How to Gather Evidence to Strengthen Future Bids
📊 Why Evidence Matters in Tendering
Strong tenders are rooted in clear, credible evidence. Commissioners increasingly want specifics: examples, data, feedback, and outcomes. Providers who maintain strong evidence banks can prepare bids faster, respond more effectively, and demonstrate their impact with confidence.
✅ Key Types of Evidence to Maintain
- Performance Data — Outcomes, KPIs, audit results, and service impact reports.
- Service User Feedback — Testimonials, surveys, compliments, and case studies.
- Staff Development — Training records, supervision logs, and workforce achievements.
- Social Value Impact — Community initiatives, employment stats, sustainability actions.
- Partnership Outcomes — Collaborative projects, shared success stories, innovation.
💡 How to Organise Your Evidence
- Maintain a central evidence library (digital or cloud-based)
- Update quarterly to keep content current and relevant
- Label clearly by theme (quality, safety, outcomes, inclusion)
- Prepare short, ready-to-use case studies across key service areas
- Ensure governance processes verify accuracy and consent
