📝 How to Answer Social Care Tender Questions with Confidence (Even When They’re Complex)
🔍 Why Confidence Matters in Tender Writing
Commissioners can spot uncertainty in tender submissions. Phrases like “we aim to” or “we try to” weaken confidence in your ability to deliver. Even complex questions need clear, structured, confident answers to score highly.
📋 How to Approach Complex Questions
- Break It Down: Identify each part of the question. Structure your answer to address each element clearly.
- Focus on Evidence: Use examples, data, and outcomes to demonstrate how your service delivers.
- Use Method Statements: These help explain processes clearly and reassure commissioners of consistency.
- Keep It Simple: Don’t overcomplicate. Plain English, clear headings, and logical flow help evaluators award marks.
- Write with Authority: Show what you do, not what you hope to do. Be specific, confident, and direct.
💡 Common Mistakes to Avoid
Waffling, vague language, or writing around the question. Commissioners want clear answers, not guesswork.
