How to Use AI for First Drafts — But Not Final Submissions in Social Care Tenders
Why First Drafts Are the Right Place for AI
AI tools like ChatGPT can quickly generate first drafts of content — giving your bid team a solid starting point. This can be especially useful for repetitive tasks, early ideas, or framing standard approaches.
However, AI-generated drafts must always be reviewed, rewritten, and aligned with:
- Specification requirements
- Your organisation’s tone and values
- Local intelligence, service models, and lived experience
- Compliance with regulations and legal standards
Risks of Over-Relying on AI
Submissions written solely by AI, without human input, risk:
- Generic content that lacks specificity
- Errors or outdated references
- Failure to reflect local context or commissioning priorities
- Responses that feel impersonal or vague
Commissioners want to see your organisation’s voice, experience, and real-world impact — not AI-generated filler.
How to Integrate AI Effectively
- Use AI to overcome writer’s block or create early drafts faster.
- Treat AI output as raw material, not final answers.
- Ensure experienced bid writers refine every response for accuracy, tone, and alignment.
- Use AI ethically — never pass off unreviewed AI work as professional expertise.
