Winning work shouldn't mean losing weeks.

Tender documents are long, the questions are specific and the deadlines don't move. Most small business owners end up writing responses late at night, on top of running the business.

I take the pressure off. I help you understand what the buyer is really asking for, gather the right evidence, get your pricing and financials in order, and write a response that sounds like you at your best.

Clear prices, no surprises

As much or as little help as you need.

  • Tender Watch $350 / month I keep watch on government, council and business tender portals for work that fits you, and send a shortlist every week with my honest take on each one.
  • Tender Snapshot $250 / tender A plain-English summary of one tender: what the buyer wants, the key dates, what you'd need to provide and whether it's worth going for.
  • Tender Response from $1,500 I manage the whole response with you, from kick-off meeting to final check. A fixed quote for each tender, so you know the cost up front.
  • Win Bonus $500 Only if you win. Charged once the buyer awards you the contract. If you don't win, you don't pay it.

All prices include GST. Sign up to Tender Watch for 12 months and save 10%.

How it works

Four steps to submit.

  1. 1 Kick-off meeting We read the tender together and work through a checklist of everything the response will need.
  2. 2 Plan and gather You get a clear list of what I need from you, and a timeline that works back from the closing date.
  3. 3 Write and refine I draft your response and refine it with you until it reads clearly and answers every question.
  4. 4 Review and submit A final check against every requirement, then you approve and submit, with time to spare.
