What Makes Tender Proposals Fail; An Expert’s Insight


Posted January 25, 2022 by madrigalcomm

Last week, we had the wonderful opportunity to take part in a virtual technical writing workshop. Some well-known names were in attendance and the panellists shared valuable insights on the tendering process.
 
Afterward, we sat down with Tim Entwisle, Madrigal Communications director, to learn more about his approach to tender writing.

Entwisle has been in the industry for over three decades. He is a business communications and technical writing specialist, he has worked with organisations of all sizes, including government organisations and large corporations. Currently, he is the director of Madrigal Communications, a specialist copywriting agency in NSW.

Putting together a tender proposal for the first time can be especially overwhelming. Entwisle was kind enough to share his expertise to help budding writers navigate various tender writing challenges.

‘When you start looking for tenders, you will find countless options on the market. That does not mean you have to compete for each one. It is important to note that tendering is a time-consuming and expensive process. You do not want to waste resources on a contract you have no chance of winning. So, be selective when picking tenders’, shares the expert.

He continues, ‘The client’s requirements must be at the forefront of your tendering process. When writing tenders, you should address every question and requirement specified by the client. Otherwise, your proposal may be dismissed.

Speaking of specifications, following the format or template is something new writers often forget. If the buyer has listed a format, you need to write your proposal accordingly”.

‘Lastly, I cannot emphasise enough how important proofreading is. You cannot afford to submit a proposal full of spelling and grammatical errors. Such mistakes will create a poor impression on the evaluators’, Entwisle concludes.
