Services
Bid Writing & Tender Support for Construction and FM Businesses
Winning more public and private sector contracts starts with a bid that scores well - not just one that reads well. The Bid Method provides specialist bid writing, tender review, and full bid management services for construction, facilities management, and built environment businesses across the UK. Whether you need a single tender written from scratch or ongoing support across your entire bid pipeline, you work directly with an APMP-qualified consultant who understands how evaluators score.
How I Can Help
Flexible Bid Support, Built Around How You Work
Not every business needs the same level of support. Some clients need a single tender written end-to-end; others need an extra pair of hands during a busy period, or ongoing support across a full pipeline of opportunities. The Bid Method offers five core services, each designed to slot into your business exactly where you need it most.
Bid Writing (Write It For Me)
Full bid writing from start to finish. You provide the tender documents and background information; The Bid Method produces clear, compelling, high-scoring responses aligned to the evaluation criteria - covering method statements, social value, quality plans and technical narrative.
Bid Review & RAG Reports
What is a RAG report in bid writing? A RAG report (Red, Amber, Green) is a structured review of a draft tender response, flagging what's strong (green), what needs improvement (amber), and what's at risk of scoring poorly (red) before submission. The Bid Method reviews your existing draft and returns a clear RAG report so you know exactly where to focus before the deadline.
End-to-End Bid Management
A strong submission depends on more than writing. I manage the full process: tender review, bid plan, responsibilities, clarification questions, information requests, compliance tracking, draft coordination, review stages, version control and final submission readiness.
What You Receive
- Bid plan and responsibilities
- Compliance and submission checklist
- Coordinated answer development
- Review and sign-off stages
- Final proofread and submission-ready file set
Tender Opportunity Search
Tender alerts only create value when the opportunities are relevant and realistic. I search for suitable public and private sector opportunities across construction, FM and the built environment, then help you assess fit before you commit time and resource.
What You Receive
- Agreed search criteria
- Relevant opportunity shortlist
- Headline fit and risk observations
- Key dates and next actions
A full bid/no-bid assessment can be added where required.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bid writing consultant cost in the UK?
Costs vary depending on tender complexity, length and turnaround time. The Bid Method provides a fixed-price quote after reviewing your tender documents, so there are no hourly surprises.
Can you help with both public and private sector bids?
Yes. The Bid Method supports construction, FM and built-environment businesses bidding for both public sector frameworks and private sector contracts.
Do you only work with large construction companies?
No - much of the work is with SMEs in construction, FM, M&E, property services and housing who have the expertise to win work but limited internal capacity to manage tendering.
What if I've already written a draft bid - can you just review it?
Yes - the RAG report review service is designed exactly for this: a structured second opinion before you submit.
Where is The Bid Method based, and do you work UK-wide?
Heather is based in Leeds and supports construction and FM businesses across the UK, working remotely with clients nationwide.
