Tender Writing Tips

Finding the right tenders

Generally speaking, writing winning tenders begins with finding the tender opportunities that best suit your business. While it is, of course, possible to get results from an approach of “let’s try for everything”, being more selective and targeted is likely to improve your chance of success on any given tender submission and deliver a much better return on investment.

What is Tendering?

In simple terms, a tender is a job application, except that it’s businesses that are applying, rather than individuals.

Purchasers (state and federal government departments, local councils, or even some companies) will issue a request for tender, or RFT, when they’re looking for suppliers of a product or service that they need.
