What does bid proofreading include for social care tenders?

We check clarity, consistency, and compliance; ensure each question is fully answered; remove duplication or non-compliant wording; and identify where extra evidence (KPIs, audits, case studies) will lift scores. All changes are provided with Track Changes and margin notes.

How fast is the turnaround?

Typically within two working days from receipt of the full draft and specification. For urgent deadlines, contact us to confirm capacity.

How is a tender review different from proofreading?

Proofreading is a language check. A tender review tests alignment to the specification and scoring criteria, restructures answers for easier marking, and recommends additional evidence or localisation to improve marks.

Do you rewrite answers if needed?

Yes. We can move from review to rewrite where appropriate, strengthening weak sections and building in evidence, local context, and a clearer narrative.

Bid Proofreading & Tender Review | Social Care Experts

Bid Proofreading for Social Care — beyond typos. We check clarity, consistency, and compliance so every response is easy to score and free from avoidable risk. If you need deeper support, our tender review assesses answers against the specification and scoring criteria to lift marks.

This isn’t just a spellcheck. It’s a structured second opinion designed to improve scores before you submit.

✅ What’s Included in Our Tender Review

Verify alignment with the tender specification and scoring criteria
Ensure each question is fully answered (no sub‑points missed)
Assess structure, tone, clarity, and the right level of detail
Remove duplication, vague claims, and non‑compliant wording
Identify opportunities to strengthen evidence (KPIs, audits, case studies)

We return a fully marked‑up document using Track Changes and clear reviewer comments, so you can improve fast without rewriting from scratch.

📈 Why This Isn’t “Just Proofreading”

Proofreading checks spelling and grammar. Our review checks whether your bid is likely to score well — and what needs to change if it isn’t.

We challenge answers that read like policies rather than live services
We localise generic content to the commissioner’s context
We surface passive language and abstract claims that weaken impact
We flag misinterpreted questions or partial answers

In short, we review against the specification and scoring guide, not just the English.

📦 What You’ll Receive

One fully marked‑up draft with Track Changes and margin notes
A clear action list to close gaps and add evidence
Optional walkthrough call (time permitting)
Fast turnaround — typically within 2 working days

Every review is tailored to your service, voice, and the tender’s exact requirements.
