If you have no experience writing a tender
proposal, the process can be quite daunting. Here
are ten useful tips on how to write a tender
proposal.

• 1. Read the document thoroughly
• It is vital to read all the tender documents, so
  you thoroughly understand what is required.
• You MUST understand what is being asked for, how
  you will be required by the tenderer to deliver
  the product or service, when and how the tender
  response is to be delivered and how your tender
  proposal will be measured.

• 2. Plan to project manage the process
• Then write a detailed list of all the major
  requirements of the tender document and carefully
  assign the jobs to the right people and include
  deadlines.

• 3. Use the templates or formats provided
• If there is a template that you are requested to
  fill in, use it.
• It may be divided into sections and may include
  word or page limits or different formats, for
  example, costing may need to be excel.

• 4. Focus on clarity
• It is vital when you plan your tender proposal
  that you keep your response clear, logical and
  well organised as you are inviting a client to
  select your proposal over others.
• Clearly describe the all the benefits the buyer
  will obtain from your products or services.

• 5. The importance of good writing
• Your tender proposal can create the impression
  that your company is professional and sets high
  standards.
• The quality of your writing needs to be extremely
  high.
• Spelling errors and poor grammar create an
  impression that you are disorganised, careless
  and even disrespectful.

• 6. The importance of presentation
• Good presentation is just as important as good
  writing. Always aim to create a professional and
  business-like.

9

• 7. Provide all the information required
• Provide everything that is asked for whether you
  think it relevant or not. If you cannot provide
  everything that is asked for, do not despair.
• Instead, provide something similar with an
  explanation as to why you are using it. It is not
  a good idea to leave a blank space or ignore the
  requirement.

10

• 8. Address the selection criteria
• Ensure that you completely understand the
  selection criteria.
• Provide verifiable evidence that you fully meet
  the tenderers selection criteria rather than
  simply saying that you do.

11

• 9. Choose the right referees
• Use referees that will give you the most
  complimentary recommendations. Do not take a risk
  on customers or clients who have past gripes.
• Remember to get permission from your referees
  before adding them to your response.
• Inform them of the details of the request for
  tender so they can tailor their recommendations
  and comments to the tenderers particular request.

12

• 10. Submit your tender on time
• Late or incomplete tender responses are rarely
  viewed by tenderers.
• Therefore, you must give yourself enough time to
  get the tender documents completed and submitted.
