What is Bid Preparation?
For many businesses and industries, bid preparation is a pivotal part of growth aimed at equipping that company with the necessary resources andinformation to submit a competitive tender. Bid preparation involves creating a tailored bid library, analysing the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents, and developing an answer plan that dissects the requirements of each tender question, and ensures the answer is detailed and comprehensive.
At BWS, we are working with some of the fastest growing companies in their respective industries, building out robust Bid Libraries to set them up for even more success in the months and years ahead. By developing a genuine Bid Library, you are giving your business the absolute best fighting chance of success on all upcoming bids, you’re making the entire bid process much more efficient and you are making the process more cost effective.
Your unique Bid Library will be built to suit your distinct requirements, ensuring you have a comprehensive library that can be used for tender responses. Your Bid Library will be 100% unique to you and your company. We will work with you to fill in the gaps in your existing Bid Library, including case studies, policy documents, boilerplate responses, Social Value and so much more.

Analysis & Planning
The first step in bid preparation is to analyse your current collateral and tender requirements. A GAP analysis will show the gaps in your existing bid library vs the possible questions on the upcoming tender. From there, we aim to get your organisation 'Bid Ready'; this means ensuring that your bid meets the basic requirements, and stands out from the crowd. Depending on the timeframes around the tender being released, there may be an opportunity to build out some genuine ‘best in class’ boilerplate responses ahead of time.
Interviewing Subject Matter Experts
As part of the bid preparation process, we may need to conduct interviews with your subject matter experts. Here we can gain valuable insights and information that can be used to strengthen your bid. Input from experts also ensures that your bid is technically accurate, and reflects your organisation’s expertise.
Aligning With Industry Standards
Throughout the bid preparation, the utmost care is taken to ensure that all details submitted align with your industry standards. This is crucial, as buyers often look for bids that demonstrate a deep and thorough understanding of the industry’s challenges and requirements.
Appointing a Bid Lead
At this point in the process, you will be appointed a dedicated Bid Lead to manage the process from here. Your Bid Lead will work closely with you to determine realistic timelines and desired outcomes, and are incredibly important for coordinating team members, managing the bid library, and ensuring that all elements are cohesive and consistent.
Communications
Where many bid preparations fall down, we thrive. BWS prioritises strong communication, providing regular updates throughout the entire process to keep you fully informed and involved. This ensures transparency and allows for any necessary adjustments to be made along the way.

The million dollar question… Don’t worry, it’s certainly not that much!
We appreciate that outsourcing your tender writing is an investment. Each bid is a unique project and as such we need to review the tender documentation in order to provide an accurate price. We will discuss and formulate a cost that is feasible and manageable to you.
It benefits our clients when we work on your tenders with some ‘skin in the game’ and operate on a fixed fee win bonus model. Our pricing is fully transparent and there will never be any ‘added extras’. You will be quoted a fixed fee for the work but we will reduce our fee as much as we can and include a win bonus… If you win, we win, if you lose… Let’s not talk about that!
