An increasing number of companies are discovering the value of hiring professional bid writers. Whether they choose a freelance bid writer, or the high-quality services provided by experienced agencies, such as us at Bid & Tender support, the aim is usually the same.
Businesses hire professional bid writers to free up their time, outsource complicated and time-consuming processes, and to make use of the bid writers’ unique skills and experience.
Bid writers are able to secure a significant amount more work for businesses, meaning more revenue and profit. Here at Bid & Tender Support we are proud to say that in just ten years we have secured an additional 1 billion pounds in revenue for our clients.
If you are considering hiring bid writers to help secure more work for your business, then you have a range of options open to you.
You can choose to work with a large bid writing corporation, a smaller and more boutique bid writing corporation like Bid & Tender Support with a range of bespoke options, or to hire an individual freelance bid writer.
The option you select depends on how quickly you need to complete the bid, how experienced you expect your chosen professional to be, the nature and complexity of the bid itself, and your individual budget.
Below is a list of Industries we have considerable experience both with sourcing Tenders and Writing/Reviewing/Managing Responses:
Freelance bid writers can be found in a range of ways, whether through an internet search, an advertisement, or a personal recommendation.
The advantages of freelance bid writers are that they can be more affordable than larger corporations, and can often be flexible with their availability.
While some freelance bid writers may have a specialism or a sector they are more experienced in, others may have a variety of experience, having working on a range of different freelance projects.
The potential drawbacks of a freelance bid writer might be that finding a reputable, vetted bid writer you can trust means trawling advertisements and databases to find a good fit. This can be time consuming and inefficient — especially if it leads to disappointment.
Freelance bid writers may also have a number of clients making demands on their time at any one time, meaning that you may not be able to expect the same bespoke level of service that slightly larger companies offer.
Freelance bid writers can provide a great, attentive service. But here at Bid & Tender Support we believe we offer a few key advantages over freelancers.
To help demonstrate the ways we can assist clients in winning bids and securing lucrative contracts, we will now present a real-life case study of the work we did for a previous client in the construction industry.
The client was an established, medium-sized construction company that had been in business for 45 years. Their output was high-quality, featuring a mix of both traditional and contemporary ideas to deliver creative and innovative work.
They approached us because they had a problem; they were submitting regular bids to one main buyer, but despite the fact the buyer liked them and their work, they would consistently lose out on the contract by small margins – often just 1 or 2 marks.
It was clear to them that enlisting the help of an experienced and professional bid writer could make a substantial difference to their business, so they contacted us.
During our initial meetings with the client, we reviewed several of their previous bids to see where they had been losing points, and created a plan and a process to ensure that these marks would not be lost during their bidding process in future.
Specifically, we identified which bits of information were missing from their unsuccessful bids, and what crucial details they had not included which would have made their bids a lot stronger.
We then worked with them to collect this information, and conducted a thorough review of their upcoming bids to check their tenders before submission. Our input here added significant value to the final bids which were submitted.
The outcome of our work for this client was very positive; our help and support raised their quality marks from 3/5 or 4/5 up to 5/5, and this allowed the client to secure a number of exciting and high-profile business opportunities within their local area.
