What does our bid and tender review service entail:
Our service is designed to provide constructive criticism that your team can act on to improve the bid (and future bids). We will:
- Review each question and your response structure. Our team will ensure you have covered all the possible points in each question. We will cross-check your interpretations of key words in the question (such as demonstrate) and will ensure that you have responded to the question as well as any underlying issues that may be the driving force behind the question.
- Conduct a line by line review of your bid checking for spelling and grammatical errors. We can use technology as such AI and spell and grammar checking to assist with this but will also review your spelling, sentence structure and grammar as we are reviewing the document.
- Refine and rewrite components of our proposal to ensure the writing aligns with best practice and incorporates positive language, is easy to read and is well structured. We will tell you where you may consider introducing graphics and infographics, and where you need to provide additional evidence. For example, you may have included a case study in one of your responses and referred to positive feedback from the client – however, if you haven’t provided evidence it doesn’t mean anything to the reader and may lack credibility. We will tell you where you need to provide evidence and the type of evidence you could provide.

More often than not, large chunks of text can be turned into infographics and graphics. In addition, infographics are a great way to summarise and present complex solutions in a simple and easy to understand manner.
