Win more business with Australia’s most experienced government tender writers

When it comes to writing government tenders and proposals, winning has many upsides. Recognition, increased likelihood of winning business from other government departments and quick and reliable payments.

But winning government business through government tenders can be arduous. Understanding what the government procurement team is looking for; how to answer the questions in the request for tender or proposal; and dealing with the myriad of paperwork that comes with government tenders requires expert skill and experience. That’s where Proof Communications’ tender writers can help you.

RFT, RFQ, RFP, EOI – WHAT IT ALL MEANS FOR GOVERNMENT TENDER WRITING

There’s also the challenge of understanding the different types of tenders, proposals, expressions of interest and quotations issued by government. Government tenders involve acronyms, such as RFT, RFP, RFQ and EOI, plus significant paperwork. Making sure that all the paperwork is correctly completed with your tender is vital. More than 60% of companies responding to tenders fail because they do not complete all the compliance requirements properly.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU WITH GOVERNMENT TENDER WRITING

Before joining Proof Communications, our tender writers worked in-house with large services organisations writing successful tenders and proposals to government, listed and private companies. 

With their professional expertise, our tender writers understand how to support you through the tender submission process to ensure that your tenders to government are the best it can be.

With our tender and proposal writing services, you’ll have a polished, professional tender or proposal response that highlights your organisation’s benefits and values and gives you the best opportunity to win the government tender and the contract.

We take a rigorous approach to writing successful government tenders: we make sure that all the criteria are thoroughly addressed; all the questions are answered appropriately; and all the required compliance is in place. We’ll help you to work out your key selling messages and advise on graphics.

We can review your draft tender and give you important feedback

If you prefer to write your own government tenders, we can provide you with an independent review of your draft tender. We’ll provide feedback, edit or rewrite parts, where needed, and proofread the draft.

Businesses that ask us to edit or proofread their draft tenders or proposals value our feedback. They receive advice on solid improvements to their tender writing, plus they know that their tender is free of typos and that the content flows. This gives them great peace of mind when submitting tenders. 

Most clients prefer us to manage the entire process for them as their expert tender writers.

GOVERNMENT TENDER WRITING FAQs

  • How is the process of writing government tenders different from that of business tenders?

    Although the goal of bid and tender writing services is essentially the same, writing government tenders is considered a bit more challenging. Since government tenders are open to public scrutiny, they follow a very specific format and must be written in strict adherence to all instructions given in the request for tender or proposal. 

    Likewise, private and listed companies seeking tenders or proposals often have a rigorous tender response process, with a formal request for tender or proposal. Others, however, can be much more informal and you may therefore find the process of tendering to listed and private companies very different to tendering to government.

    Most requests for tenders or proposals from government, private and listed companies come with a template with word count limits and file format requirements. You need to address the selection criteria, choose relevant referees and comply with other requirements in your tender. Whether you are responding to an RFT or RFP, missing any required information could disqualify you from the tender. 

    This is why it’s crucial for our tender and proposal writers to see and scrutinise the actual RFT or RFP, as well as copies of your previous tender documents. This way, we can collate relevant information, ask questions and help you create a professionally written tender that’s complete and compliant.

  • What makes Proof Communications stand out amongst other government tender writers?

    Proof Communications has been providing tender writing services for over two decades. We have a verifiable track record of success in helping companies win government tenders — including ones from the Australian Government, local and state governments and related agencies.

    Our writers and editors have enjoyed stellar careers in their respective fields and have proven their expertise in writing government tenders and award entries with a winning edge, as well as in providing impeccable proofreading services.

  • How much does Proof Communications charge for its government tender writing services?

    While we maintain a pricing list for our services, no two government tender writing projects are exactly the same. We calculate the fee per project based on several factors, such as the number of questions in the RFT or RFP, the level of complexity, the number of days dedicated to working on the project and the amount of research and data collation. This means that we need to see the document you want us to work on so we can provide you with a fair, no-obligation quote.
