All your tender responses will be written from the bottom up. Our professional bid writers use a persuasive, compelling narrative which showcases your company and highlights its key differentiators and unique selling points. We never just copy and paste or use generic boilerplate text.

Your firm may be a multinational working across several sectors, and bidding into the private sector, or an SME business applying for local government contracts. Regardless of size, sector or previous tender writing experience, we can help. We understand bidding for contracts can be time-consuming for your business to complete in-house (tender submissions may have a word count of 10,000 words upwards), and our expert tender writers can take the writing process off your hands.
