2P A G E
The tender writing application process provides both short-term and long-term opportunities to
businesses that may not have has access to previously or may not have thought possible for them.
These tender writing applications need careful consideration, thought, planning and effort put into
them in order to be successful. Businesses must understand that there is no gain in hand passing
tender writing applications to an existing employee such as an administration assistant, media
consultant or even a senior manager who does not have the skills to effectively write the tender
application.
Becoming A Successful Tender Writer?
3P A G E
Businesses must realise is that tender application writing is a craft that takes time and a multitude of
skills. Tender application writing requires a particular type of person who has the necessary skills and
abilities to create a document that addresses all the technical parts required. What are some of the
qualities make up a successful tender application writer? Why should organisations think about
employing a tender writer for their tender writing applications? Here are the top skills we see as
essential for a tender writer.
4P A G E
It is probably obvious that tender application writers must also have superior written communication
skills in order to answer all questions in most clear and concise way possible. However, it is
important to note that tender application writing is not just about answering a set of questions
posed in a document. What may not be as clear is that tender application writers must also have
excellent verbal communication skills in order to communicate with the tenderer to discuss in more
detail the requirements and expectations of the tender application.
Excellent communication skills both verbal and written
5P A G E
They may also be required to communicate verbally with clients, customers and referees that can provide
supporting evidence for the application. So, make sure that whoever you choose to undertake your tender
application is able to communicate both verbally and in a written form.
6P A G E
Tender application writers must be able to work well under pressure and be aware of the time
frames associated with the tender they are applying for. An experienced tender application writer
will plan out the tender writing process, looking at each question individually and calculating what
evidence may be needed to support the question. The writer will allow time for proof reading and
review by senior management staff as well as additional time to make any changes required. It
should never be underestimated how long a tender may take to write and working to a plan assist in
this process.
Time management skills and the ability to work under pressure
7P A G E
Make sure to ask your tender writer for their written plan on how they will achieve the final
document within the designated timeframes. This will provide you with a clear understanding of
the process and direction they are taking as well as giving you an idea of the time you need to set
aside to review the document.
8P A G E
Tender writing often requires creatively in order to answer the questions asked. Tender application
writers must be able to show tenderers that they can offer them the best service and the most
benefits. They want to see an organisation that stands out, one that goes above and beyond and one
that can address issues and problems should they arise.
Ability to think outside the box
9P A G E
Answers that think ‘outside of the box’ to produce excellent benefits for the tenderer will be
remembered and go a long way towards your success. While it is important to be creative
remember to always be honest and don’t over exaggerate what you can achieve. If you are
successful you will be locked into what you have said you can do. Don’t make the mistake of not
being able to deliver on your promises.
10P A G E
More often than not tender application writing required significant research. Tenderers will request
information relating to company profiles, policies and procedures, staff inductions and training,
financial statements just to name a few. Therefore, tender writers must have the ability to research
the necessary documentation, interpret it and pull out the essential components required to
complete the tender.
Research and computer skills
11P A G E
They must then attach this documentation to the relevant questions and ensure that it is
references correctly. Of course, in this day and age it goes without saying that this will be collected
and submitted electronically. So of course your chose tender written must be familiar with email,
spreadsheets, budgets and word documents just to name a few.
12P A G E
