A company I have only met with a few times as a potential client (i am a management consultant) now wants to add me on a the application for a tender job they are trying to get. I feel they are just trying to use my experience since they don't have any inhouse. We have not signed any contracts, discussed any fees and hours. It seems to me they are trying to enter my experience but not involve me in the actual contract. I told them as long as I don't work for them in any way I can't be added. Please advise.

It sounds like they are taking a liberty 

Depends on what you want to happen, insist they remove your name, or negotiate a consultancy fee. Plenty of companies take on outside consultants as temp employees to fill skills gaps or help them with tenders.

Not discussing it with you first is bordering on fraud. Decide what you want to happen, ie financial compensation, or remove your details, then demand an audience and get it resolved.
