“Having worked in a bid writing capacity for more than 20 years, I’ve seen the impact that good writing can have on success rates. It’s not just about submitting a compliant bid; it’s about telling a compelling story that aligns with the commissioner’s needs and demonstrates your organisation's unique value. A well-created bid should combine thorough research, clear and concise language, and a structured approach that guides the reader through your proposal effortlessly.
