Madrigal Communications recently organised a one-day seminar on “How to write a tender proposal”. In the corporate world, a well-written and well-presented tender proposal might be the difference between success and failure since tender proposals are important in securing big contracts. Recognising this, Madrigal Communications arranged for the event to address the issue that organisations encounter while drafting successful proposals. The participants came from most sectors including: construction, infrastructure, energy and defence sectors.
The seminar highlighted the significance of a good tender proposal that is professionally written whilst addressing all the mandatory criteria that need to be fulfilled—especially since it is the first step to securing a prestigious job.
The seminar was hosted by Tim Entwisle, Director of Madrigal Communications. He opened the day by highlighting the importance of crafting a professional tender proposal that ticks all the boxes.
“If you haven't written a successful tender before this, you might find the process of drafting one daunting” he explained.
“Many businesses lose out on lucrative opportunities due to poor promotion and marketing. You have to understand that tender proposals are technical documents. Your achievements and experience are empty words if your tender proposal doesn’t prove that it meets the requirements.”
He highlighted that it is essential to begin the task by reading all the documents and understanding what is required. It is also important to prepare responses with the required information and documents. To draft an effective tender proposal, it is essential to incorporate case studies, graphs, and charts, whilst focusing on the why and how of your tender responses. The fundamental principle is that anything that does not add value to the decision is not necessary.
The seminar was designed to enhance the participants' understanding of the entire tendering process. The topics covered were:
• Planning to project manage the process
• How to use the provided formats and templates
• Focussing on clarity
• Developing a concise and structured proposal
• Writing impactful content and addressing the selection criteria
• Choosing the right referees to include in the document
• The importance of timely submission
The seminar was successful, and the participants provided positive feedback highlighting its practicality and relevance in the industry.
Madrigal Communications also offers tender writing training across a wide range of tendering topics to assist clients in improving their skills. You can visit their website for further details.
