The bigger work
too big to prime
Live projects and tenders you couldn't win alone but could deliver a slice of.
Partnership Radar - a slice of bigger work, without leading it.
Some jobs are too big to win on your own - but the firm that wins them still needs your part done. We find the likely main contractors and show how to be their specialist delivery partner.
Bigger work · The right primes · Your way in
What you get
Big work, none of the risk
The right partners
who'll win it
The larger firms likely to land the work, and worth positioning with.
Your way in
as their specialist
How to position as the specialist delivery partner they'll want on the job.
Sound familiar?
You'll never win a multi-million-pound job as a small firm - and you shouldn't try. But the company that does still needs your part delivered.
Locked out of big work
The contracts that could really grow you are far too large to bid as prime.
Priming is too much risk
Leading a job that size would stretch you past breaking, even if you could win it.
You don't know the primes
You're not sure which larger firms are chasing the work, or how to reach them.
No way to position
Even when you spot a big job, you've no clear way onto the winner's team.
Watching big work pass by
Projects you could deliver part of go ahead without you in the picture.

Built for your sector
Get onto the bid the bigger firms are chasing
Construction, engineering, manufacturing and trades - we use a live project or tender as the signal, then work outwards to the primes likely to pursue it and where your specialism fits.
Here's what Partnership Radar gives you:
- A live project or tender used as the signal
- The larger primes likely to pursue it
- Where your specialism fits in the job
- How to position as their delivery partner
- Named primes illustrative until confirmed
A slice, not the whole
Big work, none of the risk of leading it
Partnership Radar gets you a share of large jobs without carrying them. The main contractor holds the contract and the risk; you deliver the part you're best at. Public data only - no bid-sensitive outreach.

RTi GrowthOpsGrowth, by design
Is this for you?
This is for you if:
- You're a strong specialist who can't or shouldn't prime the whole job
- You want into bigger supply chains
- You run a construction, engineering, manufacturing or trades firm
- You'd rather partner than overreach
- You can deliver a defined slice to a main contractor's standard
Probably not for you if:
- You only want work you lead end to end
- You want bid-sensitive outreach (we stay public-data only)
- You can comfortably prime the work yourself
- You're not set up to deliver to a main contractor's requirements
- You're after the cheapest option, not the right one
Part of the system
A standing partner radar in Partner
Inside GrowthOps Partner, Partnership Radar becomes a standing view of the primes worth knowing - so you're already on their radar when the right job comes up.
Proof
Awarded, delivering, and proven
We moved from selling through distribution to owning our direct relationships with dealers and customers, and Ian and his team held the whole programme together: strategy, systems and marketing as one joined-up engagement. Everything connected, accountability was clear, and we never juggled multiple agencies or repeated ourselves.
We are an established electrical contractor with a real ambition to grow, and Ian and his team gave us the plan and the systems to chase it on purpose. They mapped out the customers worth targeting, grew our online visibility from a few hundred to over 25,000 views a month, and brought the first ever inbound enquiries we have had.
Ian and his team helped me get the business off the ground: securing the funding, building the sales and marketing systems, and turning early enquiries into paying work. Three years on, we are taking on new staff now with a pipeline worth £398,000. They built the business engine behind my trade, and it shows in our numbers.
