Tender Writing & Bid Management

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.

Most organisations will encounter a time when they need to tender for a specific contract – it may be in order to expand and grow, or it may be to continue working with a certain supplier. In both the public and private sector, tendering is the most common way of securing work.

Tendering for government contracts can be a competitive process, and one which focuses on value-adding techniques and not just an initial low price.

Submitting an e-tender is now the typical process for public sector procurement – simply put, this means using an online portal to conduct all elements of the tender exercise.
