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 bids. However, we recognise that successful tendering 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, we tailor each bid response to your organisation, the tender opportunity, and the buyer’s preferences as outlined in the tender documents, ensuring your bid fully aligns with the tender’s requirements and specification. This approach results in bids and tenders 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, opportunity and contracts.

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 within tenders.

Although each tender response is evaluated individually, it is crucial that the submission as a whole is cohesive, consistent and impactful. Our bid management consultants work closely with our clients to develop and integrate key differentiators, also known as ‘bid win themes’. These are integrated into all bid responses to demonstrate why your organisation is best positioned to deliver the work or service. This can vary from client to client. You may wish to highlight a particular system or technology that saves the buyer time or money. You could also showcase examples of how you add value outside the scope of works. Or, if you are the incumbent contractor, leverage your experience to demonstrate how you are best positioned to continue your working partnership.

    Our Bid Writing Consultants & Team

    Our bid and tender writers complete a rigorous training programme designed and led by Managing Director Matthew Walker. This programme ensures they have comprehensive knowledge on effective bid strategy and how to produce a targeted, persuasive, high-quality bid responses. We provide bid support across a wide range of sectors and industries– including tenders for construction, health and social care, hard and soft facilities management and professional services. Knowledge is reinforced by over 15 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. For large or complex tenders, multiple bid writers may support the project. This ensures all bid responses are drafted, reviewed, amended in time for your final review. Our approach helps you meet the submission deadline with a well-prepared bid in advance of short submission deadlines.

    For repeat clients who have developed a strong working relationship with a particular bid writer in our team, we will assign them as your account manager. This ensures continuity and supports their familiarity with your working processes, 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 align 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 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 (for example social value), our bid writing consultants will flex our support to meet your requirements via a collaborative approach. Your unique quotation will clearly outline the scope of work and any exclusions. These may include pricing schedules, hard copies and associated policies or procedures. Each project receives a tailored quotation to ensure clarity for the requirements of tenders.

    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’ in public sector bidding.

    For larger, more complex bids, we can help to identify win themes, bid writing strategy, and core competence. Smaller bids are often more straightforward. In these cases, we focus on translating existing practices into a compelling narrative that scores high marks with the buyer’s evaluation committee for public sector opportunities.

    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, our team is made up of full-time directly employed professional bid writers. They provide expert tender and bid writing help, bid review services, and consultative advice. Usually, we only assign one bid writer per bid, but for short notice tenders, we can assign multiple writers to a last-minute submission to ensure on-time completion of the project.
