This is our main course. It provides you with the skills, tools and knowledge on how to write strong tenders and manage the bid writing process. The course covers the very basics of tender writing, and moves though to the advanced tools that we use on a day-to-day basis when writing tenders for our clients.

We increase your likelihood of success when tendering, and take the headache and legwork out of the tendering process for you. Our extensive experience of tendering has provided us with an excellent understanding of the buyer’s mindset, and we combine this with high quality writing and outstanding management of the bid process to ensure your best chance of success. Working closely in partnership with you, we will guide you through the process, and using the material you provide us with to create the strongest bid possible. Not only will this save you significant time, the process develops strong material for you to use in future bids, together with increasing the skills and knowledge within your business of the tender writing process.

To maximise your likelihood of winning a tender, it is important to get objective feedback on your draft bid. Finding someone who is able to provide, high quality, relevant, objective feedback can be very difficult. Under our Bid Review Service, one of our senior tendering experts will carry out a full review of your bid. They will provide detailed feedback, along with suggested amendments to wording on how it can be improved. In order to get the most benefit from a review, we recommend you plan it a week before the deadline. That way you still have time to strengthen your bid if suggested in the feedback. If you think you would like us to review your bid, we suggest that you get in touch with us as soon as possible. This will maximise the likelihood of us being able to do the work. Our clients find that a tender review not only helps improve the quality of a bid but also helps improve their tender writing skills. The benefit, therefore, extends to future tenders. Prices for a tender review start at £600, depending on the type of review and length of the bid document.

WE CAN PROVIDE HELP WITH A TENDER IN THE LAST FEW DAYS LEADING UP TO A DEADLINE. Have you ever only found out about a tender a few days before the deadline? Have you found other work has been ‘eating up’ your valuable bid writing time? Perhaps you just didn’t have the right resource in place and had to let it go? The challenge for many businesses is how to submit a good quality tender, when you don’t have enough time. If this happens, get in touch with us urgently by ringing 079101 49945 or 0115 9266 477 for a conversation. We will check our writers’ capacity and let you know if, and how, we can help.

One of the main issues we come across when organisations submit bids or tenders is that answers are poorly written. This is often because they are written by subject matter experts and not experts in writing. Using a subject matter expert to draft content can result in answers that are complex and focused on what is important to the expert, rather than what the question that the buyer is asking. If answers are confusing, longwinded and do not answer the question, then evaluators disconnect and be more likely to award a low score. If the bid is well-written and provides the information required, the evaluator is more likely to award a high score. Under our Bid Editing Service, one of our editors will review your draft and suggest changes so as to significantly improve its readability.
