Top Tips

  • Before completing your quotation or tender, familiarise yourself with our standard terms and conditions and policies. 
  • Be mindful of the submission deadlines. We do not recommend waiting until the final day to upload or submit your bid. Technical or system issues are a risk that may lead to you missing the deadline. 
  • Read the instructions included in the documentation which will set out how to bid.
  • Read the specification carefully to ensure you understand what is required. 
  • If there is anything that is not clear, do ask clarification questions.
  • Make sure you can match the technical, skill and experience requirements.  
  • We can only evaluate what you have submitted. We cannot refer to any previous knowledge or experience we have with a supplier unless it is in your submission – do not make any assumptions about what we may or may not know about your or your company. 
  • It seems obvious, but please ensure you answer the question/criteria.
  • If you appoint a bid writer or use AI to assist in preparing your bid, we recommend that this is checked and verified by those who will be delivering the contract to ensure it is deliverable.
