Do we write tenders ourselves or do we hire a professional tender writer? This is a burning question many businesses and non profit agencies who tender for Council/Government/Commercial contracts and works consider regularly. Sadly most businesses and organisations think tender writing is an easy thing to do – it can’t be that hard – it is just about filling in some forms and answering some questions.

We can do it ourselves they say. Being a successful tender writer is much much more than filling in forms or answering a few questions.

Successful tender writing is about developing the right strategy to pitch to the respective tender, making sure that the organisation fits that tender exactly and identifying how you can make your organisation stand out from the crowd.

The question of whether to hire a professional tender writer is a vexed issue but in reality the considerations should be limited to the fact of whether the business or organisation involved has someone on staff with outstanding wordsmithing skills and a comprehensive knowledge of the tendering and procurement processes of the relevant Government/Council/Commercial entity.

Tenders are generally complex documents and while price is an important consideration in evaluating tenders, it is vital that the response of your organisation is targeted in such a way that it demonstrates you have the expertise, experience and proven track record to deliver on the tender.

To further complicate the tender response process there are normally a huge amount of documents that accompany the tender application form. This is where the experienced tender writer can assess what documents have to be read – what don’t and what information is vital to the tender preparation process.

Preparing responses to Tender opportunities really does require the skills of an outstanding Tender writer.

Obviously a business can use an in-house tender writer or they can engage these specialised skills via outsourcing to an experienced third party such as Red Tape Busters.

The overarching consideration in the mind of a business and non profit organisation considering preparing a tender response should be – can we write these documents better than someone with specific skills in this field? If the answer is a no or a maybe you should really considering holding discussions with professionals like Red Tape Busters.

There are obviously different levels of quality when it comes to tender writers and you get what you pay for but at Red Tape Busters we believe our skill and experience is simply far ahead of our competitors and in house staff simply don’t have the broad experience we have and generally are office staff or other staff coerced or plugged into a tender writing role. Few come from a significant tender writing background.
