No matter your question, query or quandry about writing a tender proposal, we have a service that is ideal for you. Whilst lots more information on our tendering and procurement advice and writing services can be found here, read ahead for a snapshot of each of our services, what they involve and the benefits they can bring to your business.
TENDER VLE
Tender VLE is the UK’s first, online, tendering and virtual learning environment dedicated to answering your questions about writing a tender proposal. Our team of procurement specialists regularly update the site with videos, accompanying blogs and downloadable attachments, providing guidance, advice and helpful hints and tips regarding the tendering and procurement process at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. It is free to use and many clients find this service extremely helpful in terms of its clarity, ease of use and the answers it provided to commonly asked questions. Lots of our videos are designed to provide specific tender support to those who have never tendered before or have lots of questions about the process including: “Tender Ready”, and “To Bid or Not to Bid.” Videos such as: “Time Management,” “Case Studies” and “Policies and Procedures” are pitched at a more intermediate level and are designed to help make sure your bid is the winning one; and videos such as videos such as: “Clarification Questions,” “Dynamic Purchasing Systems” and “Framework Agreements” are at a more advanced level and will help you overcome common errors that might otherwise let a good submission down.
TENDER MENTOR
Our Tender Mentor service provides businesses with a vital, second pair of eyes to make sure that their submission is the best it can be. It is predominantly a guide, review and advice service which involves our team critiquing your prospective tender responses whilst mentoring your team on ways in which they can continuously improve their submissions.
Tender Mentor is perfect for businesses who need a helping hand writing a tender proposal; our team of procurement professionals will pay attention to the details of your submission and the particulars of the specification to make sure not only that your response flows well and answers the question but that it is as effective as it can be, in relation to the buyer’s requirements.

TENDER READY
This programme is primarily aimed at organisations who are new to writing tender proposals and need a helping hand to get them started. The programme aims to help businesses find new opportunities through our Discover portal, to better understand how to respond to public and private sector tenders and to develop their corporate literature and response content in order to do so. Our team will work closely with each client, providing dedicated one on one support to help develop, tailor and/or elevate their corporate content to make sure each client is as ready to tender as they will ever be. Not only that, but once we have worked to develop a set of case studies, team CVs, policies, profiles and procedures, we will either guide the client through their first two bids or write the first tender proposal from scratch on their behalf.
TENDER IMPROVEMENT
This programme is designed for businesses who are currently tendering for work but are perhaps not seeing success. Our bid team will provide tailored, one to one support to critique clients’ past responses and offer knowledge and guidance to help improve future responses, all whilst working with clients to develop their corporate content and to discover new opportunities. Like Tender Ready, this programme involves close liaison with clients to develop their content, highlighting past mistakes or areas of weakness which might be preventing clients from seeing success, and the offering of bespoke advice and guidance. On top of all that, just like with Tender Ready, we will pop the cherry on the cake by either writing a tender proposal on their behalf or guiding them through two bids.
TENDER WRITING
This is our ad-hoc writing service, primarily aimed at businesses who know how to tender but struggle to find the time and resources to do so. Our team will take tender management, writing the bids and the submission process off clients’ hands completely. Our team will work closely with the client throughout the process to ascertain the level of technical input and specific examples required to make the submission stand out from the crowd. And on top of all of that, we will battle with those pesky submission portals on our clients’ behalf to make the process of writing a tender proposal as stress-free as possible.
TENDER MANAGER
This is our most premium service and is ideal for businesses who need sustained tender support for their ongoing requirements. This package includes daily opportunity tracking, dedicated one to one support tailored to clients’ needs and challenges, the development of clients’ corporate content and complete tender management, writing and submission services. Clients can take advantage of our Tender Manager package for 3, 6 or 12 months at a time and can renew as many times as they like.
What this means for you
During this process, we will work closely with your team to gain a real appreciation of your team, your business aims, your motivating factors, your unique challenges and your growth strategy. Far from simply writing tender proposals on your behalf, as well as this, our team will work to provide you with a consolidated package of tendering and procurement-related knowledge and expertise to help you realise your growth ambitions.
