Professional bid writing service helps you compile winning proposals on time and with less stress

Having to burn the midnight oil is an unfortunate reality when you need to get an important bid or proposal submitted to deadline. Indeed, it is not uncommon to find yourself greeting the dawn chorus before your material is ‘ready to roll’.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone work with you – through the night, if necessary – to help you meet deadlines? Plain Words’ Bid & Proposal Consultancy Service does just that.

Our bid writers act as professional back-up to ensure your proposals are completed to deadline and are of the highest quality (something that can slip when you are under pressure).

We carefully edit your material to create a sharp, uniform, and grammatically correct writing style.

Mistakes like inconsistent terminology, wordiness, and poor spelling, grammar and punctuation can kill a lucrative contract in its tracks.

The truth is, a prospective client may well rush off an e-mail to you with the odd typo. But they won't accept it from you. Not in a proposal. Informality can come later – when you've won the contract.

Being precise wins contracts

We also weed out ambiguity. It’s all too easy to be vague in your writing or over complex – especially when you are so close to the products or services you sell.

Being precise wins contracts. No prospective client will look on you kindly – no matter how big your organisation – if they have to waste precious minutes puzzling over whether a particular service or product is included in the package or offered at extra cost.

It might be clear to you, but if the client doesn’t ‘get it’, you stand to lose the contract to someone else. The solution is clear and precise writing.

Besides helping you edit and format proposals, we cast a critical eye over them. This outsider’s point-of-view can literally make the difference between a proposal that wins and a proposal that loses.

It’s very much like the novelist who insists on having a trusted friend read over their manuscripts before submitting them – the ‘outsider's eye’ making the difference between a book becoming a bestseller or ending up in the remainder bin.

We also iron out the formatting and style differences that always occur when different authors are working on a project. We make sure all terminology is consistent and correct and that documents are formatted with the same look and feel.

We also re-work or write material from scratch

As specialists in bid writing we can help you assess whether your proposal would benefit from re-working. It might need to be more focused and organised. Or it might need to be more compelling and persuasive.

Our bid writers know how to inject just the right degree of sales into the executive summary (too much and you are ‘shouting’; too little and you fail to get across the benefits).

If you are short on time or manpower, we can help write up your proposal from scratch. In which case, we make sure it is tailored precisely to your prospective client’s requirements – along with making a powerful case for the benefits of choosing your company over competing bidders.

Whatever level of help you require, we make sure your proposal pushes the right buttons and is written with a positive, confident tone.
