A common goal for every business, regardless of the industry it operates within, is to increase their rate of winning bids and secure more lucrative contracts. However, the process of writing tenders and proposals is infamously difficult and complex to navigate through without professional assistance by your side.
Many businesses struggle to write tender responses. This is understandable; tender applications can be complex, and the process requires great attention to detail if you are to accurately capture the experience and ethos of your business.
However, competing for tenders is well worth the effort.
Local councils advertise a range of procurement opportunities every year, as do their state and federal counterparts. Local government tenders provide an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses to explore the world of government tenders whilst supporting the needs of their communities.
Every year, the Australian federal, state and local governments advertise thousands of tender opportunities, which are eagerly snapped up by businesses across a range of industries. Government tenders provide an excellent platform for you to showcase the capabilities of your company and further expand your project portfolio.
In simple terms, a tender is a formal offer to perform work. Many industries use the tendering process in order to advertise key projects via a ‘Tender Request’ (similar to a job advertisement) and invite parties to express their interest by submitting a ‘Response to Tender’.
