Strategies to help you win more contracts include:
Writing to the weighting criteria – It is important to review the weighting criteria and write accordingly. Most tenders will provide a weighting criteria. You will notice that some perceived less important components of the tender will have lower weighting. For example, there may be a 10% weighting criteria for local procurement for a tender response for Brisbane City Council.
When compared with 40% for previous experience it doesn’t seem like alot at all. Either way – you still need to write a comprehensive response and aim to score the full 10 marks. Why ? Well firstly, a mark is mark and some tenders and bids are successful based on 1 or 2 marks difference. Secondly, sometimes lower weighted questions are a great opportunity to differentiate and score well. Most of your competitors, for example, will have similar experience to what you do. However,
Our tender writing in Brisbane service provides a professional, responsive and expert bid and proposal writing service to businesses in Brisbane and across Queensland.
Talk the Government Talk (for Govt tenders) – When you are submitting to tender to the Queensland Government, or a local Council, it’s important to talk the Government talk. To a lesser extent – this extends to the private sector.
It’s all about how you will benefit Queensland. Think about and talk about he following in your submission:
- How will you ensure the downstream economic benefits of the contract flow through to the local community?
- How you will support disadvantaged groups as part of the tender (this is helpful when you are tendering to large corporations who like to show that their values align with their suppliers)
- How will the contract help you support local jobs and training?
- Do your values align with the Government department? What are you doing about the environment and how will any innovative environmental initiatives you employ as part of your service benefit this?
Incorporate win themes – You need to develop win themes to convey in your bid. These should be interwoven throughout your bid. It’s important that they key sales points are not your standard points of difference. As each tender is different – you need to tailor your win themes for the specific opportunity.
Look at the contract from the outside in – not the inside out. I.e. look at your business in the context of your competitors, bidding for this opportunity. Your normal key points of difference may not apply – and your win themes will need to reflect this point. Once you have established your win themes (for example, an innovative approach to safety), you need to introduce the win theme in responses to previous experience, equipment and resources etc. Not just in response to schedules with respect to safety.
For example, in case studies you put forward, you should not only talk about your performance on the case or project in terms of KPIs or deliverables, but also your safety record on that specific project.
