Our team of tender and bid writers have been helping businesses in Canberra, the ACT and across Australia write winning bids, tenders and proposals. Our consultants understand what it takes to win government and private sector contracts and will leverage on this experience to deliver you results. Our experience extends to writing tenders to all three levels of Government (local, state and federal) as well as the private sector.
Some strategies you can employ to win more Government and private sector contracts in the ACT and Canberra include:
- Using the right language – This is not limited to using the language the Government use and want to hear. You also need to write concisely and in the active voice. Adopt the latest readability strategies and tailor your writing to the opportunity. You need to write like you are telling the story and talking to the reader about why you are the best business to deliver the works.
- Focus on delivering benefits to the ACT Government (or Federal Government) that go beyond a quality service. Governments (and private companies) love to award contracts to local companies. It almost guarantees them that the downstream economic benefits of the contract (for example employing locals, using local suppliers and supporting the local community).
- Focus on the triple bottom line – The environment, social benefits and disadvantaged groups all need be addresses well to secure contracts in Canberra and the ACT. Talk about how you will benefit disability groups if awarded the contract. Will the contract create any jobs that may be suitable for people with a disability? Are you working with any specialist recruiters to identify potential candidates? Think about what specific environmental initiatives you are putting forward. If you are tendering to provide IT services to a major federal government department, you may think the environment is irrelevant? However – talking about how you will recycle old computer equipment when upgrading is something that is covered in most IT tenders.
- Provide evidence – Unfortunately it is often not enough to state facts to the reader and expect them to believe it. You need to provide evidence to back up what you are writing. Testimonials not only from previous clients, but also from suppliers and other stakeholders based in Canberra and the ACT as well as nationally are helpful. Also – remember to provide evidence of membership into relevant industry associations as well as supporting documentation for health and safety, environment, quality assurance and other critical areas.
- Ensure you comply –
Our team of bid and tender writers help organisations large and small submit compelling submissions in order to secure long term contracts.
We understand the Australian Capital Territory market, local industry and government structure and environment.
