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

With the rapid development of the gold coast and surrounding areas, and depth of the economy and different sectors, there are tendering and contracting opportunities for businesses from all industries.

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. We have helped local builders, maintenance businesses and tradies and contractors win contracts. For example, we have assisted a local concreter to bid for and retain his existing contract with Gold Coast City Council. Furthermore, we have helped maintenance businesses secure contracts in the private sector for the maintenance of large hotels. Our team has also assisted civil and infrastructure contractors to win tenders for roads maintenance and surfacing. 
• Medical and health. We have helped allied health providers as well as GPs and other medical practitioners to write and win contracts. These include helping local businesses win state government tenders for services in regional Queensland as well as for the operation of health facilities on the Gold Coast. We understand the industry and have experience writing health sector bids across the country. 
• Defence: This is a unique industry and there are some players located on the gold coast. They generally bid as part of consortiums or directly to the department of defence. We know the ins and outs of Ausdefcon tenders.
• Community services and other sectors. We have helped local Gold Coast businesses (and organisations including not for profit organisations) bid for community services and social work contracts. We have also helped businesses from other sectors including professional services (lawyers and accountants) and equipment supply businesses.

2025 guide to winning tenders in the Gold Coast

In addition to adopting tender and bid writing best practice strategies, we recommend businesses:

• Tailor their 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.
• 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. 
• 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.

Jason and the rest of the team at The Tender Team are great.

They help us create professional, tailored and polished proposals and they bring a wealth of professional services experience.
