BidBuddy
Tendering Services

It depends on your budget, and the value of the tender you are responding to. In some cases, the opportunity isn’t high-enough value to justify paying a professional. So we recommend that you instead invest 2 hours and watch our free course.

Our service offerings can be found here. We can coach you, do it for you, or clean your document up at the end.

If you want to have access to a range of resources, you can purchase them individually, or sign up to a membership for more ongoing value.

If you would like instead to have a discussion, call us, or book a free no strings attached consultation at a time convenient to you.

Ask around and see who uses who. Check out their referees. Talk to them. Select the one you feel the most confident in.

While you can’t ask for samples of their work, you can check out their website. If it is boring, lifeless and dull, chances are their tenders will be equally boring, lifeless  and dull.

Don’t be fooled by “qualifications”. Good tender writing relies on a wealth of experience and talent, not just education and skills.

This is a business where you definitely get what you pay for. Don’t fall for the cheapest, as you can be assured they will not be able to spend the time necessary to do anything more than an adequate job.

You can check out our our actual feedback here.

We don’t give a price out over the telephone, nor do we quote a job unseen.

If you are really interested, talk to us first, and send us a copy of the tender you are interested in bidding for.

If you would like a ball-park budget estimate, check out our calculator to work out how much to set aside and what is “too much” to spend on getting your tender written (i.e. the point at which your costs exceed your desired profit).

Writing a good tender response takes many, many hours of work. For first-timers with a simple tender, at least 30-40 hours, and more if we are looking at a large, complex job.

So the short answer is “yes, probably”. Contact us to see what we can do for you.

Ever seen what lawyers charge to represent people in court where anything can (and does) happen? Do most people represent themselves?

You aren’t paying us to concoct a story that will persuade the buyer. You are paying us to represent your story in its best possible light.

Check our our bid/no bid calculator to assess your chances. Don’t use “hope marketing”. If you don’t have the story, don’t bid.

And do talk to us about flexible arrangements.

No, we rely on you to do that ground work. Let us refer you to our good friends Australian Tenders. Sign up for a $100 discount code to help you on your journey. And don’t forget to come back to discuss your opportunity when you find it.

So many people are on the ChatGPT cruisade.

Knock yourself out. Use an online tool to write generic content that it sourced from somewhere else. Use that to represent you, your business, and your service offering. Use that to convince a buyer that you are the perfect supply partner for them.

Don’t get me wrong: ChatGPT is good to get yourself started when you have absolutely no idea what to write. It gives you a great structure, that it pinched from somewhere else. But to suggest that it can write laser focused on-point persuasive content is a dangerous assumption.

What ChatGPT lacks, and will always lack, is discernment. It cannot create new, it can only repurpose already referenced material, which is at least a couple of years old.

We don’t use ChatGPT. For two reasons: (1) everybody else will, so they will all take on the same grey hue in a competitive setting; and (2) we don’t need to. We know what we are doing and ChatGPT doesn’t cut it.
