We manage the tender process for you
If I hire you for bid writing, how will it work?
As a guide, this is how it usually works...
We begin by understanding your business, bidding history, and the specific tender you're looking at.
We thoroughly review the tender or grant documentation. Then, you'll get an email outlining our findings, recommendations, and a quote.
We'll spend the next days or weeks researching the competition, refining your value proposition, and aligning your message with the buyer's core aims.
After the first draft is finalised, you will have the opportunity to read our work, add comments, and request changes. We encourage you not to hold back, as your win is at stake.
After refining our work into a final draft, we'll send it to you. It's now your chance to request any final changes. If none are required, we'll get you prepped for submission.
What do I get if you manage my bid?
We don't just churn out bids, we expertly guide you through the entire process.
-
Dedicated Account Manager A single point of contact who will oversee the entire process, ensuring clear communication, timely updates, and seamless coordination from start to finish.
-
Battled-Tested Bid Writer, If You Need Managing a bid and writing a bid are slightly different, though the two are usually requested as a joint package. Our bid writers have a 75% win rate across industries like defence, construction, and healthcare. You'll gain access to experts who know exactly how to make you stand out in a competitive process.
-
Clear and Strategic Project Planning We take you through a detailed, structured onboarding process to gain a deep understanding of your unique needs, goals, and requirements. Once we have a clear picture, we develop a tailored project plan that outlines key milestones, timelines, and deliverables. With this plan in place, you'll have full visibility and confidence in the process, knowing exactly what to expect at each stage.
-
Transparency and Honesty, Always We won’t sugarcoat things, sell you a dream, or make empty promises. Our focus is on helping you pursue the right opportunities at the right time, ensuring that everyone wins. Similarly, if something seems off, isn't quite right, or raises concerns when we start work, we'll be honest with you. We won’t steer you down a dead-end path just to make a quick profit.
-
Opportunity to Think Like the Buyer Our team includes former procurement professionals who have directly developed and evaluated the tenders you're now bidding on. We know buyer preferences, specifically what they look for and what turns them off. When you hire us, you’ll also understand what the buyer looks for.
-
Post-Submission Support While you're waiting for feedback from the procurement team, we won’t leave you hanging. We’ll be here to guide you, answer any questions, and provide support until the decision is made. And don’t worry – you won’t be charged every time you reach out to us.
