🧠 Feedback Is Only Valuable If You Use It
You’ve got your bid back from review. There are comments, tracked changes, and suggestions across key sections.
Now what? This is the moment where the impact happens — if you respond strategically. Many providers treat feedback as a tick-box, but in competitive domiciliary care bids or learning disability tenders, how you act on reviewer comments can make or break your score.
🔁 It’s Not Just “Accept All Changes”
Good feedback is a conversation. Don’t just accept everything — understand it. Ask:
- Why did the reviewer suggest this edit?
- Does this clarify or strengthen our evidence?
- Is there a better way to word it while keeping our voice?
Engaging with the feedback helps you make active, confident decisions about what to change — and what to keep. Our proofreading and review service is designed to support that process, not override your bid.
📈 Learning That Carries Forward
Some of the most valuable reviewer insights go beyond the current tender:
- Common weaknesses in tone or structure
- Overuse of vague statements or policies
- Missed opportunities to showcase outcomes
Keep a note of these patterns. They’ll strengthen not just this bid — but every future one, whether you’re preparing a home care submission or a complex framework tender.
