The Benefits of Outsourcing a Bid Management Service
Outsourcing is becoming increasingly common through
all business sectors. Established companies that do not
wish to expand the scope of their business just to
accommodate temporary projects employ this method
of coping with fluctuating demand. Its like a business
eco-system that is thriving greatly because of the
present nature of demands.
Bid management services are greatly in demand as
major corporations continue to seek fresh and
economical ways of achieving their targets. These large
businesses send ITTs or Invitations to Tender to
particular companies they believe can properly work on
their projects to their greatest benefit. Naturally, these invited companies already have
the potential of accomplishing the best results for the projects but the more important
thing is for these companies to present a tender document that explains clearly why
they are the best group to get the project done. Producing compelling text is
something that the invited companies have difficulty with, hence the need to outsource
a bid management service.
There are groups that have qualms regarding hiring a separate group to write about the
abilities of the company, but a separate bid management service can actually put a
company at a great advantage over their competition. Firstly, they know what they are
doing and are familiar with the particular requirements that need to be appropriately
addressed; they are very familiar with the system that needs to be followed. Secondly,
since they are outsiders, they can easily spot whats great (or not so great) about the
company. They can highlight what truly sets the company apart and even bring to the
companys attention the elements of their services that need some work.
A bid management service will not stretch truths or exaggerate for the sake of
producing a tender that will catch the attention of the client. There will be no promises
made or claimed about services that the company cannot provide. Despite the fact that

they will not stretch truths for their own client, they have the experience, knowledge,
and technique in presenting their clients system in the most persuasive manner. How
this can be done without exaggerating is an art form that not every writer can pull off.
Only expert tender writers for abid managementgroup can be trusted to carry out such
a task.
Outsourcing this task to a group of experts also allows the company to focus on other
things that still need to be achieved, saving the company a lot of time. A helpful tip for
those companies invited to tender is to make sure that the bid management service
being hired already has a proven record of winning bids. This will instantly increase the
companys chances of winning the bid.
Tender Writers for the Win
The art of persuasive text is something that
tender writers have mastered. Every effort
from them is always with the intention of
blowing away the competition and winning
those important bids for their clients.
The amazing thing about the ability of
experienced tender writers is that
everything they write is true. The way they persuade with words is not some literary
effort with whimsical flair, everything they write about is backed with strong information
based on extensive research and numerous supporting documents to adequately meet
the requirements of the bid project.
Its important to point out, however, that a good tender writer is not entirely about
having the ability to write but its also about a balanced combination of many different
factors. One is being able to take directions and suggestions from the bid manager.
Most bid management team boast of their experience in writing tenders for different
types of business, which makes their tender writing better-rounded compared to others.
A tender writers extensive knowledge about different business industries is vital

because this instantly provides him complementary information to reinforce particular
details that the evaluator would surely be closely looking into.
A good tender writer also possesses that keen eye for features that can work to the
biggest advantage of the client. Often business managers feel that they already knowtheir business system inside out. However, because they are within the system its
typically hard for them to be completely objective about certain workings, so an
outsider can be a more reliable evaluator of the system.
The tender writer can point out the unique qualities of the system and bring them to the
forefront in a way that will be greatly appreciated by the client and the evaluator.
Emphasizing these differences is actually a game-changer in the bidding world. Tender
writersnormally focus on them because companies that made the invitations to tenderare often more zoned in on the unique ways (along with the cost-efficient ways) that
their projects can get accomplished. Since its already a given variable that all the
companies were invited to tender have the ability to accomplish the project, tender
writers have the burden of presenting the better and the different system that their
clients have.
The work ethics of the tender writeris also an important variable in the equation of a
successful tender. A tender writer, who is committed and willing to really go the distance
as far as research is concerned, can always be expected to produce a high quality tender
document thus giving their clients bid the best fighting chance in the bidding war.
Hire a Bid Writing Professional and Psych Up Your
Company for a Win
Once you receive an invitation to tender for an
important project, you have to bear in mind
that your company is on equal footing with the
other companies who have passed the PQQ
stage and are being invited to Tender (ITT).
Basically, you all have the same desire to win
the bid and you were all invited because of the

Bid Writing - More than a Persuasive Play of Words
A lot of writers who wish to become
increasingly successful utilising their writing
skills are drawn to the idea ofbid writingas
a lot of major Global companies are looking
for really good tender writers and are more
than willing to compensate these writers
generously. But what is it about bid writing
that makes it lucrative?
First of all, its not that easy. Bid and tender writing is more than a creative and
persuasive play of words to satisfy the interest of the people evaluating the document.
Every tender document must be factual and precise. Before the actual writing process,
thorough research is required. Research itself is typically composed of other tasks as
well; at times there would even be a need for site inspections for a better understanding
of the company and then youd have to go through all the documents that the clients
provide. For most tender writers, getting all the important details can actually take a
longer than finally putting everything on paper. The completed document is then
subject to a series of quality checks, proofreading and editing.
Secondly, the element of time is another major consideration. Considering all the
research that needs to be undertaken, following a strict schedule can be rather stressful.
Theres always an imminent deadline so bid writer need to have exceptional time
management skills. Most regular writers have the propensity to wait for inspiration to
produce the work that will satisfy them. Tender writersdo not have that luxury of time;
they need to comply with the many requirements of the bid. The Tender document
does not only need to comprehensive and persuasive, but it needs to possess a
particular level of creativity so the tender will appeal to the evaluation panel.
Thirdly, though some creativity is allowed for tender documents, exaggerating details
isnt advisable because it can work to the detriment of the clients. Expert tender writers
need to be able to highlight the unique qualities of their clients, build on them but still
present the complete truth, which can be a big challenge.

Lastly, bid writingrequires a great wealth of knowledge of different business industries
as the tenders are basically for businesses. Not everybody easily understands or even
wants to understand the intricacies of a business, so those who actually study and get
the full grasp of business systems are extremely valuable to companies that generateincome by winning bids for projects.
Differentiating A Tender Writer From Bid Writing
Specialist
Many people inquire about the difference
between a tender writer and abid writingspecialist. Essentially, they do the same
thing they produce tender documents,
but the scope of projects that a specialist
is qualified to work on is wider than that
of a tender writer. Most tender writers are
trained specifically for a particular trade
which is why a lot of companies actually
have their own roster of tender writers in their system; they write exclusively for their
home company. A bid writing specialist, on the other hand, is often outsourced as he
can pretty much write for any client, whatever the nature of the industry could be.
A specialist often begins as a tender writer but over time and accumulation of
experience, he becomes really well-rounded and can accommodate other bid writing
jobs for different industries. Also, he can go beyond writing and cross over to training
writers or serve as a reference person or a bid writing consultant for resident bid
management teams. The profitability is greater for bid writing specialists because they
can do other things apart from writing.
For businesses, when they want to ensure the success of their bids, they often opt for a
bid writing specialistover a tender writer to take care of their tenders. A specialist can
easily provide the extra oomph that can set a tender apart from the competition. His
familiarity with other industries can serve as a reliable reference in presenting a detailed

explanation of the clients system which is always a big advantage in securing the
evaluators commendation.
For most writers, they can never tell when they stopped just being a tender writer and
began being a bid writing specialist. There are those who really strive for the
progression and make a conscious decision to further improve their skills and be eligible
for related jobs within the scope of bid writing. Though having years of experience is still
the most effective way of becoming a specialist, taking advanced tender training courses
also works in paving the way to the job succession. A lot of bid writing companies
nowadays are offering the professional help to those who want to make use of their
writing skills to help business groups win bid projects. There are short courses for
beginners comprising of the learning the fundamentals of tender writing while the
Masterclasses are for those who are already training for their complete mastery of the
special bid writing techniques that really create the most beneficial and favourable
results for clients.
Expert Bid Writing Service - A Big Help for Small
Companies
During this tough economic time when most
business groups are operating leaner, small
companies often struggle to expand their
work as they try to keep up with more
established corporations. Most of the time,
its not even a matter of work quality because
even smaller businesses can produce work of
a high quality, its just that their ability todeliver is scaled significantly smaller. This,
however, does not always need to be the casethere are major deals out there that are
up for grabs even for small companies, but how can they compete with the resources of
the big businesses out there especially when it comes to bidding?
http://www.executivecompass.co.uk/business/bid-and-tender-writing-services/bid+and+tender+writing+advicehttp://www.executivecompass.co.uk/business/bid-and-tender-writing-services/bid+and+tender+writing+advicehttp://executivecompass.co.uk/http://executivecompass.co.uk/http://executivecompass.co.uk/http://executivecompass.co.uk/http://www.executivecompass.co.uk/business/bid-and-tender-writing-services/bid+and+tender+writing+advice7/31/2019 All You Need to Know About Business and Tendering to Win Contracts

New companies that wish to expand by winning a really important contract usually do
not have their ownbid managementteam, nor do they have the time to form one that
can actually win that major deal for them. Fortunately though, finding a good bid
writing service is no longer that hard. There are many groups nowadays that really
specialise in doing just that and a lot of them have the advantage of experience as wellas extensive knowledge about different industries that are always helpful in reinforcing
background information.
For small companies, hiring a bid writing service is incredibly helpful in familiarising
themselves with the complexities of catering to the specific standards and requirements
of bid projects. The service can provide the training for the companys employees who
have the potential and can be trusted to learn the tricks of the trade, so that in the
future there would no longer be a need to outsource this job. Hiring this service can be
considered an initial investment for future company expansion.
Aside from the educational aspect of getting this particular service, hiring a separatebid
writing service to manage and create bespoke tender documents can actually give
smaller businesses the edge. An outsiders perspective is typically what pushes these
small businesses forward. An outsourced bid management team can easily take a step
back and make a fair assessment of their clients abilities and potentials. They can also
highlight the special qualities of their clients and make them strong selling points to
match the evaluators standards. There are times when small businesses are not
completely aware of how to make their idiosyncrasies work to their advantage, but the
expert eye of an established bid management team can determine which of these quirks
can work to the best benefit of their clients.
Crucial Requirements for Proper Tender Management
Many companies these days generate a
significant amount of income from bidding on
important contracts that is why successful tender
management teams are in demand. Companies
invest greatly on training their people to

become bid management experts; hiring bid writing specialists and even pay for courses
on tender writing.
Tender managementshould is a combination of the right attitude, work ethics and skills.
Because of the stringent requirement of creating winning bids, the tender management
team consistently deals with imposed deadlines, which means that there is always
pressure to produce high quality work where time is of the essence. Normally, when a
team is created for this particular purpose, the person who chooses the members
instantly evaluates how employees perform under pressure; there are those who easily
crumble compromising the quality of the project, or those who are always at odds with
the system, therefore creating a hostile environment. Highly efficient people who take
instructions easily and who always have a helpful disposition are always preferred for
this type of work.
A persons work attitude is always an important
contributory factor in tender management. A
bid manager, for example, should be incredibly
motivated and must have the mind-set for
success. He is the encourager of the team,
overseeing the work of the others to make sure
that only the best quality of work is being
produced. He must possess great
communication skills to keep everybody
working cohesively. As for the other members of the team, like the tender writers or the
bid writing specialist, they should always be eager to learn, a vast knowledge about
different industries can make their job easier. They should also be a stickler for details
and the method of persuasively presenting the selling points of their clients.
Needless to say, successtender managementrequires experienced, flexible and diligent
people. The process is not for the easily frazzled or those who prefer to work their own
way. It is crucial that every member has impressive organisational and planning skills,the ability to understand data from research notes easily, a discerning eye for unique
details, strategic thinking, drive and focus. A great consideration for others is also very
important because a winning tender is not accomplished by just one person; it is a
culmination of the teams commitment to obtaining all the important documents for the

research, meeting deadlines and producing work of high quality that really creates a
winning tender document.
Properly Understanding And Addressing The Pre-
Qualification Questionnaire
Bidding for important contracts involves a lot of
processes. For non-exclusive projects that are open to
any corporation, the process always begins with the
pre-qualification questionnaireor the PQQ.
This questionnaire is for interested companies that wishto qualify for an invitation to tender or the ITT. How
these companies appropriately answer the
questionnaire determines if they are suitable for the project. It also covers all the
important information about the company such as their expertise in their field, financial
status and a number of other things that will help the evaluators appoint the correct
company. In many ways, the PQQ also serves as a guide for a careful study of the
companies competency level.
A pre-qualification questionnaire covers the following; the companys general status,
financial status, quality considerations like the environmental, equal opportunities,
health and safety, and the companys commitment to deliver or stay true to the system
they have come up with to achieve the goals of the project. In the majority of PQQs
there is a need to refer to the ISO 9001 quality management system; some companies
feel that its an altogether separate additional effort, but the truth is that the PQQ is
directly related to the International Organisation for Standardisation. Given this fact,
filling up the fields of the PQQ requires a lot of preparation, research and good time
management. Every component has to be backed up with the appropriate supportingdocumentation which can only be achieved by thorough preparation. Failing to address
even just one important consideration or requirement instantly means losing out on the
major opportunity which is such a shame after all the hard work given to answer the
other questions. Bringing forth all your companys goods in an impressive and credible

manner (meaning no claims of success about methodologies that have not yet been
tried and tested) is what always secures the bids.
Not too many people know that the presence of the pre-qualification questionnaire is
also helpful in such a way that companies are provided the chance to look at every area
of their business with a discerning eye and then address the flaws of their system
addressing any issues so that future submissions are a true reflection of the procedures
and processes of your business. After going over the PQQ, companies then begin to
come up with creative, cost and energy-efficient strategies of catering to the specific
requirements of the bid, increasing chances of successful submissions in the future.
Tender Training Programs For Those Who Want AWriting Career Shift
Tender writing is a challenging and interesting
writing job, but this is not really as easy some people
think with the common misconception of it is only
about copy and paste. Not all writers have the right
attitude towards this form of writing; tender writing
follows stringent requirements that may be too
stifling for creative writers. On the other hand, those
who have a more practical mind-set and who would
be willing to learn the art of writing tenders will
surely have an easier time accommodating the
nature of the writing job. Still, the task will require a detailed and structured tender
training period.
There aretender trainingprograms for those who want to learn how to effectively write
tender documents for bid management groups. Being certain that the tender is
compliant is a pretty challenging process; a writer has to be precise in the presentation
of the important details that evaluators always look for and this can be rather
challenging for writers. This is not to say that tender writing is completely devoid of
creativitythe thing is, tender writers need to be able to strike a balance of being

creative, compliant, impressive, precise and persuasive. Winning major bids through
really amazing tenders can spell a big difference not only for the company, but for the
lives of the employees as well; its a huge responsibility for a writer.
Some may be daunted by how intense the responsibility is or how rigid tender writing
can be, but a lot of people who have trained to become tender writers claim that its all
about having the right mind-set for the job; afterwards, mastery of the system easily
follows. Those who want to have a better idea about this type of writing job can take
short tender training courses. These courses serve as a general orientation about the
different components of writing tenders, from proper selection of winning bid themes to
proposal structure to the importance of version control. The tender training programs

right people who have the experience and talent in completing this task will surely put
your tenders at the forefront and create the impact that you want.
