Our Core Services
From full bid management to expert review and guidance, we provide tailored support to help SMEs secure more contracts with confidence.
Bid Writing & Management
Compelling, compliant proposals written to stand out and secure success.
We understand what makes a good bid, we've written thousands. Our writers examine each tender specification, noting win themes, non-negotiables and areas for emphasis. We work collaboratively with you to ensure all technical details are effectively showcased, while meeting the buyer's criteria and persuasively demonstrating your value.
Bid Reviews
An expert eye on an existing bid to improve clarity, structure and compliance.
We offer two types of review services, a 'Review and Comment', in which we make suggestions for improvement and leave you with full control; and a 'Review and Improve', which makes changes for you and leaves you with a finished product ready for submission.
Bid Libraries & Preparation
Build your evidence library, improving and storing all bid resources ready for your next tender.
We'll work with you to build a library filled with all the information you need to submit a winning tender. We'll improve case studies, policy documents, previous bid responses and implement feedback so each bid improves over time and ensure your compliance documents (accreditations, CVs, company profiles) are kept up to date.
Social Value Consultancy
Under new regulations, Social Value can now mark up to 30-40% of your bid score. Falling short or don't know where to start?
As the changes from the Procurement Act 2023 come into force, the importance of Social Value has increased exponentially. We have an in-house Social Value Lead that was in the room while these changes were being discussed. There's no one better to guide you through how you can improve your Social Value scores, implement long-term strategies and win more contracts as a result.

Expert Bid Writing
Every tender is an opportunity to secure new contracts, enter new markets and grow your business. Our experienced bid writers combine procurement expertise with commercial insight to create compelling submissions that give you the best possible chance of success.
Your Competitive Advantage
We help you stand out in competitive markets by showcasing your strengths, demonstrating your value and giving buyers clear reasons to choose your business. It's about more than meeting the requirements; it's about making your offering impossible to overlook.
A Collaborative Approach
Nobody knows your business better than you, and nobody understands tendering quite like we do. By combining your industry knowledge with our bid writing expertise, we create tailored submissions that reflect your capabilities, ambitions and unique selling points.
More Time to Grow
Tendering can be time-consuming, particularly when you're balancing deadlines with day-to-day operations. We take the pressure off your internal teams, giving you access to specialist support without diverting valuable time and resources away from running your business.
Our Process
If you're looking to 'test' our services or just want one bid completed, we offer a structured end-to-end process that maximises your chances of success.
Opportunity assessment
We'll make sure the opportunity aligns with your growth strategy, as well as ensuring you have the right accreditations, experience and compliance requirements in order to make a bid/no bid decision.
Gap analysis
Our writers will sift through your existing bid material (if applicable) to understand where you could fall short and identify priorities and areas of improvement before any writing begins.
Bid planning
We'll reverse engineer the bid timeline from the deadline and consider your schedules (we understand you might have on-site commitments!) to create a structured plan that keeps you in the loop and feeling in control.
Writing
After we've received the necessary information, we'll get writing. Our writers are highly skilled and experienced and will tailor each bid both to your business and to the tender specification, to make sure you're hitting marks across the board.
Reviewing
Each bid is peer reviewed by senior staff members for quality assurance before bids are sent your way. You will then complete a review and provide any feedback or suggested changes.
Final draft & submission
Once your draft is approved across the board, we'll hand everything over to you ready for submission. We can provide submission and portal support for those clients who need it.

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

Rhiannon was very switched on when it came to giving our company advice around bid writing. She produced drafts in a swift and professional manner which was important to us when the deadline was approaching fast.

Incredibly professional, responsive and dedicated. Great to have a team who take the time to get to know the business and our ethos, and understand the pressures of tender and bid writing for a small organisation.

One of the best companies we have worked with. From our first conversation to the completed work. Always on hand for any questions we had, very knowledgeable and timely. Would use again and would highly recommend. Thank you for your hard work and such excellent service. Crown ices Ltd.
James Barber
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. They become a part of our business. We would highly recommend their services and many thanks to George Flower who has delivered a brilliant service for us.
Andrea Gascoigne
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!

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!

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.
