How the Effective Tender Writer Finds Possible
Tender Opportunities

• Tender writing is more than just responding to
  questions or filling
• out a form, the effective tender writer will
  be casting his/her net
• wide to identify as many relevant tender
  opportunities as possible.
• Tender opportunities are publicised and
  published via a variety of
• mediums and therefore a quality tender
  writer will use a variety
• of strategies and platforms to identify
  opportunities for their
• business or non profit organisation.

Tender Opportunities
Tender opportunities can be found as
follows- Newspapers Major newspapers will
have tenders advertised either through the paper
or in the classified sections generally
Wednesday and Saturday are the best days but
check every day just in case. Also your local
suburban newspaper might also have
commercial/State/Federal Government tenders
advertised but it will certainly publicise those
of your local Council.

Local Council/State/Federal Government
Websites Obviously these websites are vital and
will have details about available tenders. The
smart tender writer though will ensure that they
set up an alert system via each website so that
as soon as any tenders are released which meet
their decided parameters that the websites will
automatically notify the tender writer that the
tender has been released. These websites however
can be prone to being slow with the alert so I
strongly suggest you regularly review the
websites manually to make sure you dont miss any
opportunities.

Local Councillor Your local Councillor/s are a
great avenue to being notified of any available
local tenders. If you go an introduce yourself
and outline what your business/organisation does
they should be more than happy to put you on
their mailing database so that they can send
you email notification of any appropriate tenders.

State/Federal MP Similarly to your local
Councillor/s, you should be able to get yourself
on their mailing database and hopefully they can
advise you of any tenders as they become
available from the different levels of
Government. Networking This is another great
avenue to become aware of possible tender
opportunities. People in your network, even
competitors might divulge information about
possible opportunities so keep your ear to the
ground.

Peak Bodies These are great avenues to be made
aware of tender opportunities. Your
regional/State or even Federal Peak Body might be
willing and able to share knowledge of upcoming
tenders with members so it might be a good idea
to become a member if you are not already.

Fee For Service Websites There are many of these
websites around where you can pay a fee and they
will send you details of possible tenders that
you might be interested in. Websites like
Tenderlink provide a fee for service tender
notification service for those that can afford
it. These websites however will not dig deep into
the tender to identify if the tender will meet
your business needs they will just notify you
of opportunities that meet the parameters you
have set.

Social Media This a relatively new platform to
use to become aware of tender opportunities,
however all Councils and Government Departments
now have a presence on say Twitter and Facebook
and if you follow their pages/accounts there will
no doubt be information over time about the
release of tenders.

Tender Writing Companies At Red Tape Busters we
certainly provide a fee for service arrangement
where clients can engage us to undertake the
research to identify tender prospects. The
difference with us is that we will dig deep into
the tender and the business/organisational
goals/strategies/needs and then make
recommendations on the best opportunities to
pursue to our client. This is very important as
not every opportunity should necessarily be
pursued and it is important that organisations
only chase those opportunities that fit them
exactly and where they are a reasonable chance of
success.
