1 The National Careers Service defines a Bid Writer’s role as preparing ‘documents used to pitch for contracts to provide services, or to apply for project funding’.We see Bid Writing as key within the sales and marketing function for any business involved in formal tenders or contract opportunities. It involves the creation of proposals and responding to formal tender opportunities. For some organisations, this sits within a larger bid team with Bid Support, Senior Bid Writers, Bid Managers, Work Winning Managers, Capture Managers and Bid Directors. However, for other businesses, the bid writing and management of the bid process belongs to the Senior Management Team or is dispersed across regional sales staff. Bid Writing is a key skill in an emerging market due to the increasing requirements for value for money, accountability and transparency in public sector contracting authorities and private sector buyers. As a result, more robust procurement rules and procedures are in use. More formal tenders have led to an increased need for a bid and tender solution. This solution usually comes in the form of directly employed bid professionals, which we supply through our Bid Resource division or through the training of existing staff in Bid Writing, which we offer through our Bid Training division. Outsourced Bid Writing is also a possibility, which we provide via our Bid Writing Consultancy division. We have recently launched our Tender Library software v2.0 which helps organisations of all sizes to produce better bids.
