Tenders won using Cana

A small domiciliary care provider with 12 staff had never won a local authority contract. They had tried twice before with no success. Using Cana, their bid was written in 52 minutes. The system loaded the exact questions from Birmingham's framework, asked the provider about their team, training, and approach to care and produced answers that directly addressed the council's quality criteria. They were awarded a place on the framework and received their first call-off within 6 weeks.

A supported living provider expanding into Lancashire had strong experience but no in-house bid writer. Cana was given the ITT questions and the provider's company information. It produced a complete quality response covering methodology, staffing, safeguarding, and social value all framed around Lancashire's specific commissioning priorities. The provider was awarded a 3-year contract, their largest to date.

A commercial cleaning company with strong local experience but no history of public sector bidding used Cana to enter the market. The system produced a method statement, TUPE response, and all quality questions tailored to Thurrock's specific requirements around CRB checks, COSHH compliance, and infection control. They won the contract on their first attempt, beating two established competitors.

A newly registered care provider CQC registered but not yet rated used Cana to apply for a lower-barrier homecare framework designed for emerging providers. Cana understood the tender's appetite for new entrants and framed the responses around potential, training standards, and a credible growth plan rather than an extensive track record. The provider was admitted to the framework and began delivering care within 8 weeks of submission.

A small construction firm bidding for their first public sector framework used Cana to complete a complex multi-document submission including methodology, social value, and a fully costed pricing schedule. Cana loaded the STAR Procurement questions automatically and built responses around the company's project history, Real Living Wage commitment, and local employment record. They scored above the threshold on all quality questions and secured a place on the framework.

A mental health charity with excellent frontline experience but limited administrative capacity used Cana to compete against much larger organisations for an NHS community outreach contract. The system tailored every response to the ICB's commissioning framework, incorporating NHS terminology, outcome measurement approaches, and safeguarding standards. They won on quality score alone, outperforming two national providers.
