Experience helping Gold Coast businesses from all industries win tenders and contracts

Our bid writers help local Gold Coast businesses from all industries win contracts not only with the Council, but also with the Queensland and Federal Government. We have helped businesses from different industries including:
Construction and maintenance tender writing on the Gold Coast

This includes helping interstate construction businesses secure contracts and a foothold in the region, as well as local businesses retain long standing contracts both in the private sector as well as with Gold Coast City Council.

2025 – 2026 guide to winning tenders in the Gold Coast
In order to win more tenders on the Gold Coast and across Queensland, we recommend you:
- Tailor their tender to the Gold Coast operating environment.
- Employ locals and support the city.
- Demonstrate insight into the unique challenges faced by operating on the Gold Coast.
- Write in a concise, easy to understand and well structured way.
- Develop win themes that focus on your points of difference and are relevant to the buyer.
- Look into the future and foresee challenges.
- Provide evidence throughout your bid.
Let’s explore these in further detail:
- Tailor your tender to the Gold Coast operating environment. You need to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the Gold Coast in your bid. For example, in your proposed methodology, talk about Gold Coast specific issues. I.e. if you are proposing to conduct building and construction works that are located close to a school, write about how you will adjust delivery times accordingly. Anything you can do in your tender to demonstrate insight into the potential challenges of the project (local challenges) as well as your understanding of the local demography, economy and social issues.
- Employ locals and support the city. This is an important point as ensuring the benefits of any contract flow through to the community is important in any bid. Firstly, outline if you are a local business and where all of your employees are based – especially if they are based on the Gold Coast. In addition, talk about how you engage local suppliers – this is particularly critical for Council bids. A comprehensive local development plan that takes into account economic, social and environmental benefits needs to be developed and the initiatives you put forward need to be measurable and evidence based.
- Demonstrate insight into the unique challenges faced by operating on the Gold Coast. This is critical if you are bidding for a local contract. You need to show that you understand the contract and the opportunity and are able to foresee the challenges which may arise.
- Write in a concise, easy to understand and well structured way. In order to score well for any tender, you need to make it easy for the reader to review and and score. You can do that by writing in a simple and well structured way that answers the questions directly. Avoid general marketing terminology or highly technical terminology and present an easy to read solution using lists and sub-headings to break up text.
- Develop win themes that focus on your points of difference and are relevant to the buyer. Many businesses on the Gold Coast focus on themselves when developing win themes. It’s important to focus on the contract and how you can win by ensuring your bid stands out from your competitors. That means developing win themes for the specific contract, which may be different to win themes or unique selling points you have developed in the general market.
- Look into the future and foresee challenges. Many contracts, especially with Gold Coast City Council, are for three years or more. Therefore, when writing your bid or tender, you need to account for this. For example, if you are writing a bid for concreting services on the Gold Coast, and there is a major infrastructure program coming up in two years, you should talk about your ability to handle increases in demand in two years time.
- Provide evidence throughout your bid to increase your chances of success by increase credibility. When you are writing your bid or tender, it is important to provide evidence. Facts and figures need to support your claims as well as letters, documentation and testimonials from independent third parties.
