In 2011 more than 100,000 tenders, worth over £220 billion, will be published in the UK. That represents a significant opportunity for you to expand your business and increase your turnover by bidding for construction tenders.
Often, the work is right on your doorstep, and opportunities to bid for construction tenders will increase with the implementation of the new localism bill. This aims to force local authorities to seek out local companies to complete their contracts. Of course, there’s also a global market of private companies out there, just waiting for you to claim a slice of the construction contracts that are available.
This world of opportunity means you should consider carefully before writing a construction bid. Is the contract one that you really want to go for? You would be well advised to concentrate your construction bid writing in areas that are the core strengths for your business. There will be other opportunities to open up new markets through word of mouth and other avenues. For construction bid writing, stick to what you know best and gather some great feedback for a job well done. That completed tender is then likely to lead to referrals for more varied work.
Tenders Direct is a useful place to seek out construction bids. This comprehensive database is easy to search in quite focused geographical and work-related areas, so you can easily see where the construction bid opportunities are.

On your behalf, having scoped out your best fit construction bid opportunities, we can help you through all the stages of the bid writing process. From our experience, if you use our full construction bid writing service, you can realistically expect to be short-listed for one in three construction tenders and win sixty per cent of those bids.
We hold a library of your key documents such as insurance and policies, which will need to be submitted for every tender. Using those and in close consultation with you, we can complete the whole bid writing service for you.
You are in charge. Having been presented with the construction tender opportunities we find for you, if you want to take over the bid writing process from there, you can. Alternatively, we can handle the entire process for you.
Our construction bid writers have over 15 years’ experience in procurement and other relevant disciplines. They are familiar with many of the organisations and individuals buying construction services. That means they are well placed to help you through every stage towards winning a construction tender, from the invitation to tender right up to the final presentation.
Knowledge of the buyer is crucial to securing construction contracts. Buyers want to deal with contractors who fit in with their culture and who will follow their policies. As we know these buyers well, we can put you ahead of your competitors, with our team of experienced construction bid writers helping you to present your bid in a way that will score you highly in bid comparisons and which will tell buyers exactly why you are right for their job.
