Strategies to help you UK businesses win tenders in Europe
In addition to adopting the usual bid and grant writing strategies to achieve success, we generally recommend UK businesses who are looking to secure funding or contracts in Europe:
- Make alliances with local EU partners where possible. This can be through developing joint ventures with EU based businesses, or alternatively, working closely with EU businesses or subsidiaries and bidding for tenders jointly. This gives your tender, bid or grant application added strength whilst still enables you to keep control and actively manage the bid process.
- Tailor any and all of your existing documentation to the EU. Talk about your presence in the EU and how your culture and business aligns to the specific EU country you are bidding for a contract in or the EU as a whole. Demonstrate your understanding of the EU organisational objectives and mission and ensure you showcase how your organisation and proposed service will align with these.
- Write in a positive, professional tone in the active voice. EU tenders are generally quite technical. It is important to simplify your writing and ensure you do not overuse any technical jargon. Write in a clear and concise manner to get the best results.

Client testimonials
The Tsaks Consulting team were great. They are across all of the EU funding application opportunities so they were able to quickly advise us of which of the two funding opportunities we were thinking of bidding for we actually had the best chance of winning. They know the EU terminology and they are professional and responsive to deal with. The biggest advantage of dealing with Tsaks Consulting UK is that they also have the Tsaks Consulting Greece team. We ended up working mostly with the Greece team as they write EU funding applications and tender applications all day long. Dimitrios is great as were the rest of the team and they were all fluent / native in English. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Tsaks Consulting UK and our funding submission and we are waiting on the result. We have passed the first stage so fingers crossed. We would recommend Tsaks Consulting UK to any businesses or organisation in the UK looking for support in writing bids and tenders in the EU or alternatively, bid for a government contract in an EU country. They also have a good network of translators.

Hi Tsaks Consulting team, thank you all very much with this EU bid. As a construction company based in the UK, and post-brexit, bidding for a contract in the EU is not something which we had in mind but when we were approached about a JV opportunity we felt it was worth a shot. Then came the long search for a bid writing in the UK with European experience. That’s where we found you guys and you have been a lifesaver. You are professional writers and provide a professional service which is great. But the real benefit and why I have no hesitation in recommending your services is the communication, project management and coordination you provide. This has been absolutely outstanding and in our case, the bid was complicated by the fact that it was to the European Union and also that we were bidding as part of a consortium. Thank you for all your help and happy to be a reference should you require.
