When we are appointed to write a bid, we tailor our solution to suit you but the procedure is generally as follows:
A Bid Perfect associate reads the tender document and then consults with the client. The purpose is to establish:
- Background to the bid
- Key selling points, themes and messages
- Access to all relevant information needed to write the bid effectively
- Open communication channels with all stakeholders in the bid
Our Writer will then produce a first draft and submit it to you for your comments and notes. Once these have been received, a second draft will be produced for final approval, and, assuming approval is given, we will send the document to a professional proof-reader. If required, we will print and bind your document for you, as well as manage its delivery. All files will be supplied to you at end of project
This is our most basic service and we write bids for many organisations. We have a great deal of experience in this role and you can rest assured that your bid will be:
- Written to the highest standard and compliant with best bid practice
- Managed by a bid expert with appropriate experience and ability
The cost of our writing service is based on a day rate which varies according to the scope of the bid project and the expected length of engagement. If you would like further detailed information, please request a full explanation by clicking on this link.
Bid perfect also supplies general business writers for report writing, web text writing, presentation and pitch creation, marketing copy and all other general business writing tasks.
Total Outsourcing Programme - TOP
Some of our clients prefer the option of outsourcing the production of part or all of their bid management process. This too is a service Bid Perfect can provide to you.
There are many reasons to consider contracting out your bid writing, which are primarily to:
- Eliminate your internal costs of production
- Eliminate the effort and time spent on bid writing
- Ensure the highest quality of bid at all times
Essentially, the Bid Perfect TOP service works as follows:
- We will assess and analyse the level of work required to write and manage the number of bids to be outsourced; both over the course of a month and then annually.
- This enables us to determine the level of personnel required and the resources to be employed.
- Once established, we will draft a Service Level Agreement for your consideration, based on an annual contract, with a mutually agreed notice period.
- Methodologies and processes will be encapsulated in the SLA and both parties will become signatories to the agreement.
We usually provide this service for relatively small companies which do not have the resource, time or expertise to be writing bids regularly. However, we have also provided outsourcing to larger organisations to cover holiday periods, maternity leave and extended periods of illness.
Deciding whether or not an outsourcing programme will be right for you requires relatively detailed discussions and we will certainly need to visit you and discuss your needs in depth.
