Why Bid Proofreading is the Easiest Way to Gain Tender Points in Social Care
A fresh pair of eyes can reveal weaknesses you didn’t even know were there. In social care tendering, that can be the difference between a win and a polite rejection. Our bid proofreading and tender review service exists to catch those scoring gaps — before your submission goes in front of commissioners.
When you’re deep in the bid writing process, it’s easy to become ‘blind’ to what’s missing. You know your service inside-out, so your brain fills in the gaps — even if the written answer doesn’t. That’s why professional reviewers approach your responses like a commissioner would: with fresh eyes and no prior knowledge.
Here’s what a tender review catches:
- Missed elements from the question or specification
- Vague claims with no measurable evidence
- Policy-sounding answers that lack real-world examples
- Passive or defensive tone that undermines confidence
- Formatting and structure issues that make scoring harder
This isn’t just about grammar. It’s about maximising your score. Every tender has a marking scheme, and the reviewer’s job is to map your answer to it. That means checking whether your evidence is strong enough, your language is active and persuasive, and your examples are specific to the commissioning priorities.
The timing matters. A tender review works best when it’s done with enough time to make meaningful changes. That’s why we recommend booking your review at least a week before the submission deadline, even if your draft isn’t perfect yet.
Next step? If you’ve got a bid in progress, don’t leave scoring potential on the table. Our tender review and proofreading service is designed for social care providers who want to submit with confidence — and give commissioners every reason to award them top marks.
