In the world of bidding there has been considerable speculation and discussion over the years on whether the PQQ will be abolished and bidding for contracts will be limited to a one stage approach: the ITT.

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. This tends to focus on value-adding techniques and not just "lowest price wins".

This week, two of our dedicated health and social care bid writers, Matthew and Stuart, attended the Future of Care conference in Leeds, to hear from industry experts. Stuart relays his thoughts on the conference, and the future of care itself.

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.
