TENDERS

Tender Review Service

You’ve written the bid. Before it’s submitted, let evaluator-trained eyes find the dropped marks — gaps, generic answers, missed criteria and compliance risks — while there’s still time to fix them.

HOW WE HELP

Strengthen the Bid Before It's Sent

A review is the highest-return hour in tendering: your team is too close to the draft to see what an evaluator will see, and evaluators see quickly — questions answered around rather than answered, claims without evidence, criteria untouched, and the tell-tale genericism of recycled content.

Our review reads your draft exactly as an evaluator will: against each question’s criteria and weighting, scoring what is on the page rather than what you meant. Every response returns with specific findings — where marks are dropped, what evidence is missing, where structure hides your answer — and concrete rewrites or fixes, prioritised by weighting so your remaining time goes where the marks are.

We also run the compliance pass writers skip: instructions followed, limits respected, mandatory documents present, pricing and quality answers consistent with each other.

OUR UNDERSTANDING

What Reviews Consistently Find

The same findings recur across almost every draft we review: the direct answer buried in paragraph three; evidence asserted (‘robust’, ‘comprehensive’) rather than shown; one criterion in a multi-part question silently unaddressed; social value commitments too vague to score; and mobilisation timelines that an evaluator will not believe. Each is quickly fixable once seen — the entire value of the review is seeing them before the evaluator does.

THE PROCESS

How We Work With You

I. Evaluator-mode read

Your draft is scored against the published criteria and weightings, exactly as marking will work.

II. Findings and prioritisation

Every dropped mark, gap and risk is documented — prioritised by question weighting so fixes go where marks are.

III. Fixes and rewrites

Concrete recommendations and, where included, rewritten passages for the weakest high-weight responses.

IV. Compliance pass

Instructions, limits, mandatory documents and internal consistency verified before submission.

Questions Providers Ask Us

Reviews are the fastest of our tender services — days, not weeks — but the earlier the review, the more of its findings you can act on. A review with 48 hours left still catches compliance risks and quick wins; a review a week out transforms the bid.

Both models exist: findings-only, or findings plus rewriting of the weakest high-weighted responses. Most clients choose the latter for the sections where marks concentrate.

Yes — post-award reviews of evaluator feedback against your submission are among the most valuable exercises in tendering, and they routinely change how the next bid is written.
