Professional Tender Writers
A Day in the Life…
First things first, as professional tender writers our days generally start with a good cup of coffee and catching up on emails before getting down to the main task of any professional tender writer: writing winning bids.
We’ll have a fifteen-minute team meeting, to discuss the day’s requirements. This includes any deadlines that may require bids submitting, new tenders or new clients that may have come aboard!
We’re a flexible team and enjoy our morning catch-ups, ensuring everyone is supported when they’re writing tenders.
After this time, our tender writers start to focus on their own projects. Alongside this comes liaising with clients, doing research and filling out PPQs and helping out colleagues with proofreading.
Writing tender responses
The main part of a professional tender writers’ role is completing PQQs, ITTs and quality questions. This means that a large portion of our day can be spent creating innovative content for our clients.
Most writing can be planned in advance. We like to make sure we are being succinct enough to showcase our client’s services within restricted wordcounts. Our professional tender writers are real wordsmiths with excellent levels of grammar and exceptional writing abilities.
Many of our bid writers have published works, and the expertise and quality they bring to professional tender writing is absolutely critical to creating and winning fantastic tenders for all our clients.
Writing tender responses is a time-focused task. We often work to tight deadlines and our professional tender writers ensure they set aside enough time to complete the contracts before submission.
We always allow for a two-step review stage in-house. This is to ensure that the tenders we submit here at Hudson Succeed are of the highest possible quality. At Hudson Succeed, quality is our top priority. When you sign up to any of our services, quality is always our mission.
Managing bid writing for multiple clients
Our team of professional tender writers are well-rehearsed in working reactively. With constant deadlines, we work instinctively to what needs doing the soonest.
In a typical day, you can see our bid writers handling up to four different bids for that coming week. To do this they ensure the following:
- Enough time has been planned in to be able to fulfil the needs of the tender and submit on time.
- Quality questions are fully answered and detailed meticulously with brilliant information about our clients.
- We have had enough information from the client to be able to create any CVs or case studies needed to boost the proposal.
Juggling a busy workload is something our professional tender writers grasp with ease. We have a natural ability to write passionately about our clients, ensuring they are presented in the best possible light to potential buyers.
Our professional tender writers are experienced in all stages of the process. This means that no matter where you’re at with your tendering journey, we have a dedicated team on hand to deliver bids for you.
Writing for different industries
On an average day, it’s quite normal for our bid writers to be working reactively across different bids. This means you could be working on a cleaning tender in the morning, then switch to a creative or digital tender for the supply of smart boards for schools in the afternoon.
This means our workdays are incredibly varied, which is a great positive for our professional tender writers. Writing for different clients and industries is incredibly important, and we’re proud to say that we can cover any industry.
Our commitment to learning and research has seen us develop ten sector-specific portals, ensuring our knowledge reaches far and wide in terms of business. It’s because of this we’re able to write instinctively and with gusto about different sectors.

Other commitments
By the afternoon, there may be meetings to attend and new clients to account for. For all tenders we commit to, we ensure the client is fully aware of what an opportunity entails before suggesting they go for it!
This means we’re likely to point out and find anything that may trip you up in one of our handy breakdowns. Our tender breakdowns are designed and created by our professional tender writers.
This is a great way of ensuring when we put forward a client for a bid, they have a great chance of winning. Our motto is: we write to win! And we make sure we see this through on every single tender we submit.
With our aims high, we always make sure that our clients are fully supported throughout the tender process. We understand it can be a minefield of acronyms, but we’re here to keep you grounded!
Once a client has decided that a specific tender would benefit them, we’ll create a bid plan. Our professional tender writers will focus on creating a schedule and gathering information needed from the client. We put this all into a handy format that is easy to understand and digest.
We think it’s really important to take time out in our day to fully engage with our clients – although most of the time we do have our heads down writing fantastic content! We’ll send out a bid plan on the same day a client decides to go for it, ensuring they’re supported from day one.
Writing the bid
Now comes the part most feared by most business professionals – the actual bid writing. If it’s something you dread, then fear not! Our team of professional tender writers can take this task off your hand, whether it be ad-hoc for the one-off tender or as a retained client looking to pursue new avenues of work through outsourced Tender Management.
