Strategies from our expert bid writers to help you win
- Bid for the lots you excel and specialise in. It’s perfectly acceptable to only bid for one of the lots especially if that is the service you specialise in. You should play to your strengths as bidding for one of the lots which you don’t have adequate experience in can hurt your credibility and prospects.
- If you are going to bid for multiple lots, make sure you tailor the response to the requirements of each lot. Do not cut and paste the response from one lot to another.
- Ensure you demonstrate your ability to comply with regulations specific to the utilities sector. You need to demonstrate that regulatory compliance is built into your policies, procedures and thinking / culture.
- Show that you can service the entire North West Region and have the geographic spread and mobilisation capability to do so.
- Focus on water and utilities experience if you have it and highlight this in your bid.
