Bid Writing

What Is Bid Writing?

Hearing Loss Cornwall

"Freya, your professional guidance around our current bid writing really was excellent. Thank you so much for appreciating what, and how, we needed to write, in a way that would be informative, authentic and share our concerns for the people who we support. A fresh vantage point with truthful and guided feedback is exactly what we needed. It has made the task of bid writing a much more positive and less stressful experience."

How Can Engaging a Freelance
Bid Writer Help?

Success

Using a bid writer is proven to significantly enhance your chances of winning the tender. We offer expertise in bid strategy, understanding evaluation criteria, analysing the client or funder requirements to tailor responses accordingly, and communicating your proposition.

Language

We are skilled in using appropriate language. A bid needs to be persuasive and compelling, but easy to digest.

Time

Compiling tender responses is time-consuming, especially if it’s not your forte. We can take a large proportion of the work off your hands, freeing up time to focus on your core business activities.

Quality

Bid writers pay meticulous attention to detail. We will ensure your proposal is error-free and submitted to a professional standard.

Communication

You know your work or project aspirations inside out, but the evaluator reading your proposal won’t. We look at your bid from an outsider’s perspective and understand how to simplify the content to suit the reader.

Investment

Consider a bid writer as an investment – the cost of bid services is very little in relation to the potential reward if the proposal is successful. You may also learn hints and tips along the way that you can employ in future bids!

"I recently worked with Freya from Write Cornwall on a tender submission, and I was very impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail, and understanding of the bidding process. She quickly grasped the requirements and helped present our business in the best possible light. Although we’re still awaiting the outcome of the bid, I was very pleased with the quality of her work and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for expert support with bid writing."

Proofread and Edit

If you’ve drafted your bid in-house, but want to be sure it reads clearly, correctly, and professionally, I can review your responses before submission. I’ll correct any errors and enhance the overall presentation without changing your core message.

This includes:

Spelling, grammar, and punctuation corrections
Clearer, more concise wording
Consistent tone and professional language
Formatting tidy-up (headings, bullets, layout)
Light, plain English editing for readability.

'Critical Friend' Review

Aimed at teams who have already drafted a bid but need honest, constructive feedback to strengthen it. This can be for a bid you’ve not yet submitted, or a review of a previous tender so you can use the feedback to improve future bid responses.

I will review your submission from an evaluator’s perspective and provide:

Detailed comments throughout the document
Feedback on clarity, relevance, and persuasiveness
Suggestions where evidence is missing or weak
Recommendations for strengthening structure and messaging
Review against the bid instructions and marking scheme.

This will give you the insight to write stronger, more competitive responses yourself.

Contact

For most clients, I provide hands-on help to plan, structure, and write compelling bid responses from start to finish.

I will work closely with you to understand your business and unique strengths, then develop clear, tailored responses that align with the buyer’s requirements and give you the best chance of success.

This is very much a collaborative process, so I will take time to meet you in person or virtually to extract the necessary information or knowledge required for the tender. You will have plenty of opportunities for review or input along the way.
