who signs off the software.
The evidence each of us provides, whether remote delivery is allowed, who owns work done before the bid, payment if it doesn't go ahead, and support after launch.
I'm one developer, not an agency. I haven't delivered a public-sector contract yet, so I won't claim a track record I don't have. What I can show you is software I've designed, built and run myself.
If a tender asks for experience, certifications, insurance or capacity that I can't provide, I'll say so when we first talk, so you can decide whether the arrangement still works for your bid.
These are my own projects, not completed tender contracts.
