• Develop quality graphics that make your bid look and feel professional.

Strategies to help you win more tenders and bids

Respond comprehensively to each question – Government and private sector tenders are generally scored against a weighting criteria. This means that you need to respond comprehensively to each question and score well for each question. For example, for some tenders to the South Australian government, questions on the environment are worth as little as 5%. However, those few marks can be the difference between winning and losing the contract. Put them time into preparing a solid response to secure it.

Use graphics and infographics appropriately -A nice, clean, professionally presented document with well thought out infographics is generally considered best practice. Having a magazine style marketing brochure can often frustrate the reader. Graphics are best used when they convey meaning. If you are to insert images, as opposed to infographics – it’s usually best to insert real life images that demonstrate your capability.

Take them time to develop detailed infographics that convey solutions to complex problems in a simple and easy to understand manner. Government departments and private industry don’t mind reviewing infographics that add value. They just don’t like to read a generic tender with stock images.

Tailor to the bid to the client – It is important to tailor the bid to the client and the opportunity. You need to focus on the client. Write for the client. Think about what the client is looking for. Provide a tailored solution. This generally increases the workload of preparing your tender but will result in a better outcome.

Your proposal needs to read like it’s been written for the client. That means using the active voice and talking about:

• How we will assist ‘you’
• How our capabilities align with ‘your needs’
• Our solution for ‘you’
• ‘We will deliver you a quality service which exceeds your expectations’.

As you can see, the language needs to focus on the client. The content and response needs to focus on the client and the specific project you are looking to secure.
