Bid Writing Consultancy
Expert Guidance for Winning More Contracts
Our bid writing consultancy service provides your business with expert support throughout the entire tender process. We work alongside you as partners, offering strategic advice, practical assistance, and specialist knowledge to improve your chances of winning valuable contracts.
Unlike generic writing services, our approach is built on genuine partnership – we become an extension of your team, taking the time to understand not just what you do, but how and why you do it. This enables us to write authentic, compelling responses that truly reflect your business and resonate with evaluators.
Our Professional Bid Writing Process
At Bid Writer Consultancy, we follow a structured yet flexible process that ensures high-quality, tailored bid responses while making the experience as straightforward as possible for our clients.
We begin with a thorough consultation and discovery session where we discuss your business, the opportunity, and your objectives. This critical first step helps us understand your unique selling points, experience, and the specific requirements of the tender. We take time to get under the skin of your business, ensuring we can represent you accurately and effectively throughout the bid process. Based on this initial discovery, we conduct detailed research into the buyer, market context, and evaluation criteria. We then develop a comprehensive storyboard that outlines the key messages, evidence, and structure for each response. This collaborative planning stage ensures we’re aligned on the approach before writing begins and provides a solid foundation for the entire bid.
Our bid writing consultants then develop comprehensive first drafts of all responses, method statements, and supporting documents. We focus on addressing the specific requirements while showcasing your unique capabilities and approach. These drafts are shared with you for review and input, beginning the collaborative refinement process that is central to our approach. Following your feedback, we refine and enhance the responses significantly. This second stage is where we add considerable value, strengthening arguments, improving flow, and ensuring every word contributes to your evaluation score. We pay particular attention to evaluation criteria and scoring methodologies at this stage, making strategic adjustments to maximise your potential marks.
Once the content is approved, we prepare the final submission package, including all supporting documents, attachments, and evidence. Everything is formatted, checked for compliance, and made submission-ready. Many clients choose to have us support them right through to the upload and submission stage, providing peace of mind that everything is complete and correct.
Specialist Sectors and Expertise
Our bid writing consultancy has developed particular strength in several key sectors through years of successful project delivery. We understand the intricacies of public sector procurement, including government and local authority tendering processes, framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems, and increasingly complex social value requirements. This expertise is particularly valuable as public sector procurement becomes more sophisticated and compliance-focused.
In healthcare and social care, from equipment supply to service delivery, we’ve supported numerous successful bids that navigate the specific challenges of these sensitive sectors. Our understanding of care quality standards, NHS procurement, and commissioning priorities helps position our clients effectively.
Our consultants have also developed specific expertise in construction, highways maintenance, and related services, helping clients navigate complex technical specifications and demonstrate compliance with industry standards. This sector knowledge allows us to speak the language of evaluators and address their key concerns effectively.
For professional services firms, we support consultancies, training providers, and specialist service companies to articulate their value and expertise in ways that differentiate them from competitors. We understand the particular challenges of selling intangible services and help our clients create concrete, evidence-based proposals that build confidence in their capabilities.
Real Results from Real Clients
HIGHWAYS MAINTENANCE - Sector Expertise
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sharon and Colin at Bid Writer Consultancy for their help on our recent tender. They had excellent understanding of our business. Their advice was very beneficial and the work was first class in very short timeframes. Having used other companies before it was amazing how the team at BID managed to improve on their work so much. I realise now that winning is about having the right people who understand our sector supporting our bids. After reviewing commissioner feedback on a submission, where we were ranked 1st, it showed that you really were spot on with your suggestions. It's made me appreciate the work you did for me even more. Needless to say I will be using your services again."
HEALTH EQUIPMENT - Improving a draft bid response
"I was very impressed by the professionalism and high standard of the team at Bid Writer Consultancy (BID). We contacted Sharon to help improve our draft responses four days before a tender submission deadline. From our initial enquiry Sharon and her team were a pleasure to work with. They worked evenings and the weekend to support us and highlighted areas we hadn't even considered to improve our submission. I have no hesitation recommending BID to other companies looking for support."
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION - Strategic Tender Support
"We were recommended by a partner organisation to use Bid Writer Consultancy (BID) and from the first telephone call we were pleased with our decision. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. We were supported during the PQQ and tender stages of strategically important opportunities. Two team members worked with us at our base in Motherwell to match the unique points of our delivery model to service specifications. We were delighted to win two contracts. We would definitely work with BID again and have already recommended them to others in our sector."
