Security Tender Writing
Security is a highly competitive industry, with both public and private sector clients relying on the formal tendering process in order to award contracts for services ranging from manned guards and CCTV monitoring, to keyholding and mobile patrols. In order to secure these contracts, bidders need to submit detailed, compliant and compelling bids that clearly demonstrate your capabilities, value, and trustworthiness.

Key Challenges Faced When Bidding in the Security Sector
Winning security contracts isn’t only about capability; it requires submitting a compliant, persuasive and well-structured bid – one that showcases everything you can do, and how well you do it. Many providers face the same challenges when it comes to bidding, problems that can impact their chances of success.
Buyers expect clear evidence of SIA licensing, BS7858 vetting, and certifications like ACS or ISO 9001. Simply listing accreditations isn’t enough; bidders need to show exactly how these are applied across operations, training, and service delivery.
Security tenders often include detailed questions on topics related to mobilisation, risk management, safeguarding, and social value. Many responses fall short by being too generic or missing the mark on evaluation criteria, meaning they may lose out even if their offering is spot on.
Clients increasingly want more than low cost – although that still remains a priority; they’re looking for innovation, environmental responsibility, and positive local impact. Security firms often struggle to communicate these strengths in a way that resonates with those on the receiving end of bids.

At BWS, we understand the complexities of bidding for contracts, particularly within the Security sector. Our team of expert bid writers can help you navigate these challenges and create a strong, competitive proposal that highlights your strengths.

I can not recommend BWS highly enough. Our first call with Luke was professional and built an immediate trust in the business. Lauren then took on our project at short notice with a 48 hour turn around time. She went above and beyond to ensure it was completed on time. We are now going to have a conversation about building a bid library and them becoming our exclusive supplier.
