Winning a Multi-Year ACT Government Tender: How Bidsmith Helped Secure Success

We’re proud to share another winning tender story, this time in the events and entertainment sector. Our client, a respected multi-generational family business, has been awarded a multi-year contract with Events ACT to deliver entertainment at government-funded events for the next five years. This win secures millions of dollars in revenue and provides a strong foundation for their continued growth.

The Challenge

This was no ordinary tender. The events and entertainment industry is highly specialised, and the government had plenty of capable providers to choose from. Our client faced several challenges:

• They didn’t have specialist tender writing resources in-house.
• Their team was busy delivering other major events at the same time.
• The tender required deep understanding of a niche industry and clear communication of unique value.

Without expert support, the client risked missing an important opportunity.

Bidsmith’s Role

Bidsmith stepped in to provide end-to-end tender consulting support, including:

• Bid planning to structure the response and meet all requirements.
• Tender writing to clearly present the client’s capabilities.
• Consulting and advice to strengthen key messages.
• Adaptation of existing materials to save time and reduce client workload.
• Infographic design and presentation to showcase key points visually.
• Independent peer review to refine and strengthen the submission before lodgement.

Our early identification of reusable materials helped reduce effort, while custom-designed infographics conveyed critical messages quickly and persuasively.

The Outcome

The result? A winning tender submission and a five-year contract with Events ACT. This contract not only provides reliable revenue, but also strengthens our client’s reputation with another long-term government partnership.
