Hi, I'm Frankie - your UK point of contact.
I personally help every client find the right developers. No account managers, no handoffs, no overseas call centres. If something needs sorting, you call me.
I’ve spent the last decade pairing UK companies with brilliant offshore engineers. I know the questions to ask, the red flags to spot, and how to make embedded teams actually work.
No middlemen and no recruiter fees, Just direct access to your UK-managed development team.

Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.
Everything you need to know about working with our UK-managed development teams.
How quickly can you provide developers?
We can typically identify suitable developers and begin onboarding within days, depending on your technical requirements and team size.
How does the complimentary 25-hour trial work?
New clients can trial our development service with up to 25 complimentary development hours. You can give us a real task or piece of development work, allowing you to experience the quality of our work, communication and delivery before committing to ongoing support.
There’s no obligation to continue once the trial is complete. If you’re happy with the work, we can then discuss the most suitable way to continue.
Who manages my development team?
Your development team is supported by our technical and management teams, with UK-based management available throughout the relationship.
Depending on your preferred way of working, our developers can be managed by us, work directly with your internal team, or operate within your existing project management processes and tools.
Can developers work with my existing team?
Absolutely. Many of our clients already have established in-house development teams and use Tender Software for additional capacity or specialist skills.
Our developers can work directly alongside your existing team, using your preferred tools, processes and ways of working. This can be for short-term additional capacity, a particular project or skillset, or as a longer-term extension of your team.
What technologies do your developers work with?
Our teams cover a broad range of modern and established technologies across web, mobile, software, cloud and AI development.
This includes .NET, Python, PHP/Laravel, Node.js, Java, React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, React Native, Flutter, iOS, Android, AWS, Azure and GCP, alongside databases, APIs, integrations, AI technologies and popular CMS/eCommerce platforms.
If you require a particular technology or specialist skillset, speak to us and we can confirm suitable resource availability.
Are there any long-term contracts or tie-ins?
No. Flexibility is a key part of how we work.
We support everything from ad-hoc development and short-term additional capacity through to dedicated full-time developers and longer-term teams. There is no minimum engagement period, allowing you to scale support up or down as your requirements change.
For larger projects or specific engagements, the agreed commercial terms and scope will be set out clearly before work begins.
One thing I would consider changing in the actual FAQ heading is “Who manages my development team?” to “How will my development team be managed?” It sounds less like the customer automatically gets an entire team and works whether they take one developer or ten.
