• The Gov Ready Pulse Check is a free readiness assessment tool for insight into how you are placed to bid for government contracts and business.

    There are 22 questions in total designed to allow an analysis of 6 main areas which are important when working with government. These are:

    • Staff Proficiency
    • Partnerships – Internal and External
    • Government IQ
    • Systems and Processes
    • Set for Market
    • General

    It's important that you answer these questions with what your head is telling you, and not your heart.

    Be clinical. Be methodical. Be cold.

    The more open and honest your responses are, the more accurate your report will be with more meaningful recommendations.

    So when you're ready, put your cold, dispassionate hat on, and answer these questions with brutal honesty. It's going to take around 15 mins and we'll email your results when you're done. Let’s begin!
