Understanding the Bid Writing Process for Health
In the field of healthcare tendering, understanding the bid writing process is essential for crafting compelling proposals that stand out. At Thornton & Lowe, we have honed a systematic approach to ensure that each tender we handle is prepared to maximise our clients success:
Stages of Bid Preparation
- Initial Research and Review: The first step is always to thoroughly understand the tender requirements. This involves a detailed review of the tender documents, ensuring that we meet the minimum criteria such as financial thresholds and required accreditations like CQC/OFSTED. Understanding the service requirements is crucial; for instance, if the tender involves social care services, we ensure our responses reflect the specific needs and comply with relevant guidelines like safeguarding compliance.
- Drafting and Refinement: Once we have a clear understanding of the tender's scope and requirements, the drafting phase begins. This includes aligning our proposal with the buyer's objectives, which we gather through comprehensive research on the company and its operations, including lots of interviews with your team. Our responses are crafted to address each requirement listed, ensuring clarity and precision in our language.
- Evidence and Compliance: Providing evidence to support our claims is crucial. We include relevant case studies and examples that demonstrate our capabilities and past successes. This not only enhances the credibility of your bid but also reassures the buyer of your ability to deliver.
- Final Review and Submission: Before submission, we conduct a thorough bid review of the entire submission, ensuring that all information is accurate, all questions have been answered fully, and the document is formatted according to the tender's specifications. This stage also involves proofreading to eliminate any errors and refining language to improve clarity and impact.
Importance of Thoroughness and Granular Detail
Being thorough in the bid preparation process cannot be overstated. Each step, from understanding the tender requirements to the final review before submission, requires meticulous attention to detail. For example, missing a requirement for specific accreditations or misinterpreting the scope of service can lead to disqualification or a poorly scored bid. Therefore, we emphasise the importance of a comprehensive approach throughout the bid writing process, ensuring that every aspect of the tender is considered and addressed effectively.
By adhering to these structured stages and maintaining thoroughness, we enhance our chances of submitting winning bids that meet the complex demands of healthcare tenders. This not only demonstrates our expertise but also our commitment to providing value and quality in every proposal we craft.

Let's discuss how we can support your businessResearching and Engaging Health Bid Writers
When selecting a bid writer for healthcare tenders, it is crucial to establish clear criteria and know where to look to find the most suitable candidates.
Criteria for Selection
- Track Record of Success: We must assess the bid writer's success rate. A high turnover rate of successful tenders is a strong indicator of reliability and effectiveness. Look for bid writers who have a history of winning healthcare tenders, particularly those similar to your organisation's needs. If you require a freelance bid writer with health experience, we can recruit them for you, if our directly employed team of bid writers are unable to help.
- Communication and Transparency: Opt for health bid writers who maintain clear communication channels. Their ability to articulate and communicate complex ideas clearly both in writing and verbally is essential. This ensures that all aspects of the bid are understood and well-represented. As a bid writing company, we understand our customer service needs to be right.
- Comprehensive Bid Review Services: Consider whether the bid writer offers critical evaluation services before submission. This can include bid reviews to ensure compliance and competitiveness, which are crucial for a successful bid.
- Sector-Specific Expertise: The bid writer should have a keen understanding of the healthcare industry’s standards and regulations. This expertise is invaluable in crafting bids that meet the specific needs and regulations of healthcare tenders.
- Industry Networks and Recommendations: Start by consulting your professional network. Recommendations from industry peers can lead you to experienced bid writers who have proven their capabilities in the healthcare sector. If you are looking for healthcare references, testimonials and details of wins - just ask. Hello@thorntonandlowe.com / 01204 238046 or see testimonials, google reviews or our review platform.
If you require a full bid writing and management service for your health tender, we can manage this with our directly employed bid team. If you would prefer to engage with a freelance health focused bid writer or manager, we can source these for you. We have a bank of approved freelance bid writers.
Setting up a Bid Writer Partnership
Initial Consultations
If you initiate contact with potential bid writers, the first step is to arrange an initial consultation. This meeting is crucial as it allows us to evaluate their understanding of NHS contracts, for example, and their experience with healthcare procurement processes. We look for bid writers who have a proven track record in the healthcare sector, particularly those who have successfully managed similar contracts. During these consultations, it's important to assess their project management skills and their ability to communicate effectively. This ensures they can handle the complexities of NHS bid writing and coordinate well with various departments within our organisation.
Setting Expectations
Once you have identified a bid writer with the necessary expertise and a strong success rate, you proceed to set clear expectations. This involves discussing the specific requirements of your healthcare contract and ensuring they understand the detailed nature of the tender documents. You should emphasise the importance of compliance and the need for evidence-based responses that reflect the high standards expected in the healthcare sector. Additionally, outline the timelines and our expectations regarding their availability and responsiveness throughout the bid writing process. By setting these expectations early, you ensure a smooth collaboration and increase your chances of submitting a winning bid.

Music Hub Customer Relationship Management SystemUK Norwich Norfolk County CouncilThe Power of Music: A National Plan for Music Education (NPME) outlines a bold vision for music education in England - that all children and young people should be able to create music, learn a musical instrument, make music with others, learn to sing, and progress their interests and talents as far as they would like. Partnership between the broad range of services, organisations, and educators that are relevant to the musical lives of children and young people is essential if this is to be achieved. The work of Norfolk County Council’s Music Service and the opportunities being created through the current Norfolk Music Hub structure for a diverse range of children and young people, including those with SEND and from our more disadvantaged communities, fully supports our shared ambition for all children and young people to Flourish. Given the demonstrable positive impact that engagement in music has for individuals, it is also in line with Norfolk’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy and its priorities to drive integration, prioritise prevention, address inequalities, and enable resilient communities. Therefore, Norfolk County Council intend to procure a Music Hub Customer Relationship Management system to support the breadth and diversity of offer with adaptability for future requirements should these become required.

National funding for these hubs ceased in March 2023, with each ICS required to provide health & social care staff a similar level of support to the Covid hubs on an on-going basis. <br/><br/>Following a review of existing service provision, commissioners have identified the need to develop tier 3.5 - 4 enhanced psychological services (EPS) to complement existing tier 1-3 provision. The service is targeted at staff with more complex clinical presentations that typically require a higher degree of face-to-face interventions. The tier 3.5 - 4 enhanced psychological services will primarily support individual staff with their mental health but will also occasionally be offered to their wider teams.<br/><br/>The transitional funding provided by the local ICB expires at the end of the ‘23/’24 financial year, with each ICS organisation required to fund support for its own staff with effect from April ’24. A combination of existing service provision and financial constraints means that the EPS service will only be commissioned by 3 of the 5 local NHS trusts (Norfolk & Norwich, James Paget, and Norfolk Community Health & Care), as well as the ICB. This procurement seeks to establish a common service, with each trust contracting separately with the chosen provider.<br/><br/>The contract will be for a period of 3 years with a contract value between £350,000 - £500,000 over the full 3-year contract period.<br/><br/>This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Contract Notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
