90% tender success rate, impressive, right?

But does a higher success rate necessarily mean a better bid writing company? Not always.

There’s often much more behind those headline figures than you might think, from the types of tenders being pursued to what actually counts as a win.

In our latest blog, Matt takes a closer look at what tender success rates really tell you and what businesses should consider when choosing a bid writing partner.

You've advertised for a bid writer, but you've also got three tenders landing over the next six weeks. What happens in between?

Finding an experienced bid professional takes time. Then there are interviews, notice periods and onboarding before they're fully up and running. Unfortunately, your tender pipeline doesn't wait.

We can provide experienced bid support while you recruit, helping you manage opportunities, submissions and deadlines without piling the additional workload onto your existing team.

Then, when your new person arrives, there can be a much more controlled handover rather than expecting them to walk straight into a backlog of live bids.

Recruiting might still be absolutely the right long-term decision, but you don't have to put your growth plans on hold while you do it.

If you're currently recruiting for a bid or tender role and need support in the meantime, get in touch.

Do you need a bid writer, or do you actually need a tendering function?

There's an important difference. Writing the response is only one part of successful tendering. Someone also needs to identify and assess opportunities, make good bid/no-bid decisions, manage deadlines and contributors, develop evidence, review submissions, learn from feedback and continually improve the process.

That's a lot to expect from one hire.

For businesses where public sector tendering is becoming a serious route to growth, outsourcing can provide access to a broader range of tender expertise rather than relying on one individual to do everything.

The result isn't simply additional writing capacity, it's a more structured approach to deciding what to bid for, producing stronger submissions and improving performance over time.

So, before recruiting another bid writer, consider what you're really trying to build. If it's a stronger tendering function rather than simply filling a vacancy, let's talk.

If tendering is becoming a bigger part of your growth strategy, there usually comes a point where something has to change.

As your business grows, so do the number of tender opportunities coming your way. At first, it’s manageable. Existing team members pick things up alongside their day jobs, dipping in and out of bids as and when they arise, but over time, that approach starts to stretch. Not because people aren’t capable, but because tendering demands focus, consistency and time that’s hard to find alongside everything else.

It’s usually at this point the question comes up “do we need to hire a dedicated tender writer?”....READ MORE

Thinking about recruiting a bid writer?

Before you write the job description, it’s worth asking what problem you actually need them to solve.

Is it that you have more tender opportunities than your existing team can manage? That senior people are spending too much time on bids? That results are inconsistent? Or that tendering is becoming an increasingly important part of your growth plans and you need a more structured approach?

Those aren't necessarily the same problem, and recruiting one person isn't always the only answer.

For some businesses, an experienced external tender partner can provide the capacity, expertise and structure they need without waiting months to recruit and onboard someone internally.

And if an internal hire is ultimately the right answer, external support can keep your tender pipeline moving while you find the right person.

If you're currently considering recruiting a bid writer, talk to us before you make the decision. We can help you look at what your business actually needs and whether recruitment, outsourcing or a combination of the two makes most sense.

If public sector tendering is part of your growth strategy, finding more opportunities isn't necessarily the answer.

We regularly see businesses looking for the next tender to bid for, when the more important question is whether they're pursuing the right contracts in the first place.

A £1m opportunity might look attractive, but does it fit your experience, capacity and growth plans? Can you meet the requirements? Do you have the evidence to compete? And if you win it, is it actually a contract you want to deliver?

Strong tendering businesses don't treat every opportunity as an opportunity.

They're selective. They understand where they are most competitive, build a pipeline around the contracts they genuinely want to win and invest their time accordingly.

That's when tendering becomes part of a long-term growth strategy, rather than a succession of bids.

If public sector contracts are part of your growth plans, but you're not confident you're pursuing the right opportunities, let's have a conversation. We can help you build a more focused approach to tendering that supports where you want the business to go.

Social Value is changing.
The Government has published PPN 026, its updated Social Value Model, and there are some significant changes for businesses bidding for public sector contracts.

The new model focuses on just two outcomes: good jobs and skills, with new weighting requirements for larger contracts. It comes into effect from 1 January 2027, but buyers are being encouraged to adopt it sooner.

So, what’s changed, who does it apply to and what should you be doing now to prepare?

Quite a week at Complete Tenders!

We turned 11, launched our new website, got the team together for lunch, ate a fair amount of cake… and even managed to fit in the usual tendering.

A good week all round. 😊

Yesterday we celebrated 11 years of Complete Tenders.

Today, we’re looking ahead...our new website is officially live! 🎉

Over the years, Complete Tenders has evolved considerably. We’ve expanded our expertise, developed new ways to support businesses and gained an even deeper understanding of what organisations need if they want to compete successfully for contracts. We needed a website that better reflected the business we are today.

The new site makes it easier to understand how we work in partnership with businesses to make tendering a more consistent part of their long-term growth. Whether that means ongoing strategic support, identifying the right opportunities, strengthening your approach to tendering or providing expert help when you need it, our focus is on helping you build a stronger, more sustainable route to winning contracts.

You’ll also find more of our results, insights and practical resources to help you make better decisions about tendering.

It feels rather fitting to launch it as we begin our 12th year.

New website...same team...same commitment to helping businesses compete for and win the contracts that can help them grow.
