What Can a Bid Writing Professional Offer Your Business?

How can a bid writing professional benefit your business? That’s the question you may be asking yourself if you’re considering hiring a bid writing professional. The simple answer is a great deal.

If you’ve come across a tender but don’t know where to start, a bid writing professional can help. Here’s how…

1.    Increase your chances of success

A bid writing professional can increase your chances of success. Their expertise in bid writing is what makes them successful. They are well versed in the tendering process and what evaluators are expecting.

Their success rate will give you a good indication of whether or not they are worth using. If you’ve never tendered before, a bid writing professional can definitely increase your chances of success. They produce bids of high quality which is what a buyer is ultimately looking for.

2.    They can save you time and resources

Outsourcing a tender to a bid writing professional can save you time and resources. You’re busy enough as it is running your business. You may not have the time or resources to spare in order to write a winning bid. This is when a Bid Writer comes in. Some tender responses require all sorts of supporting documents as well as in-depth, detailed 1,000+ word answers.

A bid writing professional can allow you to keep on with the day to day running of your business, uninterrupted. A tender, depending on the size, may need to be split up with your team. This can take them away from their usual job. Can you afford for your team to be working on the tender as opposed to their regular jobs?

Giving this responsibility over to a professional can keep you running as normal. You can relax knowing that your tender is well taken care of and in good hands. After all, most bid writers can write, manage, and even submit the tender on your behalf.

3.    Ensure you answer every aspect in line with the specification

A buyer is expecting a high-quality bid response that is in line with the specification. A bid writing professional understands the requirements. They know what’s needed in order to submit a response that caters to every aspect of the specification. This is critical for a winning response.

A bid writing professional will work with you to achieve this. They are not experts in the field they will be writing about. They are experts in bid writing. Therefore, they will need your input about the running of your business to complete the tender. They can then format and apply this information catering to what a buyer is asking in the question.

4.    A wealth of experience

Your chance of success is likely to increase with the more experience you have. This can be applicable to a lot of things, but particularly for bid writing. You can take confidence in the fact that a bid writer has a wealth of experience. Their experience can be in a wide array of sectors. From technology to healthcare and creative to logistics – a bid writing professional isn’t a one-trick pony.

5.    Submit an error-free bid

Submitting an error-free bid can separate you from your competitors. If you think it comes down to two responses that are very high quality in substance. One has no grammatical or spelling errors, the other does. As an evaluator, you would award the bid to the error-free bid.

A bid writing professional will proofread your bid numerous times and likely by multiple people. This ensures that your bid is the best it can be. This attention to detail may be the deciding factor in the contract award. A fresh pair of eyes can help notice mistakes if you’ve written it yourself. So, even if you don’t want them to write the whole bid, they can help you in this aspect. The best bid writing companies will offer this service. 

What skills does a bid writing professional possess?

·     Exceptional writing and grammar skills

Following on from the last reason to hire a professional, they can offer you exceptional writing and grammar skills. They have a unique skill set that allows them to write successful bids. The way they convey information is unparalleled and great attention to detail goes hand in hand. They can use their linguistic skills to make sure your business stands out from the crowd.

·     Research

Whenever a bid writing professional is writing your tender response, they will conduct research. First-rate research abilities are another essential skill they must possess. Being able to research both the buyer’s requirements and your business is what they’re good at.

·     Time management

Great time management is a skill that every bid writing professional must possess. They often have multiple deadlines on the go at one time for multiple clients. These deadlines are often final, so their time management needs to be on point. This coincides with their organisational skills as keeping track of the various submission and clarification question deadlines are essential.

“Daniel and the team were incredibly professional and delivered a very high level of service with our tender application.

Unfortunately, we found out about the opportunity at the last minute, which meant that we required a very tight turnaround and the team went the extra mile for us to ensure that it was ready on time within the stipulated deadline. The application proved to be successful and we are delighted with the outcome.

Could not recommend any higher.”

After a short conversation, they quickly grasped the basics of our business and sector in which we operate. Jonny and the team took the stress and hassle away from us and we are very happy to say that we were awarded the first contract that we collaborated on.

We would highly recommend Hudson and look forward to future endeavours together.”
