There is a certain challenge that comes with
being a tender writer. Writing a tender proposal
takes a lot of time and effort and due to the
competitive nature of the industry the tender
writer will follow some standard tips and
pointers to get the most out of their tender
writing.
3

• While it may be stating the obvious it is
  extremely important that the tender writer Sydney
  answer the questions included within the request
  for tender document.
• It is equally imperative to answer the questions
  in the specific order they are presented in and
  follow any formatting expectations included in
  the RFT.

4

• These selection questions or criteria are what
  they will be judging the tender proposal on and
  failing to answer them fully can see the tender
  proposal rejected out of hand.

5

• The tender writer Melbourne will most frequently
  use an active voice in their proposal as
  generally the active voice is more succinct and
  direct and gets the message across more readily.
• The tender writer will also ensure they keep
  their proposal concise the team responsible for
  reading and evaluating all the tender proposals
  will certainly appreciate it if the writers cut
  out the padding and are more direct in their
  message.

6

• When developing a tender proposal, the tender
  writer is setting out to explain exactly to the
  funder what is in it for them if they award the
  tender to the applicant.
• The tender writer informs them how your skills,
  knowledge and experience will benefit them and
  how your organisation goals and objectives align
  with their requirements.
• It is all about selling the applicant as the best
  candidate for the tender.

7

• While the tender writer is highlighting and
  emphasising the benefits of their client winning
  the tender, they are also aware that it is not
  wise to claim we are the best/fastest etcetera
  without proving and validating those claims.
• This is where evidence will be required, be it
  letters of endorsement from previous clients,
  statistical data, awards won or even awards
  nominated for these things back up the claims
  and ensure the tender applicant is viewed in a
  professional and favourable light.

8

• Providing specific evidence of how the tender
  applicant organisation or company has made a
  positive difference in the past by using examples
  adds dimension to the application and enables the
  tender writer to write a relevant and specific
  brief about why this applicant is worthy of
  winning the tender.

9

• The tender writer not only concentrates on the
  words and language within the tender application,
  but they also make sure the proposal document is
  laid out in a visually appealing, easy to
  navigate and read format.

10

• They will use headings, sub-headings, bold font,
  bullet points, white space and a clear
  professional font to ensure the people who will
  be evaluating the proposal can find all the
  information they require to make a judgement
  after all they will be receiving many bids and
  the easier yours is to evaluate the more
  positive, they will feel about the process.

Considering the competitiveness of the tender
process and the high stakes in funding available
it makes smart business sense to engage a

success.
