What is tender management?

Tender management services include the effective overseeing of the entire tendering journey. This can include the planning and submitting of tender responses while reviewing and tracking the progress of work produced by tender writers, also known as bid writers.

Why is it beneficial to outsource tender management services?

For the best possible chance of securing a tender, good tender management is key! However, overseeing the entire tendering process can be both time-consuming and resource-draining for many businesses — particularly for SMEs which may lack the in-house team/support required.

This is due to the fact that tender management services require these steps:

Analyse and extract the requirements of the tender
Plan a solution to meet the requirements
Plan a realistic timescale for the completion of the tender process
Manage the tender writers who will be producing the content
Draft and communicate with the client for further information
Produce a competitive pricing structure

Note: Sticking to tight deadlines is vital for a successful tender process, as missing a deadline can delay the entire process. You don’t want a stressful submission!

What are proposal management and bid management?

The same as tender management! Depending on your location, tender management can often be referred to as proposal or bid management. These are terms most commonly used in the US — referring to RFPs (Request for Proposals) and bids.

Good tender management

So you know what tender management is, but what makes for good tender management?

Here are our top tips!

Every tender is different – you can’t apply the same process to each, however having a standard routine as a guide will help you keep on track.
You must always allow for mistakes! Whether this comes from the submission or writing process, tender management is hardly ever plain sailing. However, good tender managers will be able to foresee, adapt to and overcome these roadblocks.
Planning is important! This sets the tone of the tender process. If you fail to plan effectively, your entire team can be led astray and this affects your ability to meet the submission deadline.
Calm presence – The tender process can be stressful even when everything goes according to plan. This is why it is crucial to have a calm and organised presence managing the process. If a tender manager remains coolheaded in a crisis, this puts the tender writers at ease, plus the extended team and the company as a whole.

Professional Tender Writers

John Hudson — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 09:00:42 +0000

Professional Tender Writers

Where do I find professional tender writers?

The best way to find professional tender writers near you is to search online. You can search for tender writers located in your area using search terms such as “professional tender writers near me” or “tender writers in [your city].” You can also search for tender writers in your industry or specialized areas of expertise.

Once you’ve identified a few writers, you can reach out to them for more information about their experience, pricing, and availability. At Hudson, we have 4 office locations in London, Manchester, Durham and Florida in the United States.

We boast a dedicated team of over 50 professional tender writers.

Do I need to recruit a professional tender writer near me?

That depends on the size and complexity of the tender you are writing. If you are writing a simple tender, you may be able to handle it on your own. However, if the tender is complex and requires in-depth knowledge of industry regulations, it may be best to enlist the help of a professional tender writer.

Professional tender writers have knowledge of the latest tender guidelines and can help you to ensure that your tender is written in a way that meets the requirements of the solicitation.

What are the benefits of using a remote-based professional tender writer?

Using a remote-based professional tender writer can provide a number of benefits. First, they can provide access to a wider pool of resources and expertise. They can also provide a more convenient and cost-effective way to get the job done.

Additionally, remote-based writers can often provide faster turnaround times, allowing you to submit your tender quickly and efficiently. Finally, working with a remote-based professional writer can provide more flexibility to the working process, allowing for easier collaboration and communication.

What constitutes a professional tender writer?

A professional tender writer is someone who has expertise in writing tenders and has a thorough understanding of industry regulations and guidelines. They should have knowledge of the language used in tenders and have the ability to work quickly and accurately.

Professional tender writers should also have excellent communication and collaboration skills, as they will often be working with a variety of stakeholders to ensure the highest quality results.

10 things to consider when recruiting a professional tender writer near you!

Experience: Make sure the writer you choose has experience in the industry and with the type of tender you are writing.
Location: Consider the proximity of the writer to your business, as this may affect the turnaround time of the tender.
Price: Make sure you understand the cost of the writer before making any agreements.
Expertise: Look for a writer who has a strong understanding of industry regulations and guidelines.
Communication: Make sure the writer is able to effectively communicate with you and other stakeholders.
Quality: Make sure the writer understands the importance of producing a high-quality tender.
Feedback: Ensure the writer is willing to provide feedback on drafts and revisions.
Timelines: Make sure the writer is able to meet your deadlines and timeline expectations.
References: Ask for references from other clients to ensure the writer you are considering is reliable and effective.
Agreement: Make sure you have a written agreement that clearly outlines the terms of the engagement.

Tendering: definition and how it works

John Hudson — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 09:00:08 +0000

Tendering: definition and how it works

What is tendering?

The tendering process is where a buyer, in need of goods/services, issues an invitation called a Request for Tender (RFT) to suppliers. Suppliers will then submit a proposal/tender to provide the goods/services. Finally, the supplier will be chosen by the buyer!

Tendering vs bidding?

What’s the difference between tendering and bidding? They’re the same! The term ‘tender’ is most commonly used in the UK, while ‘bid’ is used most readily in the US.

The Tendering Process

Opportunity advertised by the buyer
Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) – If a closed tender, a PQQ is issued to identify suitable suppliers, who will then proceed to the ITT stage.
Invitation to Tender (ITT) – If an open tender, the process begins here for any suppliers.
Evaluation of Tender Submissions – Once all the tenders have been received, they are evaluated against criteria and how they suit the buyer’s needs.
Award of Contract – Now that a supplier has been selected, they are awarded the contract and the work can begin!

What’s an RFT?

An RFT (Request for Tender) is released by the buyer to suppliers, outlining their demands and the terms and conditions of the contract. This includes:

Tender conditions – including how to respond to the tender.
Tender form – details needed from the supplier in their response.
Scope – required details from the supplier regarding their goods/services provided.
Evaluation criteria – how the buyer will evaluate responses.
Conditions of the contract – details of the legal contract if awarded.

Note: it is vital to follow the buyer’s criteria to a T!

Other tendering methods

The term ‘tender’ can confuse those not familiar with its processes as it is often commonly used to refer to the RFT, Request for Quote (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Information (RFI). However, these terms can also vary in terms of the documents required from the supplier and the outcome of the request. For example, an RFI is simply the process of gathering information from suppliers regarding their goods/services. However, an RFQ is the process of suppliers submitting quotes for their goods/services.

Who can tender?

Anyone! Many different businesses in various sectors, of various sizes tender for opportunities. In short, the public and private sectors, including non-profits, use the tendering process.

Tendering is most common in these industries, though it is not limited to only these:

Tendering is mostly used by:

Government
Council
Education
NHS
Non-profits
Various private-sector businesses

Advantages of tendering!

Tendering can benefit suppliers (vendors) and buyers alike! Here are just a few top benefits of tendering:

Buyers

Competitive tendering allows the buyer to get the best value for money possible, by selecting the supplier with the most advantageous price.
Tendering has many stages to ensure the supplier chosen has been sufficiently screened in terms of reliability. This decreases the risk for the buyer!
Depending on the style of tendering (open vs closed), there is usually a fair and balanced tendering process when selecting a supplier.

Suppliers

Visibility – making your reputation known to buyers by building a portfolio of successful relationships with other buyers can increase your long-term financial stability.
Expansion – similar to increasing your visibility, expand your business by developing a portfolio of successful relationships with buyers to expose your business to new opportunities.

Top 10 Bid Writing Skills

John Hudson — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 10:00:18 +0000

Top 10 Bid Writing Skills

First…What is Bid Writing?

Bid writing, also known as tender writing, is the process of creating effective and high-quality content on behalf of a company in order to win a tender/contract or general business opportunity. Typically, bid writers will complete PQQs, ITTs and other aspects of the tender process for the client.

A bid writer is someone responsible for the success of this process.

Expert bid writers must be able to deliver persuasive, well-communicated content to win a tender. Also, they must have knowledge which is transferable across many different industries/sectors.

Our Top 10 Bid Writing Skills

Wondering if you have what it takes to be a bid writer? Here are our top 10 skills you will need!

Written Communication

An invaluable skill when wanting to become a bid writer. You must have experience communicating effectively through your writing. It is not simply about writing clearly, or concisely. You must be able to persuade the buyer that your client is the best possible option. You must also be able to write with considerable detail, to demonstrate your client’s skills and evidence of success through case studies. Striking the balance between being concise and detailed is challenging, however, an expert bid writer should be no stranger to this task.

Verbal Communication

Similarly, being able to communicate verbally is a valuable skill for a bid writer. The assumption that bid writers only need to be able to communicate through the written word is wholly inaccurate. Bid writers will often liaise with clients on the phone, face-to-face and on video meetings. It is, therefore, important that bid writers can update and query their client using their strong verbal skills. This satisfies the client that their bid writer is easily relied upon, accountable and effective in their planning process.

Attention to detail

As aforementioned, a bid writer must have strong attention to detail. This involves both the research and writing process as a bid writer must be able to swiftly pluck relevant information for the tender, write with sufficient detail to persuade the buyer of the client’s suitability and eradicate inconsistencies/errors in their written work.

Time management

Having excellent time management skills is crucial to the success of a bid writer. Not only must a bid writer be able to plan effectively, but also meet all internal and external deadlines they have been set at every stage. Failure to meet internal deadlines will result in a rushed tender which will likely not contain enough detail to meet the buyer’s criteria. Failure to meet the final deadline will absolutely result in a failed tender.

Note: It is always a good idea to leave yourself several days spare in your planning process for any internal/external factors that may occur and delay your bid. Submission portals are notoriously unreliable, so never submit at the last minute!

Strategic Thinking

The ability to think strategically is a valuable asset to have when becoming a bid writer. Before writing, as part of your planning process, you should already have a bid strategy. This means that when it comes to creating responses to the buyer’s questions, you are prepared to answer in a way that shows your client in the best possible light.

IT Software

A good knowledge of various IT software is vital for any bid writer. You will be required to communicate across platforms and have access to tenders as and when they become available. Opportunity tracking platforms are necessary to finding a client new bids.

Research

Bid writers must be able to conduct effective research and collate evidence on behalf of their client in order to develop and provide convincing arguments. They will research the client’s sector extensively to be able to tailor their argument to the client’s cause with confidence and accuracy. Conducting research will be included in their planning process before the actual writing begins.

Teamwork

Although bid writers have a great deal of independent responsibility, there is rarely one bid writer working on one tender at a time. A typical bid team will involve:

Bid management
Bid administration
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
Bid writers
Graphic designers

It is crucial for every bid writer to be able to work collaboratively with other bid writers and those involved at every stage of the tender/bid process. Good teamwork also involves strong planning and time management, to keep all those involved held accountable and knowledgeable of the deadlines met and the ones left to meet.

Adapt under pressure

Being a bid writer can be stressful. The combination of strict deadlines and the potential for juggling multiple bids can be challenging to the most experienced bid writers. This is why it is vital to be able to adapt under pressure and the key to coping is planning! Keeping on top of things but also knowing when to be flexible when a client changes their mind is vital. Plans change!

Independence

While you will work as part of a team as a bid writer, you will be expected to be held accountable for your contributions to the team. It is important that you can prepare, plan and write effectively without prompts from others, as others will also be relying upon you!

Why Be a Bid Writer?

There are several reasons why the career of a bid writer is advantageous. Here’s our top reasons:

Highly transferable skills

The skills required as a bid writer are skills which are needed/desired in most professions. Strong written and verbal communication skills will always be valued, as will organisational skills. Also, adaptability and coping under pressure are necessary for the ever-changing nature of most businesses in various sectors.

Work variety

Every bid/tender that a bid writer undertakes will likely be in a different industry than the previous one. Undertaking research on many different sectors is vital to a bid writer’s success. Therefore, work variety is part of the role and can be an exciting prospect if you enjoy researching and writing on a variety of topics.

Career progression

A bid writer will have great opportunities for career progression within their respective companies. Not only will your skills be transferable, but you can also progress to the role of team leader, senior bid writer or bid manager.

Highly valued

Bid writers are highly intelligent and hard-working individuals, which makes them attractive prospects to many employers. However, many companies simply do not have the means to employ an in-house bid writer and hire the services of a bid writer outside of their normal operations.

What if My First Bid Is Not Successful?

So, you know the top bid writing skills needed for success…but what happens if your first bid is unsuccessful?

Don’t fret, always ask for feedback from the buyer. All submitted tenders have flaws, unsuccessful or otherwise. Therefore, it is vital that you find weaknesses in your argument and improve. When approaching the feedback stage, ensure you are armed with questions to present to the buyer to achieve the best, most detailed review.

Some questions may concern the following topics:

Have you hit the relevant deadlines?
Did you provide all the information needed?
Did you give enough detail in your responses?
Was the client’s business eligible for that bid?

Once I’m a Bid Writer…What’s Next? Our 6 Top Tips!

Read all the documents before you start, including undertaking the relevant research
Plan and document your process – this will keep you and your team members accountable and in the know about deadlines!
Proofread your work before submission
Compliance – follow the buyer’s instructions to a T!
Relevant case studies
Strong written and verbal communication – this is the way to stand out against competitors!

Tender Writing Tips: 7 of the Best FREE Tips from Professional Bid Writers

John Hudson — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 06:00:48 +0000

Here’s 7 tender writing tips from professional Bid Writers!

Looking for free tender writing tips? Have you ever wanted to sit down with a bid writing professional and see what it takes to win? Well, at Hudson Succeed, our experts are more than happy to offer support. In this blog, we will cover seven of the most important tender writing tips. Keep reading to see how you can increase your chances of success!

1. Use writing and communication to your advantage

Here’s our first tip: make sure you have a great grasp on writing and communication skills. You can use these to your advantage when writing a tender. As you may have guessed, writing skills are important for writing tenders. This isn’t just about spelling and grammar, although these are incredibly important. Writing a good tender means using writing skills to communicate with the buyer. You should clearly express your skills, experience, concepts, and more, in the best way. Your tone should be persuasive. Afterall, you are trying to convince them that you are the best option for the contract.

Essentially, you want to use writing and communication to make yourself memorable. That doesn’t mean you should go to any extremes, as you should remain professional. But executing these abilities and showcasing them in the best light will give you an edge over competitors.

2. Don’t use technical jargon

Following on from our first point, next on our list of tender writing tips is to not use technical jargon. Since your bid should be clear and easy to read, adding technical jargon will work against this. There is a very high chance the buyer has little to no knowledge of your industry. So, using words they won’t understand will instantly make it a chore to read your bid. They’ll be confused and may have to research what something means (if they have the time, which is unlikely).

Ultimately, if your bid becomes difficult to read, you’ll leave the buyer with a bad impression. In turn, they will likely avoid awarding you the contract as they won’t fully understand your tender.

3. Proofread your work before submission

Even the best writers will make mistakes in their first draft, no matter how small they are. Our next tender writing tip is the importance of proofreading and editing your bid proposal. You should never submit a first draft when tendering! There’s almost certainly going to be mistakes, even minor ones you might not notice at first. The issue is that the buyer likely will notice them, as it is their first time reading the document. Plus, they are reviewing it thoroughly.

Our Bid Writing Consultants suggest that you thoroughly proofread your bid several times. It can be beneficial to take breaks and then read it, as you are more likely to notice errors. You should also read it aloud, or have your device read it aloud to you. This makes it easier to notice anything that doesn’t sound quite right. If you have the team members, you could ask other people to read it too. The more it is proofed, the higher the quality. If you submit a bid full of errors and mistakes, the buyer won’t take you seriously. They will get the impression that you are lazy and unprofessional. So, they certainly won’t want to award you the contract.

4. Read all the documents before you start

One of our most important tender writing tips is to read all the buyer’s tender documents before you start. This way, you can prepare your bid and make sure you cover all the important details. The last thing you want is to complete an excellent bid, only to find you missed an important part. This will result in your bid being a complete waste of time and effort.

5. Use bid management skills to stay on track

One of the best ways of staying organised is through bid management. Here are a few things to consider for effective bid management:

How long will each individual question take?
Do you need to create case studies for responses?
What do you need to attach for each question?
Where is the response to be submitted and with what deadlines?
How is the work to be submitted? Some buyers require physical submissions as well as online.
What format do they require your responses in?
Who will be responsible for developing responses?

The more prepared you are, the less likely you are to have made mistakes. If mistakes happen, you’ll also be prepared to deal with them efficiently and effectively. This ensures time isn’t wasted and the bid is submitted on time and of the highest standard.

6. Ensure you use relevant case studies

Next on our list of tender writing tips is the importance of case studies. These should be showcased in your bid proposal as it is evidence of your skills and experience. The buyer wants to feel assured they can trust you with their contract. So, you need to make it as easy as possible for them to put their faith in your abilities.

It is also important that your case studies are relevant to the bid you are going for. Irrelevant case studies do more harm than good. This is because it shows you don’t have relevant experience, firstly. Then, it shows you haven’t bothered to check whether it’s relevant.

It is an added bonus to be able to include testimonials for the case studies you showcase. We wrote a blog for more tender writing tips for case studies.

7. Be compliant with the instructions

For the last of our tender writing tips, we will discuss the importance of compliance. You may be surprised to know that there are those that don’t follow the buyer’s instructions. This massively impacts your chances of success. Why would the buyer award you the contract if you can’t follow instructions for the bid?

When the buyer gives a specific word count for your answer, stick to it. For example, if they want 1000 words, get as close to that as possible. If your answer is only 500 words, it shows two distinct issues. One is that you can’t follow instructions. Secondly, is that you don’t know enough about your business to answer the question fully. Both are detrimental to your chances of success.

Summary

So, now that we have come to an end on our blog of tender writing tips, let’s recap!

Here are the seven tender writing tips we explored:

Use writing and communication to your advantage
Don’t use technical jargon
Proofread your work before submission
Read all the documents before you start
Use bid management skills to stay on track
Ensure you use relevant case studies
Be compliant with the instructions.

Bid Writers Near Me: Here’s Why Closer Doesn’t Mean Better

John Hudson — Wed, 04 May 2022 08:00:48 +0000

Searching for ‘Bid Writers near me’? Here’s what you should consider…

Have you found yourself searching for ‘Bid Writers near me’? It is understandable that many people will assume that services closer to them are more suitable. But this isn’t always the case…

Here at Hudson Succeed, we have offices in Durham, London, Manchester, and Florida. We have also supported businesses all over the world!

We know that many businesses will likely look for local businesses for help. In this blog, we will discuss whether these professionals are you best option. As well as what other help there is available to you. Keep reading to learn more…

Why do so many businesses search for ‘Bid Writers near me’?

Many businesses will opt for local Bid Writers for several reasons. Firstly, they may believe that it is more suitable. In some cases, this can be true. For example, a local business will work to the same time zone. Therefore, there won’t be a limited timeframe for communication. This would be the case if a business hired a Bid Writer on the other side of the world.

Similarly, some businesses may prefer to do things in person. They may want to meet with their Bid Team. It mainly comes down to personal preference. They may even trust local businesses more and want to support other local companies. However, this mindset can be limiting when it comes to your choices of Bid Writing Professionals.

Why can outsourcing remote Bid Writers be more beneficial?

Since the pandemic, we have become ever more aware of how much we can use technology to our advantage. Schools and places of work were able to continue because of our access to technology. Working with a remote Bid Writer would work similarly. They’ll be able to have phone and video calls to clearly discuss the project if this is preferred. Afterall, talking directly to someone can make things easier than via several emails.

By limiting yourself to ‘Bid Writers near me’, you may be missing out on the best expert for you. Local Bid Writers may not connect as well with you and your business. Many businesses in London actually use Bid Writers in the North East. This is because their prices are considerably cheaper without London office overheads.

We have won contracts for businesses all over the world. So, we can confidently say that doing your research can benefit you far more. See which Bid Writer suits you best, rather than one that is close to you for convenience.

Summary

Let’s recap everything we covered!

Many businesses prefer searching ‘Bid Writers near me’ out of convenience. This is especially the case if they want to meet in person.

However, this can limit the quality of Bid Writers available to you.

Still got questions about Bid Writers? Feel free to contact us! We are always happy to help.

Win Tenders: Everything You Need to Know to Succeed

John Hudson — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 08:00:46 +0000

Want to win tenders? Here’s how you can increase your chances of success!

If you’re wondering how to win tenders, then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Hudson Succeed, we have over 60 years of experience with writing tenders and proposals. We also have an 87% bid success rate, so we are confident in our ability to help you.

A lot of work can go into writing a bid proposal. If you are new to tendering and unsure of the bid process, it can seem overwhelming. Don’t worry! It isn’t as bad as it first appears. Continue reading to learn the various ways in which you can increase your chances to win tenders.

What are tenders?

If you are completely new to the tendering process, you may want to know more about what tenders are. This is a key part of how to win tenders . You need to know what you’re in for! In short, a tender (also known as a ‘bid’) is a document submitted for a contract.

This contract will be for goods or services that are required by the contracting authority. For example, a company may require a new logo and branding. So, they’ll likely put out a contract for a suitable creative agency to deliver these services. Since they’ll receive several bids, they will need to find the most suitable through a vigorous evaluation process.

A lot must be considered during this process. If you are bidding for a public sector contract, the process is a lot more transparent. The buyer must go with the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT). This is so that there are no buyers choosing suppliers for personal reasons that put other suppliers at a disadvantage.

Where can you find tenders?

If you are wondering where to find a tender, then we have some solutions. Afterall, before you can win tenders, you need to have suitable contracts to bid for.

Most people will begin a tender search by using a search engine such as Google. This is understandable, as we rely on the internet for a lot of information in recent times. This helpful tool can give you results instantly. For example, if you search ‘nursing tenders’, you’ll see plenty of results. The issue is how long it takes to go through these results.

Many sites will not feature breakdowns of the contract. You’ll have to read through these lengthy tender documents to even see if you are suitable for the work. This can take hours of your time. Running a business is hard enough, and you likely won’t have the time to dedicate fully to this. So, what solutions are available to help with this issue?

Tender tracking portals

There are many sites out there that track tenders, making it easier to find them as they’re in one place. In turn, this makes the process quicker so that you can move on to how to win tenders. This saves you having to scour through endless sites in an effort to find remotely suitable contracts for your business. Our sister company, Hudson Discover, has 11 sector-specific tendering portals. One centralised and easy-to-navigate portal can help you save time, streamlining the process.

They are:

What makes Hudson Discover unique?

Ideally, you should be searching for a sector-specific site that posts all unique, public and private sector opportunities. Our sites are unique as we don’t use CPV codes when we source our opportunities. This means there is no risk of missing a tender due to a coding error.

Our Opportunity Trackers manually upload new tenders daily and send out a tender notification. This way, our users can stay updated with the day’s most recent additions.

These portals are specifically designed for industry users to easily find suitable contracts. We use a filter system so that users can easily find what they’re looking for. So, users can search by keyword, dates, locations, and budgets. This way, you can easily narrow down your search!

How to win tenders

To win tenders, you need certain skills. Here are a few that can boost your chances of writing a winning tender.

1. Professional writing and communication skills

As you may have guessed, writing and communication skills are critical for writing a winning bid. To win tenders, you need to persuade the buyer that you are the right fit for the job. You need to communicate your skills, experience, ideas, and concepts clearly. The last thing you want to do is confuse the buyer. This will make them a lot less likely to award you the contract. They won’t want to have to stop and research something if you haven’t explained it clearly.

Our Bid Writers recommend that you don’t use industry jargon when writing your bid proposal. This is because the buyer is unlikely to be an expert in your industry. Therefore, they won’t know what you are referring to. To win tenders, you need to be as clear and concise as possible.

Writing skills are important for ensuring the quality of the bid proposal. You want your bid to be as professional as possible. Check out our third point for more information on the importance of proofing your proposal!

2. Bid management abilities

Being able to win tenders means you need excellent organisation skills. By staying organised and prepared, there is less risk of missing important information. This is why a pre-bid plan can also be highly beneficial as well.

It is important to conduct bid management as tenders usually have a lot of documents. The workload needs to be organised to ensure it is completed in time. This is especially the case if you have a short deadline. The last thing you want is to be rushing at the last minute. This panic can lead to making mistakes and forgetting certain information. Plus, if you miss the deadline, even by a minute, your bid will not be accepted.

3. Editing and proofreading skills

As promised, now we will cover the importance of editing your proposal before submission. Even if you have excellent writing skills, you still need to proofread your proposal. Little mistakes can always find a way to hide. Often times, you won’t even notice them at first. This is why we suggest you have different people proofread the proposal to be sure nothing is missed.

If you have various mistakes within your proposal, the buyer may not choose to award you the contract. This is because it gives the impression you are not thorough with your work. So, the work isn’t of the highest standard that it has the potential to be. It makes you seem unprofessional, and this is not the impression you want to give!

Bid reviews

If you want to win tenders, then Bid Writers can certainly help but conducting bid reviews. This should be done by your team, even if you don’t hire an expert. This is also different from proofreading. You need to ensure that all tender responses meet requirements. Check that you are fully answering the question, and so on.

It isn’t essential, but it will definitely be a benefit for the review to be conducted by someone externally. This way, they are more likely to see the response more critically. They can identify areas where you might ramble or not answer the question fully. This review allows you to see which areas you can improve, and in turn, you can increase your chances of success.

We have a Tender Mentor service to help you if you’re seeking to outsource your bid review. Our Bid Writers will go over your bid, ensuring that the bid you’ve produced is of the highest quality. This is an external guide and review service. Our service allows you to eliminate any mistakes and generally improve your final response before submission.

What if you don’t have these skills or the time? Who can help you win tenders?

If you are worried that you don’t have the time or skills to complete a bid, then help is available! You can turn to the experts for bid writing help. Professional Bid Writers have these skills and the experience needed to take on any tender. Here’s why it can be more beneficial to hire a Bid Writer to win tenders:

They have the experience to win tenders – Having experience is a huge benefit as Bid Writers know what works and what doesn’t.
They have the skills – Bid writing professionals have all of the skills mentioned above. So, they know how to write a high-quality proposal.
Bid Writers save you time – They take the project off your hands so you can focus on your usual responsibilities.

Summary

So, now you should know a few of the key skills needed to win tenders. Let’s recap what we covered!

What are tenders?

When an organisation require certain goods or services, they’ll likely rely on a supplier. They will send out a contract to deliver these goods/services, and suitable suppliers can bid. The best suited supplier will be awarded the contract to carry out the work.

Where can you find tenders?

To find a tender, we suggest using a tender tracking portal. Our sister company have 11 sector-specific portals, they are:

Our portals are unique as we don’t use CPV codes to find opportunities. This means we never miss a tender due to an error in the code. You can rest assured that we can provide all the most up-to-date contracts available for you to bid for.

How to win tenders:

Professional writing and communication skills – These are crucial for getting your ideas across to the buyer.
Bid management abilities – You need to be organised to ensure you get the proposal completed on time.
Editing and proofreading skills – Your bid needs to be of exceptional quality, so it must be proofread.
Bid reviews – As well as being proofread, your bid should also be reviewed. This is a process specifically to assess how successful the bid is likely to be.

RFP Tenders: Everything You Need to Know

Kathryn Wright — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 11:27:42 +0000

Here’s everything you need to know about RFP tenders

Do you have questions about RFP tenders? Perhaps you are wondering where to find them, or how to win them. Maybe you simply want to know what they are. Here at Hudson Succeed, we strive to support and educate anyone who wants to learn more about tendering.

Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about RFP tenders…

What is an RFP tender?

Starting at the beginning, what are RFP tenders? Well, RFP stands for request for proposal. This is a type of tender where buyers request any suitable suppliers to bid for their contract via a proposal. This proposal is often complex and in-depth. This is because the supplier must go into detail about how they will carry out the work. They must also show why they are the best choice.

There are a few different types of requests, including RFIs and RFQs. You may also have heard the term invitation to tender (ITT). This usually comes after suppliers have completed a PQQ (pre-qualification questionnaire). We wrote a blog dedicated to addressing the differences between them which you can read here.

How to find RFP tenders

To find an RFP tender, you can simply use search engines such as Google. Opportunities will be available on various websites. This can take hours of scouring a lot of sites, however. To streamline the process, you may prefer to use a tender portal. Our sister company, Hudson Discover, have 11 sector specific portals. They are:

By using a tender portal, you can save hours of your time which can be used more productively. What is great about our portals is that we don’t use algorithms or CPV codes. This means the opportunities on our portals are all legitimate and categorised correctly. You can use filters to see contracts based on keywords, location, budget, and deadline.

How to win RFP tenders

There are two options for winning an RFP tender. You can choose to write the bid yourself or turn to a professional Bid Writer. If you opt for writing it yourself, there’s certain skills you will need to ensure the highest chance of success.

1. You’ll need expert writing and communication skills

As you might expect, to write a bid you’ll need excellent writing skills. You’ll also need to be able to communicate ideas and concepts clearly. You don’t want the reader to be confused when reviewing your bid. So, these skills are essential for getting your case across.

2. Bid management is essential

Bids are often complex and require a lot of work. If you aren’t sure how to approach one, it can even feel overwhelming. It is important to read the buyer’s documents clearly and to note down important information and key dates. Bid management is one of the most important parts of tendering. Without it, you’re likely to miss key details and this will easily lose you the bid.

Here at Hudson Succeed, our bid management consultancy services can help you every step of the way.

3. Editing abilities

Similarly with writing skills, you need to have a keen eye for detail to spot errors in your bid. This is a really important stage that our own Bid Writers take very seriously. If your bid is littered with mistakes, it gives the impression you are unprofessional and not thorough. You want to submit a bid of the absolute highest standard, so you need to check it for mistakes. Our Bid Writers proofread bids multiple times with peers to ensure any mistakes are rectified.

Why you should choose a Bid Writer for your RFP tenders

Many businesses choose to hire Bid Writers to handle their RFPs. This is for several reasons, including:

· Bid Writers save you time

By turning to a Bid Writer, they handle the entire bid for you. This means you can spend your time more productively and continue with your usual responsibilities. Some businesses choose to write their bid themselves, but this can put a massive strain on their workforce.

· Bid Writers have the experience needed

As you can imagine, Bid Writers are experts at what they do. This means they have the years of experience needed to know exactly how to approach bids. They know how to break down tenders into manageable chunks. This means they can get everything done with plenty of time to spare for the submission stage. It also ensures no details are missed.

Summary

Now let’s summarise everything we have covered.

An RFP tender is a type of bid where suppliers can submit bid proposals for a particular contract.

To find an RFP tender, you can use search engines. However, you will save more time by using a tender portal such as one of our 11 sector specific portals:

To win an RFP tender, you can write the bid yourself or turn to a Bid Writer. To win an RFP tender yourself, you’ll need the following skills:

Recruitment Tenders – How to be successful

Robyn Crawford — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 13:46:59 +0000

What are Recruitment Tenders?

Last updated: Dec 17, 2021 @ 9:42 am

Outsourcing is still front and centre for many corporations. The public sector outsources major functions to specialised and efficient service providers. With one main outsourced function, being recruitment.

Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting, shortlisting and appointing suitable candidates. Often for specific job roles within an organisation.

There are many reasons why an organisation may choose to outsource recruitment. The most common reasons include:

Reducing and controlling operating costs;
Improving company focus;
Gaining access to world-class capabilities;
Freeing internal resources for other purposes;
Streamlining or increasing efficiency for time-consuming functions;
Maximising the use of external resources;
Sharing risks with a partner company.

The process will start with a recruitment tender opportunity, published by a public sector organisation. This will then generate competing offers to meet the specific requirements. These will be outlined in the contract notice.

The advantage of public sector tenders is that no matter how small your recruitment business, there is always an opportunity to supply the government.

Standing out from your competitors

There are so many Recruitment agencies in the market currently. We know you will feel a bit ‘lost in the crowd’. It is so important to stand out when tendering for contracts.

The real key to standing out is understanding what sets you apart from your competitors.

So, what can you do to exceed expectations?

Know your Unique Selling Point (USP) – where do you add value? Look for your gap in the Recruitment market and own it!
Care about your brand, not just your numbers! – targets are always going to be a top priority in Recruitment. However, it is important to think strategically. If you want your clients to be your biggest marketers, give them reason to be!
Sell Differently – rather than focusing on selling the best CVs to clients, why not try something different? Offer a service that is totally tailored to their needs.

Questions to look out for in Recruitment Tenders

We have worked on many Recruitment Tenders and have won a considerable amount.

Due to this extensive experience, we have detected a pattern in quality questions.

When wanting to outsource the recruitment function, buyers tend to ask very similar questions. Likewise, they have comparable expectations.

Questions to look out for are:

Methods and Processes

Buyers want to know what processes you have in place, in order to get the job done. They need to know what internal systems you use, as this all affects the quality of the service you deliver. TOP TIPS:

What is your general method for candidate provision?
Do you have a step-by-step recruitment process?
Have the internal systems you use been successful in other contracts? If so, what statistics can you provide?

Knowledge and Coverage

The buyer wants to know about your recruitment tactics. How do you stay up to date with current trends in the market? And how your current network will allow you to provide candidates, especially when given short notice. TOP TIPS:

Discuss how you undergo sector-specific market research and analyse trends;
Market Mapping – identifying holes in the market;
Mention what networking works for you? i.e. conferences, events;
Maintain a dedicated Account Manager – the buyer will want to see fully qualified recruitment specialists taking the lead. Those that have years of successful experience in the field.
Provide statistics – powerful evidence will increase your chances.

Account Management

How will you build a successful strategic relationship with the buyer? They want to know your processes for making all communications transparent. What plans do you have in place to ensure constant, sufficient resources? TOP TIPS:

Be adaptive – tailor your services to the unique requirements of each client’s workplace;
Provide a step-by-step guide on how you will ensure a successful partnership. i.e. undergoing an operational analysis, attending performance reviews;
Provide the buyer with your company organogram. It is important for them to visualise the key members of staff you are proposing. Highlight their relevant experience.
Discuss how you would determine a successful candidate to an unsuccessful candidate. As well as how you would communicate these decisions to candidates.
Determine the challenges you may face on that specific contract. Draw up a risk assessment on each potential challenge. Set out your proactive and reactive solutions. Mitigate the risk before it has even happened.

Top tips for winning Recruitment Tenders

Recruitment and the supply of staff is something that will be constantly sought after by a range of companies. Especially by the public sector. This is due to not having the time nor capacity to complete recruitment tasks in-house.

Due to our extensive knowledge of recruitment tenders, we know exactly what the public sector looks for. Likewise, the questions they like to ask. Here are our top tips for winning these tenders:

Are you choosing the right recruitment tender?

It is important to read through and fully understand specification requirements. It is crucial that you comprehend exactly what the questions are asking you. You need to ask yourself a question. Can you commit to this contract?

Are your recruitment systems and processes properly documented?

Public sector buyers require detailed and thorough explanations. As well as hard evidence. They want to know HOW you are going to deliver this contract.

Have you collected strong evidence from previous experience?

Providing relevant evidence and case studies is crucial. The right testimonial can overcome scepticism and create credibility.

Do you have a clear plan for delivering the service?

How do you intend to fulfil the contract? In other words, do you have appropriate resources? How will you meet ongoing demand?

Do you have strong compliance and safeguarding procedures in place?

It is important to state what policies your recruitment agency have in place. How do you implement them?

Do you give extra value for money?

Public sector opportunities are awarded in accordance with ‘best value for money’. This is best known as MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender). When have you saved your clients money and time? Be prepared with statistics and be proactive.

Sourcing the opportunities

Saying that the team at Hudson make the transition into bid writing smooth and natural. Hudson has a clearly documented bid writing process and follows a pattern of best practice. This makes it easy for any new bid writer to get to grips with the rules of procurement.

The Hudson Succeed team is made up of approachable and extremely supportive bid writers. So even though you may feel a little flabbergasted at first, you will carve a niche for yourself.

Being a bid writer is a brilliant profession, with more and more organisations realising the benefits of procuring sales through an effective and efficient bid writing team.

Hudson Succeed recognises the need for bid management teams, for companies that don’t have their own procurement departments, hence why we offer such a range of services to our clients.

Perhaps you don’t have time in your busy schedule to focus on the tendering process, or perhaps you’re interested in tendering but don’t know how to approach it?

Our bid writers are on hand to guide you through the process, no matter what kind of tenders you’d like to go for.

Our Bid Writing Consultants are highly skilled across many industry areas and will set aside time to assess your needs as a business.

A day in the life of a bid writer

First things first…. Coffee!

As professional bid writers, our day successfully begins with a nice cup of coffee. This is to get the day started and our brains stimulated. Before we get down to the nitty-gritty of writing compelling bids!

At 9am, before our day fully begins, we have a fifteen-minute team huddle. This is an opportunity for the Hudson Succeed team to get together and discuss the projects we are working on, and how they are progressing.

Being a bid writer means constantly sticking to tight deadlines.

Discussing the progress of our projects allows us to plan workloads for the day. It also ensures we never miss those stringent deadlines.

Our team huddles also allow for discussions on contract wins, contract losses and any feedback given from buyers. We feel it important to know what we are doing well, as well as areas of change that we see across both the private and public sector procurement space. This is to enable us to constantly improve our bid writing services and our already fantastic win rate of 87%.

After this time, our tender writers start to focus on their own projects. Alongside this comes liaising with clients, doing research and filling out PPQs and helping out colleagues with proofreading.

Daily Activities

Ultimately, we complete tenders and PQQ’s in order to secure new contracts or funding.

However, there are so many significant tasks that make up our daily workloads. These include:

CVs;
Case Studies;
Extensive research;
Accessing & managing portals for submission;
Bid Management;
Bid content development;
Blog writing;
Communicating with clients, over email or phone communications;
Policies and procedures;
And so much more.

A bid writer and the tasks they do make the role one of the most important positions in any organisation.

Our responsibilities

Our team was created with the client in mind. Each of our many different packages can be tailored to your business, providing individual service to your company.

The team provide a consistent service, ensuring all the businesses we engage with are fully supported by each member of the team.

As part of our job roles, we are all bid writers. Project Management is a huge part of our role, and to stay on track we regularly schedule meetings to discuss how far clients are along and new ways we can work to improve their success.

In a recent meeting, we discussed utilising a new project management tool, so all of us as bid writers can work collectively to understand each other’s clients and workloads, enabling us to jump on and help others on particularly busy days.

We are currently working internally through Hudson Labs to develop technical specifications to build a product that will serve the team and our clients. This database will help us further in scheduling products and improving efficiency as a team.

Writing tender responses

The main part of a professional bid writers’ role is completing PQQs, ITTs and quality questions. This means that a large portion of our day can be spent creating innovative content for our clients.

Most writing can be planned in advance. We like to make sure we are being succinct enough to showcase our client’s services within restricted wordcounts. Our professional bid writers are real wordsmiths with excellent levels of grammar and exceptional writing abilities.

Many of our bid writers have published works, and the expertise and quality they bring to professional tender writing is absolutely critical to creating and winning fantastic tenders for all our clients.

Writing tender responses is a time-focused task. We often work to tight deadlines and our professional bid writers ensure they set aside enough time to complete the contracts before submission.

We always allow for a two-step review stage in-house. This is to ensure that the tenders we submit here at Hudson Succeed are of the highest possible quality. At Hudson Succeed, quality is our top priority. When you sign up to any of our services, quality is always our mission.

Managing bid writing for multiple clients

Our team of professional bid writers are well-rehearsed in working reactively. With constant deadlines, we work instinctively to what needs doing the soonest.

In a typical day, you can see our bid writers handling up to four different bids for that coming week. To do this they ensure the following:

Enough time has been planned in to be able to fulfil the needs of the tender and submit on time.
Quality questions are fully answered and detailed meticulously with brilliant information about our clients.
We have had enough information from the client to be able to create any CVs or case studies needed to boost the proposal.

Juggling a busy workload is something our professional bid writers grasp with ease. We have a natural ability to write passionately about our clients, ensuring they are presented in the best possible light to potential buyers.

Our professional bid writers are experienced in all stages of the process. This means that no matter where you’re at with your tendering journey, we have a dedicated team on hand to deliver bids for you.

Writing for different industries

On an average day, it’s quite normal for our bid writers to be working reactively across different bids. This means you could be working on a cleaning tender in the morning, then switch to a creative or digital tender for the supply of smart boards for schools in the afternoon.

This means our workdays are incredibly varied, which is a great positive for our professional bid writers. Writing for different clients and industries is incredibly important, and we’re proud to say that we can cover any industry.

Our commitment to learning and research has seen us develop ten sector-specific portals, ensuring our knowledge reaches far and wide in terms of business. It’s because of this we’re able to write instinctively and with gusto about different sectors.

To find out more about the different industries we currently work across, please visit Hudson Discover.

Other commitments

By the afternoon, there may be meetings to attend and new clients to account for. For all tenders we commit to, we ensure the client is fully aware of what an opportunity entails before suggesting they go for it!

This means we’re likely to point out and find anything that may trip you up in one of our handy breakdowns. Our tender breakdowns are designed and created by our professional bid writers.

This is a great way of ensuring when we put forward a client for a bid, they have a great chance of winning. Our motto is: we write to win! And we make sure we see this through on every single tender we submit.

With our aims high, we always make sure that our clients are fully supported throughout the tender process. We understand it can be a minefield of acronyms, but we’re here to keep you grounded!

Once a client has decided that a specific tender would benefit them, we’ll create a bid plan. Our professional bid writers will focus on creating a schedule and gathering information needed from the client. We put this all into a handy format that is easy to understand and digest.

We think it’s really important to take time out in our day to fully engage with our clients – although most of the time we do have our heads down writing fantastic content! We’ll send out a bid plan on the same day a client decides to go for it, ensuring they’re supported from day one.

Writing the bid

Now comes the part most feared by most business professionals – the actual bid writing. If it’s something you dread, then fear not! Our team of professional bid writers can take this task off your hand, whether it be ad-hoc for the one-off tender or as a retained client looking to pursue new avenues of work through outsourced Tender Management.

To find out more about how an interim bid writer or perhaps a whole team of professional bid writers could integrate with your team.

We offer a range of services dedicated to providing excellent support where YOU need it.

We’ll work with you to create the perfect bid response. We’ll gather all the information from you about your business, including policies, working practises and methods.

With this information in mind, we’ll really get a grasp of your goals and aims, ensuring we pour as much passion into our writing as we possibly can. It’s always our plan that our bids will shine and stand out in the crowd, and with an 87% success rate at winning bids, we can ensure brilliant quality each time.

Each bid is different. Never forget it. This means that our professional bid writers can tailor your content to suit the needs of each bid you decide to tender for. Decide what’s most important to you and your company and we’ll include it.

Traits of a successful bid writer

Since starting a bid writing career at Hudson, it is evident that essential personality traits and skills are required.

Successful bid writers must be able to:

Read and understand how to answer nuanced questions;
Present information that is concise, consistent and correct;
Persuade and influence through effective use of content, form, structure and style.

To complete the above successfully, bid writers need:

Excellent writing skills

I bet you are thinking ‘oh the obvious’, right? However, you need a specific set of writing skills. A professional bid writer will write in a language and style that suits the buyer and their requirements.

The evaluators may not be technical experts, so it is important to get straight to the point. We always say, ‘if the response has to be read twice, it will lose points’ – Don’t be fluffy!

Superb proof-reading skills

Here at Hudson, we have a three-stage proofreading process. This is to ensure that typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors are picked up and corrected.

Attention to detail is paramount to any bid writing team. Ultimately, good grammar will help the readability of the tender response.

Good story writing skills

Professional bid writers require the ability to write a good story. A successful tender will ‘paint a picture’ in the buyers’ mind, from implementation to contract commencement.

What will the supplier deliver? What makes this supplier stand out from their competitors? Why are they the correct supplier for us?

These questions will be answered clearly throughout our responses. We have the ability to develop our stories in a relevant and persuasive style.

To be compliant

Compliance allows for a common language between bid writers and evaluators. Being compliant and demonstrating this in the tender response is an essential skill.

This will ensure that any mandatory or desirable criteria is met and reiterated through the response. Conclusively, increasing the chances of a win.

Brilliant researching skills

To be a successful bid writer, you need that inner Sherlock Holmes. You need a crime, a detective and the solution. A good bid writer will seek to fully understand the client’s Unique Selling Points (USPs). This typically includes researching all aspects of the client’s business by:
Scoping their website;
Reading through case studies of previous projects;
Speaking to the technical professionals within the company, who can provide a more in-depth viewpoint.

To be committed

Irrespective of how well a tender submission is managed, it can still get manic. It is sometimes impossible to meet a deadline by working 9-5 hours.

It is important for a bid writer to be committed to their role – those extra hours of overtime should not be a problem.

Perks of being a professional bid writer

There is no question about it, bid writing is a challenging role. Nevertheless, it is one of those most rewarding.

For example, a junior bid writer role is unique from so many other entry-level positions. Notably, it gives the new bid writer a 360-degree view of a company’s business, products and services. It is a valuable role that not only builds skills vital to business success; it is also a rewarding long-term career.

Some of the ‘perks’ of being a bid writer include:

Quickly becoming a company and industry expert
Professional bid writers are subject matter experts. They work with a wide range of industries on a day-to-day basis. In a short time, bid writers are exposed to the most current content on multiple company products and services. Bid writers will ultimately gain expertise in each field over time.
Communications with senior management
Due to bid writing companies being really close-knit, senior management are always nearby. They show significant interest in all of their employees. As a bid writer, you have the unique opportunity to build relationships and prove your worth. This type of visibility opens doors for further opportunities and success.
Your work has significant impact
bid writers are knee-deep in creating compelling content, critical to winning huge contracts. This is definitely inspiring and leads to better job satisfaction overall. You get the opportunity to become a real thought partner and advisor to the business.
Transferrable skills
As a professional bid writer, you learn highly transferrable skills such as:

Extensive attention to detail;
Project management skills;
Persuasive and compelling writing capabilities;
The ability to build and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders.

The skills you learn as a bid writer are extremely important and critical to success within any industry sector.

Team Collaboration

Being a bid writer promotes the importance of fantastic teamwork. Collaborative working calls for success – especially when trying to hit those stringent deadlines. Working together, interacting and sharing ideas, can speed up our solutions.

Here at Hudson, we always:

Have a common purpose and goal – to win bids!
Clarify roles from the start – minimising overlaps in workloads and decreased productivity;
Communicate openly and effectively – allowing for a positive work culture and establishing transparency;
Appreciate the diversity of ideas – learning and growing from each other;
Balance the team focus – we love to get together for team exercises at Hudson.

It is important to remember that talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.

Tackling tenders

Let us know what types of opportunities you’ll most likely be going for and we can organise daily opportunity tracking, sourcing excellent contracts on our 11 sector-specific portals, dedicated to providing you with endless opportunities that will fit to your business.

The opportunities we find will be sent directly to you, therefore this saves you time, cutting out the endless scrolling through portals trying to find something relevant to you.

We know the tender marketplace can be tricky, with many tenders not labelled properly with CPV codes – this is why we don’t use them.

Our sites are designed for ease of access, meaning we use keywords instead. These keywords are designated to specifics within that tender, meaning if you’re focusing on IT systems within secondary schools and the installation of Windows 10, the tender will be tagged as such. This then narrows down your search when using our platforms!

Tendering teamwork

Once you’ve found an opportunity that really suits, and you’re interested in participating, the tender process has begun. We’ll take care of the whole process from start to finish (if you’d like us to!). You always have the option of submitting yourself if you wish!

Us Tender Coordinators are often habitual creatures, and we love to follow a process. That’s because processes work and get results.

We follow the same intuitive steps below to ensure success:

Breakdown – we’ll fully breakdown the opportunity to outline exactly what the tender entails and what is expected from you.
Bid Plan – we’ll always create a bid plan for you, so you can see the direction in which you bid will take.
