We're excited to share that we now complete nearly 300 construction bids every year for our clients.

Construction Bidding
The construction industry's tendering processes are intricate and fiercely competitive. Success requires more than an impressive track record; it demands meticulous planning, a sharp understanding of client needs, and the ability to craft compelling, well-structured bids. At Thornton & Lowe, we specialise in creating bids that really hit the mark, ensuring our clients rise above the competition.
With nearly 300 construction bids completed each year, our team has honed an efficient and effective process. We focus on understanding each client’s unique strengths and tailoring each bid to highlight these strengths while meeting the tender's specific requirements. Our approach is about more than just ticking boxes—it's about surpassing expectations and vividly showcasing why our clients are the best choice for the project.
Construction Bid Support Writing and Support Services
Alongside bid writing, Thornton & Lowe offers a range of support services that are crucial for any construction company’s success. We know that having the right team is key to winning bids and driving business growth. That’s why we offer recruitment services specifically designed for contractors looking to hire skilled bid writers, bid managers, and heads of bids.
Our recruitment process is thorough and targeted. We understand the distinct demands of the construction industry and the specific skills needed for successful bid management. By leveraging our extensive network and industry knowledge, we help our clients find the right talent who can contribute to their bidding success from day one.
Bid Writing Training: Developing Your Team
