Creating a successful tender response is a complex and collaborative process. A tender response writer can play a pivotal role, not just in crafting a document but in forging a partnership with their clients to produce the most compelling bid possible. Here’s a closer look at how TenderWise collaborates effectively with our clients to achieve success:
1. Understanding your needs and goals
The first step in the partnership is for us to fully understand your business, the specific project, and what you hope to achieve by winning the bid. This involves detailed discussions, reviews of previous tenders, and a thorough understanding of your industry and market position.
2. Gathering information
Collecting all necessary information is crucial for success. Whether your a sole trader or a publicly listed company, we’ll coordinate with your or your people to gather accurate and pertinent data. Out tender team ensure that all documentation and project requirements are met and aligns them with your capabilities and goals.
3. Strategic planning
Once the information is gathered, our tender writers work with you to develop a strategy. This includes deciding how to best meet the tender requirements, how to differentiate you from your competitors, and how to clearly communicate your value proposition. Strategic planning also involves setting timelines and deadlines, ensuring that the response is crafted well before the submission date.
4. Drafting the response
With a strategy in place, our tender writer begins drafting the response. This includes writing clear, persuasive, and compliant text that aligns with the tender requirements. The tender writer also works on highlighting your strengths, and uniquely positioning them in the response to maximise impact.
5. Review and refinement
The draft response is sent to you at least 2 days prior to the submission deadline so you can review it in full. Feedback is essential, so we can incorporate and changes and fine-tuning the document based on your review (although in our experience, 95% of our clients require no or very few changes).
6. Finalisation and submission
Once the tender response is polished, it undergoes a final review to ensure all requirements are met and that it presents you in the best possible light. Usually we require you to submit the tender response through the tender portal yourself, but if you get stuck we can certainly manage the submission process for you (we’ll obviously need your tender portal login details to do this)
7. Post-submission support
After the tender is submitted, our tender writing team can help you to respond t any questions the tender issuer may have, prepare for presentations or interviews. This support can be crucial, especially in high-value tenders where the final decision may involve an interview or presentation stage.
FInal thoughts
Throughout the process, our tender response writer will act as a navigator and collaborator, ensuring that your tender submission documents are not only compliant and timely, but also compelling. By effectively partnering with our clients, TenderWise can play an integral role in enhancing your chances of winning bids, thereby contributing to your overall business growth and success.
