Cut your bidding process in half with our bid library creation service
A streamlined, professional, secure repository of bid-ready content made by us, for you.
We create your bid library
A bespoke repository of high-quality bid content, made by us for you.
What is a bid library?
Responding to tenders can be time-consuming and repetitive, especially when you're starting from scratch with each submission.
A bid library solves this common issue by providing businesses with a bespoke repository of high-quality bid content, ready to be used as a foundation for every bid.
And why is it important, exactly?
Let me ask you: do bids often feel like a mad scramble? You’re racing to find past content and write responses under pressure, risking errors, inconsistencies, and rushed submissions.
This is why a bid library is so important.
Whilst it's true that no two bids are identical, most include standard questions and compliance tasks.
By preparing these answers in advance, and putting them in a bid library, you save valuable hours that can be better spent making your proposal unique, impactful, and visually compelling.

This is why a bid library is so important.
If I hire you to create my bid library, how will it work?
We'll work with you to create case studies, responses to common bid questions, and compliance documents, providing a professional, time-saving resource that streamlines your bidding process by up to 50%.
What do I get if you create my bid library?
We're glad you asked.
You'll get assets and documents that serve as a foundation for future bids. Don’t have case studies? We’ll identify the gaps and create them for you. Unsure about your boilerplate responses? We’ll review, refine, and organise them in your library for easy access.
Reusing well-organised, pre-approved content saves you and your team valuable time by eliminating repetitive tasks. Instead of reinventing the wheel with every tender, you'll have high-quality responses ready to go, removing the frantic rush we mentioned earlier.
Did you know a bid library can be an invaluable training tool? New team members can quickly familiarise themselves with your approach and learn from examples of successful bids. This beats dragging them through the process manually.
If every bid starts in a frenzy, leaving you playing catch-up, the quality of your proposal suffers. With a bid library, you get a strong head start. You can focus more on refining your solution and analysing your pricing, key elements that truly drive the win.
From tone of voice to formatting, a centralised library maintains a unified approach to tender responses. This coherence strengthens your brand and eliminates conflicting information in your submissions.

What will I pay for you to build my bid library?
What we’ve provided in the table is an average cost, based on the requirement to build a small bid library.
However, the cost is a sliding scale which rises for more complex or larger orders.
Factors that influence the price include:
- Scope of Content – The number of case studies, templates, responses, and documents needed
- Team Collaboration – The level of involvement we can expect from your team to provide input, case studies, and other materials
- Ongoing Updates – Whether you need a one-time setup or a service that regularly updates and refines your library
