Tender Review & Proofreading | Impact Guru
Tender proofreading (bid proofreading) is not enough on its own. Our structured evaluator-style review goes beyond typos to improve score-ability, evidence, and clause-level compliance with the tender specification and scoring criteria — whether for social care or NHS frameworks under the Procurement Act 2023. The result: clearer answers, tighter compliance, and fewer avoidable risks.
✅ What We Review (4-Point Appraisal)
- Content accuracy & completeness: identify errors, omissions, or misinterpretations.
- Needs & risk coverage: test whether the answer addresses assessed needs, risks, and outcomes.
- Spec & scoring alignment: clause-by-clause mapping to the tender specification and marking guidance.
- Actionable improvements: practical edits to strengthen quality, coherence, and compliance within the word limit.
We apply the same rigorous structure used by NHS and local-authority evaluators — ensuring your answers read as compliant, evidence-based and safe for award.
📦 What You’ll Receive
- Tracked-Changes draft with line-by-line edits and margin comments (rationale, clause references).
- Clean, submission-ready copy with all agreed edits accepted and headings optimised for scoring.
- Review Report (audit trail) including a compliance crosswalk: Question → Spec clause(s) → Where it’s covered in your answer.
- Action list to close remaining gaps (evidence, KPIs, processes) quickly.
Optional: Social Value refinements and attachment checks (org charts, training matrices, rotas) for consistency with narrative.
🧭 Tender Proofreading vs. Evaluator-Style Review — What’s the Difference?
- Proofreading: grammar, spelling, readability, tone.
- Evaluator-style review (ours): mirrors marking domains; resequences content; inserts proof points (audits, KPIs, timelines, review cycles); shows clause-level coverage; protects high-value words in tight limits.
Outcome: fewer compliance gaps, clearer scoring cues, stronger locality-aware evidence.
🔍 How Our Review Improves Scores
- Score-ready structure: content mirrors the question and scoring domains so assessors can award marks quickly.
- Evidence over assertion: we add practical proof (audits, KPIs, review cadence, roles, timeframes).
- Locality fluency: wording aligned to commissioner language and frameworks.
- Word-count control: we condense duplication and prioritise high-value content within the limit.
- Sector fluency: alignment with NHS assurance domains (governance, safety, workforce, integration, value) and CQC-linked quality frameworks.
🧭 Our Process (Fast & Transparent)
- Scope: share the question(s), specification, word limit and attachments.
- Review: 4-point appraisal with clause-by-clause check; we mark up your draft.
- Implement: Track Changes edits + clean copy prepared.
- Hand-back: Tracked + Clean + Review Report (audit trail).
Turnaround: rapid options available subject to capacity. Share your deadline and we’ll advise the best review window.
📈 Typical Outcomes
- Clearer mapping between needs, risks, workforce capability and outcomes.
- Fewer compliance gaps (timelines, reviews, governance, safeguarding references).
- Stronger, locality-aware evidence with measurable commitments.
- Submission-ready formatting that’s easy for assessors to score.
- Improved alignment with NHS evaluation domains and MAT (Most Advantageous Tender) principles — clarity, evidence and defensibility under the Procurement Act 2023.
🧪 Mini Case Study (Summary)
Social care quality question – framework bid. We re-ordered content to match marking domains, inserted measurable outcomes and governance checkpoints, and replaced generic claims with auditable processes. Result: materially higher quality score and positive award feedback.
Our reviews span both social care and NHS tenders — from supported living frameworks to urgent and primary care call-offs — always focusing on clarity, safety and measurable outcomes.
❓ Tender Proofreading FAQs
What is tender proofreading?
In social care and NHS contexts, “tender proofreading” means preparing answers so they are clear, compliant and score-ready — not just typo-free. We combine language fixes with evaluator-style checks against the specification and scoring guidance.
Is tender proofreading different from bid proofreading?
The terms are often used interchangeably. We treat both as an assessor-focused review that maps your answers to clauses, evidence and scoring domains.
Can you implement changes directly?
Yes. Most clients ask us to apply improvements and return a clean, submission-ready version alongside the tracked draft.
Will you keep our materials confidential?
Absolutely — NDAs welcome. Files are handled securely and used only for your review.
