A winning bid strategy: Techniques adopted by our professional bid writers
Bid writing is all about gaining new clients and retaining existing clients. It entails the use of win themes, writing techniques and simple English to increase your prospects of success when responding to requests for tenders, bids and proposals. Here at The Tender Team, we believe it’s identify and convey your key messages and differentiators prior to writing your bid. This enables us to integrate them strategically throughout your response.
It’s often best to work out your key messages and differentiators prior to writing your bid, and ensure these are conveyed consistently throughout your bid. The competitive landscape is equally important, as are ensuring your bid is readable and concise.
Often, senior executives only read the executive summary of your bid and the time and effort you put into bid writing isn’t truly appreciated. This can be the case for some senior executives, but not all, with many interested in the detail. Either way, tailored bid writing is critical to ensuring you draft an engaging and compelling proposal.
Expert techniques we adopt, and our clients can adopt themselves, to win bids include:

| Clear and concise writing | A critical ingredient for any successful bid. Avoid jargon and marketing fluff. We will ensure your writing it concise and on-point. |
| Simple english | This is to appeal to the different procurement personnel who review the bid and may not be technically minded. |
| Answering the ‘so what’ | Often invisible but an important question to address. We write your bid to put forward your experience and expertise and answer the ‘so what’. I.e. how it will apply to them and what evidence you have to back it up. |
| Providing evidence | This can be done in many ways. From reports, emails from clients, third party or internal documentation and facts and figures, evidence is critical to reassuring the reader and putting forward a compelling bid. |
| Incorporating infographics | A particularly useful strategy for explaining complex solutions in easy to understand manner. We put together impressive and compelling graphics to maximise scoring across all criteria. |
