How to Showcase Your Service Effectively in Tenders Without Overclaiming
🔍 Why This Matters
Commissioners want to see confidence, not exaggeration. Overclaiming — promising things you can’t realistically deliver — can undermine trust, credibility, and your tender score. Strong submissions showcase your strengths honestly and align them to the specification.
📋 How to Showcase Your Service Effectively
- Be specific about your approach, processes, and outcomes
- Use real examples to demonstrate impact and quality
- Reference your governance, audits, and quality assurance measures
- Align your strengths to the commissioner’s priorities and demographic
- Avoid sweeping statements you can’t evidence (“always,” “never,” “best in the sector”)
💡 Examples of Good Practice
Instead of claiming you deliver “outstanding care,” describe your supervision processes, quality checks, and outcomes that support this claim. Focus on practical evidence commissioners can trust.
