Maximise your chances of a winning bid!
Of course, there are times the competition wins on price, the incumbent has an embedded, successful relationship with the client, or some other compelling (and unbeatable) factor. But why let anyone else win simply because their bid was better crafted to match the client’s needs? Or it explained in simpler terms the complexities of the expert product or service?
With Writing Bids, you can be sure your message will be heard and clearly understood, and your selling points will shine like a beacon throughout your bid to intrigue, reassure, and motivate.
Our supporting role can be tailored to your needs. Perhaps your team just need some help in polishing their existing skills, or maybe they need more confidence in their ability to communicate. Sometimes though, the changes needed are more fundamental. Maybe we can lead one high quality bid to ensure it is submitted in good time, while imparting hints and tips for the future. We will be pleased to respond and advise how we can assist if you outline your situation and needs to us.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the bid writing service cost?
The needs of our clients vary considerably including:
- Preparation time to understand the specification / requirements
- Number of questions to be answered
- Length of response and document size
- Service required i.e. reviewing, writing and/or proofreading, graphic design, to overseeing/ executing the entire bid process
- Your budget
- Timescales
As we tailor our support to meet your requirements, we will provide full transparency of costs, reflecting our level of involvement, the personnel required, and the deadlines we must meet. We are always happy to quote for your specific bid, so please do give us a call. Indicative costs are based upon a competitive day rate, plus expenses at cost.
A small premium will apply where tight timescales demand additional evening / weekend work.
How quickly can you turn around my proposal?
In reality, proposal documents are likely to require a measure of different editing styles: writing material from scratch, rewriting, editing and proofreading your bid document, depending on quality of content and time constraints.
Does the bid consultant need to be onsite?
We do work on site where required, having occasionally even worked in far-flung locations when urgent client needs dictate.
How many delegates can attend the training courses?
However, too big a group will lessen our ability to respond to specific questions or provide individual coaching. We recommend a group of up to 12 delegates, although tailored solutions are available for bigger groups, with interlinked training courses to ensure continuity.
Do you hold public training courses?
We have not taken this decision lightly, our experience of public training have highlighted vast differences in ability, requirements and even confidential conflicts. We therefore, even if only 1-to-1 training is required, will travel to your premises to provide focused training.
The disciplines of each client’s area of expertise drive the aims and content of each training session, yielding targeted improvements and support.
What post training support will Writing Bids provide?
Normally we will provide contact details for all delegates to seek reassurance and refreshers for 90 days or so after each training course. Extended support can be agreed by discussion.
