Our team of writers are experienced in assisting Tier 1, 2 and 3 construction companies as well as organisations from other industries to secure major contracts across New Zealand. We understand the New Zealand market and landscape, know how to navigate Government requirements, and how to project manage a major bid from start to finish.

Managing large and complex bids and tenders

Tenders for major projects are almost always highly complex with many different stakeholders. It is usually a job in itself to not only write the tender but also project manage the tender response process. Our bid writers have the organisational and writing skills to assist in this regard. We have worked on bids and tenders for many of New Zealand’s largest infrastructure projects.

As a result, we have the capability and expertise required to help our clients win – and are able to manage multiple stakeholders including joint venture bids where relationships with joint venture partners need to be navigated.

How we will help you to write tenders and bids for large construction and infrastructure projects

Our team of bid writers are ready to interweave your win themes, ensure your bid tells a story and help you manage and write your next bid. We will:

• Develop a tender response plan: That will give your organisation the best chance of success.
• Coordinate Subject Matter Experts and key stakeholders: To gather the necessary information and ensure that the content is quantified, based on evidence, and answers the ‘so what’ test.
• Write the response: In a clear, concise, well-structure and easy to read manner.
• Edit and proof-read the response: To ensure there are no spelling or grammatical errors.
• Identify and convey win themes: These are integrated throughout the bid to ensure you deliver a clear consistent message.
• Design and incorporate graphics and infographics and much more: This ensures your bid is well presented and that complex technical solutions are communicated clearly in an easy to understand manner.

Bids and tenders for major projects are highly complex and often involve joint-ventures between large corporations. Our team understand how to navigate these situations and ensure you submit a compelling submission.

Working on tenders and bids for major projects beyond the construction industry

Our tender and bid writing experience extends beyond construction to include:

• Maritime: We have worked on large bids in the maritime sector including global contracts of the supply of products to the shipping industry.
• Information and Communication Technology: These are highly complex bids and tenders to government providing technical solutions as well as large scale equipment supply tenders. We have worked on technical software solutions also helping international corporations bid for NZ government contracts.
• Engineering: These are similar to construction projects but often relate to infrastructure projects such as tunnels, highways and other major projects such as airport upgrades.
• Agriculture: Our experience includes bidding for international contracts and government grants. These grant applications are highly complex and our team has the capability to assist in preparing these grants.
• Oil and Gas: We work closely with our Australian team to service clients in the oil and gas sector.
• Recreation, Hospitality and Tourism: For large tourism operation bids, there are highly complex tenders and are also highly lucrative. Our team has extensive experience putting in place operational plans for these bids and tenders.
