Biddly is looking to expand its network of experienced subcontract bid and tender writers to support a growing pipeline of client work.
I’m looking for writers who genuinely understand bids and tenders — not simply strong generalist writers.
You’ll need to have
- Demonstrated experience writing bids, tenders, EOIs, proposals or similar competitive submissions
- Strong technical writing capability, with the ability to take complex, incomplete or SME-provided information and turn it into clear, compelling responses
- A benefits-driven writing style that goes beyond describing what a client does and clearly articulates the value, outcomes and benefits for the evaluator/customer
- A strong understanding of compliance, evaluation criteria and responding directly to the question being asked
- The ability to work within word and page limits without losing the strength of the response
- Excellent written English and attention to detail
- The ability to work collaboratively with bid managers, SMEs and other contributors, while also being comfortable working independently
- Reliability around deadlines — tender deadlines are generally not negotiable!
Highly regarded
- APMP training, certification or demonstrated familiarity with APMP principles and good-practice bid methodology
- Experience across complex, technical, infrastructure,
facilities management, skilled services, government or other B2B tender environments
- Experience reviewing and improving existing tender content, rather than only writing from scratch
This is subcontract/project-based work, not an employed position. Work will generally be undertaken remotely, with opportunities varying depending on client requirements and submission pipelines.
I’m particularly interested in building relationships with a small number of experienced writers I can work with regularly, rather than creating a large casual freelancer pool.
To Apply
Please send me a brief introduction covering:
- Your specific bid and tender writing experience
- The sectors and types of submissions you have worked on
- Your APMP training/certification, if applicable
- A couple of examples of the type or complexity of bids you have supported and your role in them
- Your general availability/capacity for subcontract work
- Your hourly or typical project rate
- Your LinkedIn profile and/or CV
Please note that general copywriting, marketing or content-writing experience without demonstrated bid/tender experience will not be sufficient for this role.
If this sounds like you, please apply via LinkedIn.
