Tender Writing & Bid Management

The Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) is the online journal or web portal that publishes all public sector contract opportunities over a certain threshold.

The European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) is a standardised form which acts as a self-declaration form at the initial selection stage, for firms tendering for contracts. It is for use by all EU member states, but particularly used in Scotland, instead of the PQQ document.

In public-sector procurement (and a lot of the private sector) tendering is used as a fair and transparent way to select a suitable supplier to deliver a certain contract.

Our team of tender writers are involved in hundreds of tender submissions each year, varying in sector, size and specialisms. We look at a recent tender submission in the marketing and creative sector.

Currently the UK abides by EU procurement laws, meaning if a contract is over £118,133 it is compulsory that the contract goes through the tender process to source a suitable supplier.

When a new contract is procured in the public or private sector, a tender document will be released to potential bidding organisations to complete and return. This is how the buyer evaluates your company and the tender must be filled in precisely, and score the highest marks, in order to be successful.
