What are Bid Templates?

Our Bid Templates are answers to tenders! They are answers to the frequently asked tender questions you will be asked to complete when bidding for public sector contracts and frameworks. These bid templates or tender answers have been developed to provide smaller SMEs or startups access to bid content for frequently asked public sector tender questions, tailored by sector. They will provide an excellent first draft or base for you to build on and tailor. Once you have purchased the Bid Template, adding your content will be a simple task and guidance is provided on how to further refine them for your business and the specific buyer. Or we can tailor them for your business!

For more information on the industries that we cover with Bid Templates, take a look below!

What does a Bid Template cost?

Our Bid Templates are a one-off cost and come with guidance on how to tailor for each section using buyer-specific information from the specification, tender pack and wider research. Many clients use as a bid training tool, as well as ready-made tender answers or their first draft!

Training

If you aren’t familiar with the tender process, understanding the fundamentals can sometimes be a challenge. One of the main goals of our training courses is to break the tender process down, step by step, so you come away with a deeper understanding of how tendering works in your industry. Having a deeper knowledge of the process of writing tenders will simply help you to make better bid/no-bid decisions and know exactly how to proceed with tenders. Writing bids, monitoring contracts and finding tenders are all much easier when you have a solid grasp of the overall process.
