Bid writing
Professional bid writing to produce compliant, compelling bid responses
EiB has helped clients to secure many iconic projects in the UK and Europe over the past 30 years. We provide technical writing and copywriting skills at all stages of the bid life cycle to produce high-quality responses. Our editing process is not stand-alone but woven into all aspects of bid production.
Storyboarding
Storyboarding (or answer planning) is the first stage of the EiB Way after the bid documents are published.
We set up face-to-face or remote sessions with question owners and subject matter experts to capture their input against our proposed question breakdowns. We use this to ensure there is a clear link to the evaluation criteria and assure the question and scope of work are fully covered. Our team extracts information from client documents to focus the session on preparing responses with clear differentiators, detailed method and approach, high-quality evidence and a focus on benefits, impact and outcomes.
Our writers possess the facilitation skills to lead productive discussions with subject matter experts and operational staff. They ensure win themes and client hot buttons are considered from the outset and throughout the writing process.
Bid writing
Building on the storyboards, our writers work side by side with subject matter experts to elaborate and challenge the storyboard content, honing it towards specific client drivers and evaluation requirements. They are flexible in working alongside the operational team members’ day jobs to create positive and collaborative relationships.
We prepare a bid-specific style guide to ensure consistent use of language, grammar and templates, supporting our writing team to maintain consistent high standards across bid drafting and through each review stage gate.
