Experienced & Certified
Our team is fully accredited and with years of experience under their belts.

We see this as a partnership; working alongside you to see the project through.
Always Delivered On Time
We work to your deadlines, and at yourpace. Think of us as an extension of your in-house team.
More Than Bid Writing - We're a Business Growth Engine...
Our retainer package is your unfair advantage in the tender market.
Whether you're bidding for 5 contracts a year or 50, our retainer scales to your pipeline. We've supported SMEs from their very first tender all the way through to businesses with a high-volume bid strategy - and helped them win. Our award-winning team becomes your competitive edge, month after month.
Most bid writers focus on the words. We focus on the win. From day one, we take the time to understand your business, your strengths, and what the buyer actually wants to see - because that's the difference between a submission that looks good and one that gets awarded.
Our writers think like evaluators. Every response is structured to make it effortless for scoring panels to award full marks - because we know exactly what they're looking for.
How It Works — From Day One to Contract Win
Initial Consultation & Onboarding
We start by getting to know your business inside out. We'll discuss your goals, the types of contracts you want to win, and your typical bid pipeline. You'll be introduced to your dedicated Lead Bid Writer, who becomes a long-term extension of your team.
Opportunity Monitoring & Pipeline Planning
Your dedicated writer proactively monitors tender portals and frameworks relevant to your sector. We'll alert you to upcoming opportunities and help you plan ahead, so you're never caught off guard by a tight deadline.
Bid Writing & Submission
When a suitable tender arises, we get to work. We manage the entire bid writing process — from kick-off and storyboarding through to drafting, quality review, and final submission — all within your agreed retainer hours.
Review, Debrief & Continuous Improvement
Win or lose, we review every submission together. We gather buyer feedback, identify what worked, and refine your approach for the next opportunity — building a stronger bid library and strategy over time.

We engaged Bid Writing Service to support our submission for the GMC tender, aiming to drive potential growth for our business. While we are still awaiting the final outcome, we can confidently say the service has been excellent and well worth the investment. Special thanks to Jessica, Peter, and Francesca, whose professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail greatly contributed to the strength of our submission. Their collaborative approach and expertise made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Highly recommended for any organisation seeking expert bid support.
Office Staff
I recently had the pleasure of working with BWS on a bid, and I wanted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. Their expertise and guidance were truly exceptional and instrumental in our success. Throughout the entire process, BWS provided unwavering support and demonstrated an impressive depth of industry knowledge. I genuinely believe their contributions were the key to our successful bid. Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend BWS and certainly plan to collaborate with them again in the future.

We've been working with Lauren and Rhiannon at Bid Writing Service for a few months now and they have been great! They are super responsive to emails and are always there to guide/support us through the process. As soon as a tender get released that matches our industry Lauren sends it straight over even if it's an evening or weekend so we have piece of mind knowing we won't miss any tenders! Thank you Lauren & Rhiannon

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.
Chris C
Lauren from BWS went above and beyond to support us with our tender on extremely short notice. Her dedication, professionalism, and willingness to assist at all hours were second to none. Lauren's expertise and responsiveness made what could have been a stressful process smooth and efficient. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone needing reliable and high-quality support.
GMS SERVICES LTD
We have used BWS to assist with our bid writing services. Not only does this provide us with vital resources when there are multiple tenders we want to bid for, it also provides a quality bid which is written by engaging bid writers who are interested in our business and helping us succeed.

Recently won a nice project with the help of BWS, found them easy to work with and will use again.
Barry Chapman
We used this company as part of our growth strategy, in that they, and I mean Lauren Moorhouse as their lead, created from scratch a comprehensive Bid Library. This is an excellent process to begin this new phase of our development, to gain more work and raising our branding profile. The whole system, was great to see how it grew into the formidable tool that it is, which we now have at our disposal, with an increase in our confidence to bolster our turnover.
B&E Boys
We employed BWS to assist with our bid writing and knowledge management resources. The team were always very professional and flexible in working around our schedules whilst maintaining agreed deadlines. We would recommend BWS to others who are looking for a ‘fresh set of eyes’ on any business development material. We will be working with BWS in the future.
Matt Webb
We engaged with BWS to assist with a bid on a civils project and were very pleased with the work they delivered. There was always clear communication and documents were produced within the agreed timeframes and cost. Being the first time working with a bid writing company they immediately put as at ease and gave us confidence that our submission was as strong as possible which gave us the best chance. Thanks to all the team at BWS!

Frequently Asked Questions

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!
To get a FREE QUOTE, get in touch today!
As tenders can vary in length, number of questions, level of detail required and answer complexity, it is difficult to predict how long the process will take. To quote accurately for your bid writing service of choice, we would need to see the tender documentation and gain a better understanding of your business. If you’re concerned about the deadline of your tender, rest assured we’ve worked miracles in the past, we can do it again.

We’re small enough to care and big enough to make a difference. We care. You will be made to feel as though you are our only client. We’re transparent, honest, down to earth specialists and we’ll always go the extra mile to help you with your Bid Writing.
Of course. The majority of the bids and tenders we work on are Public Sector Bids, Local Government, Councils, NHS, etc but we have also delivered huge client wins in the Private Sector too.
