Doing the best possible job on a bid or proposal

Having decided to bid for a tender/put in a proposal you need to do the best possible job of producing a compelling document that will get you through to the next stage.

Before you do anything else, read the tender documents very, very carefully and then make sure that you follow any instructions you’ve been given. If the document says deliver your tender by hand, do it, if it says no more than 5 pages don’t write 6. Put yourself in the shoes of the person who may be asked to do the initial filtering of maybe 100 proposals – this person may know very little about the required services but they’ll find it very easy to remove your proposal from the pile if you’ve failed to include a required policy or set your document out in the wrong order.


Health and Safety Policy
Equality and Diversity Policy
Financial information e.g. 3 years accounts
Professional indemnity and/or public liability insurance details
Equal Opportunities Policy


You don’t necessarily need a long winded document for these, something appropriate to the size of your company and the work you’ll be doing should be fine. There are numerous websites that sell policy documents that you can base your on, or you can search the web for other peoples to give you an idea what to include.
