Review and Comment Services
If a business has completed a draft and is looking for an expert viewpoint, we can provide a bid review service which can take many forms including:
Review and comment: is a lighter touch review and will examine compliance, response structure, unique selling points and added value. We will undertake a full review of all draft documents and provide comments and guidance on how our clients can improve their proposal or tender response.
Review and improve: is the next step after review and comment. We will undertake compliance checks and carry out a full review and comment of the response. In addition, this service would then seek to improve the written content and manage the bid to completion. To support this, we would collect further information from the client, re-write and develop.
How is Bid Writing Service Different?
In a market where high quality, consistency and compliance is key, services provided by competitors are often designed as a ‘one size fits all’ model. BWS has learned that each client is unique and has various levels of knowledge and understanding of bidding and therefore our approach must be uniquely tailored to each client. We take time to understand your pain points and take the pressure of bidding away from you, so you can focus on developing your solution and win themes. We can be as hands on or as hands off as the client requires.
Our Clients
We support clients from a wide range of industries. Our cross-sector knowledge helps us stay ahead of the curve and provide innovative solutions to your challenges.
