If your Request for Tender or Request for Proposal asks for certain policies, plans or procedures to be included with your response, it’s vitally important to include them.
60% of government tenders fail to pass the procurement team’s review because they don’t include all the required compliance documents, no matter how good the tender or proposal response. The most common requirements for tender compliance in RFTs and RFPs are:
- Quality Policy
- Risk Management Plan
- Risk Management Policy
- Indigenous Participation Plan
- Indigenous Procurement Plan
- Modern Slavery Statement
- Contribution to the Local Economy
- Transition-In and Out Plans
- Customer Service Plan.
Tender Writers will help you by writing your policies and plans. We’ve written hundreds for professional services and services businesses. And once they’re written, they’re yours for future tenders and proposals.
What can tender writers do to help?
Many smaller services businesses and professional services firms already operate in compliance with the requirements of a tender, but they’ve never documented their policies. That’s where we can assist. We’ve helped businesses of all shapes and sizes to create standard policies that not only answer the requirements of the current RFT but which they can use many times over.
All policies are professionally written and designed and are provided as Word templates – all you have to do it insert your company’s logo and name.
What is the cost for policies and procedure writing?
Fees start from $295 plus GST.
We offer a discount for 5 or more policies.

Do I really have to include policies and procedures with tenders?
If the request for tender or request for proposal asks you to attach certain policies and procedures, it’s vitally important to do this.
No matter how good your tender may be, your submission won’t make it through the first cut if you don’t include all the requested information. Your tender will be non-complying.

How does writing tender policies and procedures work with Tender Writers?
At Tender Writers, we know many businesses already operate in compliance with the requirements of a tender, but they’ve never documented their policies and procedures.
For example, you know that you deliver high standards but you don’t have a written quality policy.
To start, we’ll ask you to share any policies you may have for review. We’ll then meet with you to ask questions about your current operations and practices. Our writer will draft the policies and procedures you require based on the information you provide and present drafts for your review. Once you’ve provided edits and any additional information we need, our writer will edit the final draft and have it proofread.
The result will be professional policies and procedures that answer your tender requirements and can be used many times.
I've got existing policies and procedures. Can Tender Writers help me improve them?
Absolutely. If your policies and procedures need polishing, Tender Writers can review, provide feedback, edit and proofread them.
Tender Writers can cross-check your policies and procedures against the request for tender or proposal to make sure they address all of the requirements.
Tender Writers will make sure your tender policies and procedures will be the very best they can be.
