If you think of writing a tender proposal as a chore then that is exactly what it will
become. A time-consuming and unsatisfying chore. The direct result of this, is a lack
lustre, inaccurate and unsatisfactory tender proposal. Knowing how and where to
begin can make the process seem a little less daunting.

- Research all the facts,
The competitors and the buyer. Know what the buyer is asking for. Think about whether it
is something you provide. Ensure you can realistically provide the goods or services. Know
your competitors. Have a think about what you can offer that they do not. Know who the
buyer is. Research what they do, who they service, what goods or services they provide
and require.
How to begin
4. 4P A G E
- Brainstorm ideas.
There is a lot of information you will need to provide so to begin with a brainstorming
session is a great idea. Everything you know and everything you need to research more.
5. 5P A G E
-Discuss with colleagues.
Tender Writing can be a time-consuming process which can use a lot of resources. Your
colleagues could prove to be a great resource. Some may have experience in tender
writing or have previous dealings with the buyer and can provide you with inside
information.
6. 6P A G E
- Decide on a format
And structure and stick to it through the entire proposal. An unclear and choppy tender
proposal can be confusing to the reader, and easily be overlooked for a simpler more
concise proposal.
Planning and Structure
7. 7P A G E
- Have all the information
You require before you start to write. Read all the requirements for tender carefully.
Ensure you have everything you need to address every one of the buyer’s requirements.
8. 8P A G E
- Arrange the content
So you have a logical beginning, middle and end. Take the time to construct a coherent
proposal.
- Be concise.
The buyer will appreciate if your tender proposal gets straight to the point as they may
have hundreds of tenders to read.
9. 9P A G E
- Ensure your content
Is focused on you and what you can offer the buyer. Stop writing occasionally to re-read
the buyer’s requirements. This will ensure that you stay focused.
- Never lose sight
Of the desired outcomes. These outcomes will help keep you focused.

- Take some time before editing.
As with any professional writing, it is always a good idea to take a break between writing
a document and editing. Fresh eyes will make an enormous difference.
