Any company that is involved with Government work knows that these contracts are obtained only after fierce competition. The large size and recurring nature of these contracts makes them very attractive to companies that deal in that particular field. Practically every contract in the private sector is awarded on the basis of a tender. These tenders have very stringent qualification requirements and this process serves to eliminate many of the companies that wish to obtain the business. Many times, the ability of a company to win a tender depends more on its ability in writing tenders than its actual capability of executing the work.

If you have a company that is aiming for certain contracts, your company needs to be as proficient in tender writing as it is in doing its work. You will not be invited for the next stage of the tendering process if your initial proposal writing does not present your company in the best light. In fact, many companies get eliminated based upon badly filled Pre Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs).

The other problem that many companies face, especially if they are very small, is that they do not have the manpower or resources required for proper tender writing. These companies are very good at their job and have people who possess the technical skills to get the Government contract done in the best manner possible. However they are unaware of the intricacies involved with writing tenders and are therefore not able to bid for these contracts. A company that is familiar with how Government bids are won will have a definite advantage over other companies that do not possess these skills.

You therefore have to give tender writing the importance it deserves. The frequency at which you will be bidding for Government contracts and the need to be writing tenders might not justify the employment of a person to do this work. The simplest solution is to obtain the help of companies that can do this work for you. In fact it makes a great deal of sense to just hire specialists who can take over the entire responsibility of writing proposals so that you can focus on your core competency.

A tender writing specialist offers you a wide range of services depending on your requirement. You could get a consultant to fill out the PQQs in the right manner so that you are invited to bid for the contract. The consultant will get all the paperwork in order and to highlight your company's strengths. Else, you could get the consultant to review the bid documentation you have prepared in order to look for anything you have inadvertently missed.

A company that takes over the responsibility of writing tenders will save you from having to employ bid management specialists full time. At the same time you will not have to face any delays in proposal writing because these specialists can organize the paperwork in a very short while. You can focus on doing the work that is your company's specialty while bid writing specialists will do their best to help you win Government contracts.
