Bid & Tender
Writing

By Roy Ringland | Public Sector Contracts | Updated Nov 2025

Winning public sector contracts is the "Holy Grail" for many NI businesses. It guarantees revenue, timely payment, and long-term stability. But the application process is a minefield of compliance, scoring matrices, and "bureaucratic speak."

If you are great at what you do but bad at writing about it, you will lose to an inferior competitor who wrote a better bid. Data Point Digital bridges that gap. We turn your operational excellence into winning tender submissions.

The 80/20 Rule

In most tenders, 20% of the score is price, but 80% is "Quality." You can be the cheapest option and still lose if your answers on Social Value, Environmental Policy, and Methodology don't score high enough. We maximize your Quality score.

Our Tender Services

1. "Live" Bid Writing

Found a contract on eTendersNI or OJEU that you want to win? We manage the entire submission. We interview your subject matter experts, write the responses, gather the evidence (case studies, CVs, policies), and ensure the final document is persuasive and compliant.

2. The "Bid Library" Build

Stop starting from scratch every time. We build you a "Bid Library"—a repository of pre-written, high-scoring answers for common questions (Health & Safety, Quality Assurance, Social Value). This allows your internal team to respond to smaller tenders in 24 hours instead of 2 weeks.

3. Review & Polish

Written the bid yourself but not sure if it's good enough? We act as a "Critical Friend." We review your submission against the scoring matrix, identify weak areas, and rewrite them to squeeze out extra marks.

Why You Need a Professional Writer

Tender evaluators are human. They are bored, tired, and reading 20 submissions that all look the same.

We write to win. We use clear structure, persuasive language, and visual evidence (charts, infographics) to make your bid stand out. We know exactly what the evaluators in Northern Ireland councils and government bodies are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your win rate?

Win rates vary by industry and competition, but our clients typically see a 60-75% improvement in their quality scores after engaging us.

Do you take a commission?

No. We charge a flat fee for the work done. Commission-based bidding is unethical and often prohibited in public sector procurement.

Can you help with PQQ/SQ?

Yes. The Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) or Selection Questionnaire (SQ) is the first hurdle. We ensure you pass this stage to get invited to the full tender (ITT).
