Bid writing strategies to help businesses in Derby and the wider Derbyshire region win contracts and frameworks

Our team of bid and tender writers have provided bid and framework writing support to businesses in Derby and the surrounding area. Strategies that local and regional business can adopt to win more public and private sector contracts include:

• Focus on your local capabilities and contribution to the local economy. This is particularly helpful when bidding for contracts in Derby or if you are bidding for a contract in another city. You need to show that the downstream social, economic and environmental benefits for the contract will through through to the local community if you are selected. Talk about how you will spend locally, support local suppliers and transfer information to local workers. This is a key benefit to the procurement organisation you are bidding to and the local community.
• Provide a detailed methodology that demonstrates insight into the requirements: When you are writing your bid and tender, it’s important that you not simply answer the questions, but demonstrate an understanding of the challenges you may encounter when delivering the contract. This can be reflected in your methodology, answers to safety, or answers to other questions. The readers and reviewers want to know that you have thought through the contract, what resources you will allocate to deliver it, and how you will deliver it. This enables you to set yourself apart from your competitors throughout the procurement process.
• Write concisely and include evidence. Short sentences. Concise writing, Bullet points and lists. Lots of evidence to back up any claims. These are all ingredients of a quality tender, bid or framework application. You need to fit as much high scoring content as possible into your response and need to ensure you comply with the requirements. Avoiding general marketing talk or generic statements and writing a proposal that is to the point will help you score well and work within prescribed word limits.

Client Testimonial

We had a must win bid come up for one of our key contracts. We searched for a bid writing consultancy and freelance bid writing support in Derby and the team at Tsaks Consulting UK came up. After an initial conversation, and a quote, we decided to proceed. We are very happy with the outcome. They are focused on winning and quickly got across the requirements of the tender. We had a bid kick off meeting and we were all organised with what we needed to do by when. Where we provided content, they worked through it and re-wrote it and it was much much better than what we had written. The Tsaks team really focus on winning and scoring well for each question. They also made the bidding process (which is usually quite messy and chaotic for us) seamless and we felt like we were on top of the process the entire time. Overall, we were very satisfied with the service provided and would recommend the Tsaks Consulting UK team to any businesses in Derby or across the UK who needs help with winning bids and frameworks.
