Oby Okonkwo is the founder of the HSCT Portal, a smart tendering platform built specifically for health and social care providers. The platform enables providers to discover relevant tenders, assess their eligibility, develop competitive bids, and secure the workforce or strategic partners needed to deliver.

Drawing from her background in care management and her extensive experience as a management consultant in public procurement, Oby has supported individuals and organisations across the UK to enter and scale within regulated markets. Her track record spans domiciliary care, supported living, live-in care, residential care, cleaning contracts, NHS frameworks, and call-offs via mini competitions. She has helped both new and established providers win over £350 million in public contracts from first-time bidders to national multi-service operators.

At the core of her approach is simplicity without compromise. Through the HSCT Portal, her team of expert consultants and bid strategists handle the heavy lifting from eligibility checks to full bid creation so providers can focus on what they do best: delivering high-quality care. Her mission is clear: to make tendering accessible, winnable, and delivery-ready for SMEs across the sector.
