Since 2010, PEDAL Consulting has been securing and delivering public contracts. During these years, we learnt a lot throughout numerous invaluable lessons. Thus, we have decided to make our experience public and launched a series of 24 videos under the name GAME of GRANTS.
They are available at our YouTube channel:

We invite you to have a closer look at how we do things PEDAL´s way and get to know us better!
PEDAL Consulting originated as a one-man show. Unbelievable but it is true! The founder, Robert Miskuf, started working first as an intern. Then as a freelancer for a consultancy helping its clients to participate in public tenders and grants. His main task was to identify relevant business opportunities. In practice, it meant to visit 27 websites every morning to look for newly published calls for tenders and proposals. Even back then he didn´t stop wondering how this process could somehow be automated, apart from using bookmarks.
Robert was tasked to prepare the first bid from the beginning to the end. His 5-week effort resulted in a 6,5 kg package of paperwork which was NOT selected for funding.
By the end of the year, Robert prepared or assisted in the preparation of over 20 proposals, mainly in the transport, security and ICT sector. Most of them failed.
This year can be considered as a turning point for Robert. His first client was awarded by the public contract! By the end of the year, he was working on the implementation of 7 EU-funded (FP7) projects.
Here, the era of “we” – PEDAL Consulting – kicked off! Not only did Robert establish a successful company, in which he became the CEO. Moreover, he also succeeded in building a “partner search” prototype.
Thanks to it, a PEDAL Consulting´s client from Slovakia won a public contract in Bulgaria. Blown away by this experience, we wrote 17 proposals for other clients. All of them free of charge!
We also created strong links with important international partners.
PEDAL Consulting set up a pan-European network of consultancies. Mainly those specialising in the public procurement. The network serves as an access to the networks of over 41 companies from 30 European countries, capable of speaking 16 languages.
We also won several public tenders and acquired new deals for our international clients. In parallel, PEDAL Consulting prepared 42 bids.
Our company now runs as a kind of family-type of business with some relatives and few true believers. Also, hitting the “magic 10,000 hour” experience, we decided to found Tenderio. The one stop-shop for public tenders. Tenderio brings under one single roof the world’s number 1 search engine for public tenders and a pan-European network of bid writers with their limitless partner search capabilities. It allows selected companies to access new public contracts anywhere in Europe.
PEDAL Consulting established a new line of service which helps improve the access of its clients to alternative source of financing.
Fast-forward to 2021, PEDAL Consulting is the leading national H2020 SME performer – in terms of number of projects approved and implemented:
€50.1M projects managed;
40+ EU/US contracts;
40+ strategic partners;
150+ clients;
100 + unsuccessful proposals (lessons learnt).
PEDAL Consulting secures 17 new Horizon Europe grants. This allows us, among others, to attract new talented and driven team players with the right “PEDAL DNA”.
At the same time, 2022 exposes us to our neglected leaks and blind spots. After the EC audit, we receive a major hit, in the form of almost 7 figure loss.
Such an expensive lesson teaches us to pay attention also to our compliance-related strategies and processes. Moreover, it makes us more resilient and even deepens our relationship with many partners.
