Our team of professional bid writing consultants support you to win contracts. Via our bid writing and tender writing service, we take the entire document off your hands; managing the process from start to finish to complete your bid to the highest standard.

Bid Writing and Tender Writing Services

Your bid writing and tender writing requirements will be met by our team of professional bid writers and consultants. For each project, you will receive a fixed fee, no-obligation quotation for our bid and tender writing service. This is tailored to the specific tender that you need support with, so you know exactly what you are paying in advance, with no hidden costs.

Our tender writing service includes:

  • Analysis of the tender documents
  • Storyboarding and answer planning each response, including any research
  • Interviews with your company to capture all relevant technical information
  • Writing responses to the technical quality questions
  • Quality assurance review by our dedicated quality team
  • Proofreading
  • Ongoing bid management support
  • Bid administration on the relevant tender portal
  • Social value consultancy (if applicable)

Expert Bid Writing Services and Support

Our proven approach to bid and tender writing services supports us to maintain a success rate in excess of 85% across all opportunities. However, we recognise that successful bidding requires a tailored approach. Our professional bid writers use persuasive, compelling narrative which showcases your company and highlights its key differentiators and unique selling points. We never just copy and paste or use generic boilerplate text, instead ensuring each bid response is tailored to your organisation, the tender opportunity and the buyer’s preferences as outlined in the tender documents, resulting in quality responses that stand out from the competition.

What Does a Bid Response Look Like?

A strong, competitive bid response will be persuasive, detailed and tailored to the buyer and opportunity.

Our in-house, directly employed bid and tender writers follow our tried-and-tested bid writing methodology for producing a bespoke, high-quality bid response:

  1. The bid response is compliant with all requirements outlined in the Invitation to Tender (ITT), contract specification and other documents within the tender pack
  2. All elements of the question have been comprehensively addressed, with no gaps or omissions risking loss of marks from the evaluators
  3. Content within the bid response has a clear, logical structure, with graphics/images, tables, bullet points and white space deployed where appropriate, producing a professional, easy-to-read document
  4. Line-by-line content, such as specific processes and procedures, is smooth, flows well and is easy to follow, avoiding technical language or industry-specific jargon.

Although each tender response is evaluated individually, it is crucial that the submission as a whole is cohesive, consistent and impactful. We therefore work with our clients to develop and integrate key differentiators or ‘win themes’ into all bid responses, demonstrating how your organisation is best positioned to deliver the tendered work or service. This can vary from client to client. You may wish to highlight a particular system or technology which provides cost or time savings to the buyer, examples of where you can add value outside the scope of works, or leverage your experience as the incumbent contractor to demonstrate how you are best positioned to continue your working partnership.

    Our Bid Writing Team

    Our bid and tender writers complete a rigorous training programme designed and led by Technical Director Matthew Walker, ensuring they have comprehensive knowledge on how to produce a targeted, persuasive, high-quality bid response across all sectors and industries in which we support – including construction, health and social care, hard and soft facilities management and professional services. Knowledge is reinforced by our 14 years’ experience and involvement in supporting over 7,000 PQQ, SQ and ITT submissions.

    Following acceptance of our bespoke quotation, you will be assigned and introduced to your lead bid writer for each project. If the tender is particularly large or complex, there may be multiple bid writers supporting the project to ensure all bid responses are drafted, reviewed, amended and ready for your review in good time ahead of the submission deadline.

    For repeat clients who have developed a strong working relationship with a particular bid writer, we will assign them as your account manager, supporting the familiarity they have with your working processes and procedures and approach to the writing process. This will include sending contract notices and tender opportunities hosted on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender, that aligns with your organisation’s services and geographic area.

    Improve Your Win Rate with Tender Writing Consultants

    To provide our clients with the greatest likelihood of success, our tender writing consultants provide complete, end-to-end bid management support for each project. However, if you only require tender writing support with certain sections, topics or questions within a bid, our bid writing consultants will flex our support to meet your requirements via a collaborative approach. Information on our scope of works and any exclusions – for example, pricing schedules, hard copies and associated policies or procedures – will be clearly outlined in the unique quotation you receive for each project.

    The approach we use for our bid writing services is structured and systematic, reflecting our understanding of the tendering process. Over 75% of our work comes via repeat business, a testament to our focus on winning tenders and on our high-quality client service. By leveraging our proposal writing knowledge and writing skills across sectors, our bid writing consultants can advise on best practices, industry standards, and most important of all ‘what good looks like’.

    For larger, more complex bids we can help to identify win themes, bid writing strategy, and core competence; smaller bids may be more straightforward in terms of translating existing practices into a narrative which will score high marks with the buyer’s evaluation committee.

    One of the most common questions we receive is around timing for public sector tenders: is it too short a deadline? Can you complete it in the time available? Unlike other bid writing consultancies, we have a directly employed, full-time team of professional bid and tender writers who are here to provide expert tender and bid writing help, bid review services, and consultative advice. Usually, we only assign one bid writer per project, but for short notice projects, we can assign multiple writers to a last-minute submission to ensure on-time completion of the tender.
