Frequently asked questions

How much does bid writing cost?

Bid writing starts from £499. Every other piece of work gets a fixed quote once we have seen the requirement, agreed before we start. Prices exclude VAT where applicable. See our pricing page for details.

Do you guarantee we will win?

No. Tenders are scored on your capability, evidence and commercial offer as well as the written response. We commit to a clean, compliant, well-evidenced submission.

Can you review a bid we have written ourselves?

Yes. Our bid review service marks your draft the way an evaluator will and shows where you lose marks. You can also ask for a free bid review.
