Bid Writing & Tender Writing Services

Social Value Tender Writing Support

Social value is a key topic that often carries a high weighting in tender submissions, either as part of the quality assessment or as a section in its own right. With a good social value offering often being the difference between a win and a loss in public sector tendering, organisations of all sizes should be focusing on their social value.

Our specialist division, The Social Value Practice, provides dedicated social value training and consultancy, and helps to support bidders to prepare for, and benefit from, the minimum 10% weighting for social value that is applied across all central government contracts.

Our bid and tender writing consultants can help you to develop a strong understanding of all key social value concepts, and can provide expert consultancy and support to develop workable initiatives, taking into account your operating space and the size of your organisation.

Ultimately, this support – offered alongside our bid and tender writing services or as a standalone service – will enable you to know what the buyer is looking for, respond more effectively and be more competitive in bidding.

Improve Your Win Rate with Tender Writing Consultants

To provide our clients with the greatest likelihood of success, our bid writing consultants provide complete, end-to-end support for each bid. However, if you only require assistance with certain sections, topics or questions within a bid, our bid writing consultants will flex our support to meet your requirements.

You can have as much or as little written narrative produced by our experienced bid writers as you like, and we will provide an individual quotation based on the level of bid support needed.

The approach we use for our bid writing services is structured and systematic. Over 75% of our work comes via repeat business, a testament to our focus on winning tenders and on client service. By leveraging our proposal writing knowledge and writing skills across sectors, our bid writing consultants are able to advise on best practices, industry standards, and most important of all ‘what good looks like’. For larger companies we can help to identify win themes, bid writing strategy and core competence; smaller companies may just require assistance translating their existing practices into a narrative which the evaluator will score highly.

One of the most common questions we receive is around timing for public sector tenders. Is it too short a deadline? Can you complete it in the time available? Unlike most of our competitors, we have a directly employed, full-time team of professional writers. Usually, we only assign one bid writer per project, but for short notice projects, we can assign multiple writers to a last-minute submission to successfully tender.
