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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
Bid Writing Process

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.

Researching 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Seed Collection & Associated Services
UK Inverness Forestry and Land Scotland

Forestry and Land Scotland (the Authority) look after the national forests and land to enhance biodiversity, support tourism, and increase access to the green spaces that will help improve Scotland’s physical and mental health and well-being.

Presently 28% of these trees are grown at the Authority’s owned Newton Nursery with the remaining 72% currently contract grown or purchased within the private nursery sector.The Authority also purchases a proportion of seed externally to support the production of stock from its Newton Nursery operation. However, the Authority also sells a proportion of the seed it collects and that is surplus to requirements in support of the wider UK forestry sector. Purchased seed typically includes; Scots pine, Norway spruce, Douglas fir and Alaskan Lodgepole pine, with seed sold to the sector being mainly improved Sitka spruce. Seed availability and plant demand however is subject to change due to the impact of multiple unpredictable variables; e.g., unpredictable mast years or changes in felling/restocking sites, disease etc. Purchased and sold seed may also require chemical treatment to ensure protection from pests, or indeed for seed primed or coated using new innovation technologies which can help to increase germination rates.Within this Framework Agreement specification, the Authority has a requirement for the provision of the following services:- Aerial Seed Collection;- Ground Seed Collection;- Rope Access Seed Collection;- Seed Processing, Testing and Storage; and- Seed Supply.
