Before you hire one
- Ask who will actually write your bid, and whether they have written for your sector.
- Ask how they charge: by the day, per bid, or with a fee if you win, and what is included.
- Ask how they will use your own evidence. A good bid is about what you have done, not stock wording.
- Ask how they use AI tools, and who checks what goes in.
- Ask for a recent client you can speak to.

Firms appear in a fresh random order each day, so nobody is always at the top; choose A to Z to find a firm by name. Nobody pays to be listed or to appear higher. Company details come from Companies House; descriptions are factual summaries of what each firm says it does. Is your firm missing, or is something here wrong? Tell us and we will add, correct or remove it.
Worth it?
When a bid writer is worth paying for
When the contract is large enough that a better-written bid changes the outcome, and you do not have the time or the experience in-house. Framework applications, which can run for four years, are a common case.
When you are new to public sector bidding: a good bid writer teaches you the structure buyers score against, and the second bid is easier to write yourself.
Less so for small, simple quotes, or when you would struggle to supply the evidence: no writer can invent the case studies, accreditations and figures a bid needs.
Doing it yourself
Finding the right tenders first
Whether you write the bid yourself or hire someone, the work starts with finding the right opportunities early. Tender Radar sends a scored shortlist of new public sector tenders every weekday morning, and shows which contracts in your market are coming up for renewal months before they are re-tendered.
Find the right tenders before you brief a writer
A bid writer can only work on what you find. Tender Radar reads every new UK public sector notice, scores it against what you do and emails you the ones worth bidding for every weekday morning, with the contracts in your market coming up for renewal. 30 days free, no card needed.
Are you a bid writer?
Listing is free. You can also put a free search of live UK public sector tenders on your own website, starting with the sectors you work in: two lines of code, set up in a couple of minutes. To add or correct your listing, get in touch.
Get a free tender search for your websiteBid writer? Get your clients' tenders in one morning email
The agency plan runs a radar for each client from one account. One email covers every client, grouped by account, with each client's contracts coming up for renewal. 5 client accounts for £1,200 a year, 10 for £2,000.
The best bid starts with the right tender, found early
Whoever writes it, a scored shortlist of new UK public sector tenders every weekday morning, and the contracts in your market coming up for renewal months before they are re-tendered.
