What is bid writing?

Bid writing is the process of preparing a formal, structured written response to a tender opportunity, whether that is a Public Contract Notice, an Invitation to Tender (ITT), a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), or a framework application such as DOS 7 or G-Cloud.

When a public sector organisation, NHS trust, local authority or private company wants to procure a service, they issue a tender. To win that contract, suppliers must respond with a professionally written bid that demonstrates capability, value for money, social value and compliance with the buyer's requirements.

A poorly written bid, however strong your business, rarely wins. A professionally written bid, tailored to the buyer's scoring criteria and written with clear win themes, dramatically increases your chances of success.

That is what Hawkeye Solutions does.

Our bid writing service

We provide end-to-end professional bid writing services for UK businesses, with specialist expertise in recruitment sector tenders and IT consultancy frameworks.

Tender Analysis and Win Strategy

Before a single word is written, we analyse the tender in full: the scoring criteria, the buyer's priorities and the competitive landscape. We build a clear win strategy so every response is targeted to score maximum marks.

Stakeholder Interviews and Content Development

We conduct structured interviews with your key people to extract the evidence, case studies and differentiators that make your bid stand out. Nothing is generic; every response is built around your specific capabilities and track record.

Professional Writing and Revision

Our writers produce clear, compelling, fully compliant bid responses that answer what the buyer is actually asking, not just what is on the surface. You receive a full draft, plus up to two rounds of revisions before submission.

Compliance Checking and Submission Support

Before anything goes in, we conduct a full compliance review: word counts, mandatory attachments, portal requirements and scoring alignment. We make sure nothing is missed and your submission lands on time, every time.

Who we write bids for

We specialise in two sectors where tendering is complex, competitive and high-value.

Recruitment Sector Bid Writing

Recruitment agencies face some of the most competitive tendering landscapes in the UK, particularly across public sector, NHS workforce frameworks, utilities and managed service contracts. We understand the nuances of recruitment tendering: TUPE obligations, KPI structures, social value requirements and the specific language buyers use to evaluate suppliers.

We write bids for:

  • Public sector recruitment frameworks
  • NHS and health sector workforce tenders
  • Utilities and infrastructure recruitment contracts
  • Private sector managed service agreements

IT Consultancy Bid Writing

IT consultancy tendering is dominated by government frameworks, and getting onto the right ones is essential for sustainable public sector revenue. We have specific experience writing for Digital Outcomes and Specialists (DOS 7), G-Cloud, and other Crown Commercial Service frameworks that open doors to central government, local authorities, NHS digital and defence procurement.

We write bids for:

  • DOS 7 (Digital Outcomes and Specialists)
  • G-Cloud framework applications
  • Crown Commercial Service opportunities
  • Public sector IT and digital transformation contracts

Why choose Hawkeye Solutions for bid writing?

There are plenty of bid writing companies in the UK. Here is what makes working with Hawkeye different.

01

We Know Your Market

We do not write bids for every sector under the sun. We focus on recruitment and IT consultancy, which means we understand your buyers, your competitors and the frameworks that matter to your business. We speak the language of your procurement teams before we have written a word.

02

We Publish Live Tenders Daily

Every working day, Hawkeye publishes live tender opportunities across recruitment, IT, public sector, NHS and utilities on our free tender board. That market intelligence feeds directly into how we write bids; we know what buyers are asking for right now, not six months ago.

03

Full Service or Flexible Support

Not every client needs the same level of support. We offer full end-to-end bid writing for businesses that want us to handle everything, and our Bid Consultancy and Review service for teams who write their own bids but want expert oversight, quality checking and strategic improvement.

How our bid writing service works

A clear, four-step process from first conversation to final submission.

1

Discovery Call

We start with a free, no-obligation call to review your tender, understand your business and assess the opportunity. We will give you an honest view of your chances before you commit to anything.

2

Strategy and Planning

We map out the win themes, identify the scoring criteria and plan the response structure. You will know exactly what we are writing and why before we start.

3

Writing and Review

We write every response, share drafts with you for input and revisions, and refine until you are happy. Turnaround times are agreed upfront and always met.

4

Final Check and Submission

Full compliance review, portal check and final submission support. We make sure everything is correct, complete and submitted with time to spare.

Bid writing support to fit your budget

We know that not every business has the same resources, and not every tender requires the same level of support. That is why Hawkeye offers three ways to work with us.

1

Full Bid Writing

We take complete ownership of the written submission from strategy through to final draft. Best for businesses with limited internal resource or high-value opportunities where getting it right matters most.

2

Bid Management

We manage the entire bid process, coordinating internal stakeholders, tracking deadlines, sourcing supporting documents and quality assuring every element. We keep everything on track so nothing slips.

3

Bid Consultancy and Review

You write the first draft, we transform it. Our consultants review your responses against the scoring criteria, rewrite where needed, and return a professionally polished submission. A cost-effective option for teams with writing capacity but who need expert strategic input.

Not sure which option is right for you? Book a free consultation and we will advise you honestly.

Bid writing services, frequently asked questions

Bid writing costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the tender, the level of support required and the timescales involved. We offer fixed-fee quotes for every project; there are no hidden charges or open-ended day rates. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific tender.
Turnaround depends on the tender size, but most bids take between five and fifteen working days from kickoff to final draft. For urgent deadlines, we offer an expedited service; contact us to discuss your timescales.
A Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ), sometimes called a Selection Questionnaire (SQ), is the first stage of a competitive tender; it assesses whether your business meets the minimum requirements to proceed. An Invitation to Tender (ITT) is the full tender stage where you make the detailed case for why your business should win the contract. We support both stages.
Yes; recruitment sector tendering is one of our core specialisms. We have extensive experience writing for public sector recruitment frameworks, NHS workforce tenders, utilities contracts and private sector managed service agreements. We understand the specific requirements, KPI structures and social value expectations that recruitment buyers apply.
Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 (DOS 7) is a Crown Commercial Service framework that allows IT consultancies and digital service providers to sell to the UK public sector. Getting onto the framework requires a strong written application, and once you are on, individual opportunities are competed through written responses. We have specific experience supporting IT consultancies through both the application and call-off stages.
No ethical bid writing company can guarantee a win; procurement decisions are made by buyers, not writers. What we guarantee is a professionally written, fully compliant, strategically structured submission that gives you the strongest possible chance of success. We will also tell you honestly if we think a particular opportunity is not worth pursuing.
Our core specialisms are recruitment sector tendering and IT consultancy frameworks. We also support clients in public sector services, NHS procurement, utilities and professional services. Check our live tender board for current opportunities across all these sectors.
