5 star service! I called Sue at 5pm on a Thursday evening after she was recommended by a client of mine, Sue went straight into action as I had left this to the last minute and the Tender was due on the following Tuesday. Sue gave me a quote up front and from there the process was seamless and efficient, she had her team assist her in putting together a professional looking tender at the drop of a hat and I can't thank her and her team enough. I highly recommend Bidbuddy and will be using the service for my next tender.
Fantastic service by Sue and her team, we have complete confidence that we have submitted the best bid possible. Thank you.
Assisting us through our first ever substantial tender with multiple complexities, the BidBuddy team were excellent - Sue has amassed a high quality team and are supportive whilst leading you by the process and the end result was a credit to all. Thanks BidBuddy.
The team at BidBuddy were amazing, managing to take on my last minute request with a quick turn around and success in the bid.

From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly supportive. They guided us through every step of the process, ensuring our application was not only comprehensive but also compelling. What stood out the most was their deep understanding of the grant landscape and their ability to tailor our application to meet the specific criteria of the grant. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference, and we couldn't have achieved this success without them.

BidBuddy went over and above to help out with our tender. Professional, easy to deal with, very thorough and communicated during the whole process. I would absolutely recommend Sue and her team to anyone looking at a professional company to write their tender. Thanks again Sue and Team.
Have worked with Sue and her team several times over the past 7 years. Professional, communicates well and the work is always first rate. Couldn't recommend them higher.
BidbBuddy stood out from the other companies that we approached. Others gave the impression of simply wanting your money. BidBuddy gave exceptional service for a very competitive fee. Highly recommend them.

At BidBuddy, we don’t just write tenders — we craft winning strategies that secure big opportunities.
Trusted for over 20 years by businesses across Australia to deliver standout submissions that get results.
Nobody can guarantee you will win when you submit your tender or proposal.
We will ensure you are better prepared, better informed, and better supported while we are preparing your response.
We don’t just push your words around and make them look pretty.
Our insights become your advantage. We write you better words.
Short answer is “probably”. We have written successful tenders in a wide range of industries, including health, construction, resources, government, industrial services, hospitality, you name it. Our international experience extends across a number of countries.
The longer answer is “it doesn’t matter”. While some think it does, the evaluation criteria are common across all industries, and there is a structure and format to all responses. We get the technical details from you, and transcribe them into responses that sell you best. Whatever industry you are in.
It depends on your budget, and the value of the tender you are responding to. In some cases, the opportunity isn’t high-enough value to justify paying a professional. So we recommend that you instead invest 2 hours and watch our free course.
Our service offerings can be found here. We can coach you, do it for you, or clean your document up at the end. We provide end-to-end support, from initial strategy development to final submission and post-submission follow-up. We analyse the tender, help you figure out if you qualify, work out your value proposition, and coach you on how to complete the pricing if it is a little daunting for you.
Because we love it when our clients win, we go the extra mile to give you the best chance of doing so.
If you would like instead to have a discussion, call us, or book a free no strings attached consultation at a time convenient to you.
Ask around and see who uses who. Check out their referees. Talk to them. Select the one you feel the most confident in.
While you can’t ask for samples of their work, you can check out their website. If it is boring, lifeless and dull, chances are their tenders will be equally boring, lifeless and dull.
Don’t be fooled by “qualifications”. Good tender writing relies on a wealth of experience and talent, not just education and skills.
This is a business where you definitely get what you pay for. Don’t fall for the cheapest, as you can be assured they will not be able to spend the time necessary to do anything more than an adequate job. All they will do is take your content and format it nicely, and maybe fix up your grammar. Actually, no, on second thoughts, they’ll ask ChatGPT to do that for them.
You can check out our our actual feedback here.
We have tested ChatGPT and other large language models.
Don’t get me wrong: ChatGPT is good to get yourself started when you have absolutely no idea what to write. It gives you a great structure, that it took from somewhere /someone else, and maybe not with their permission.
But to suggest that it can write laser focused on-point persuasive content specifically about you is a dangerous assumption. It reads really well to people who don’t understand how tenders are evaluated, and what content is required to actually produce a winning bid, so it’s easy to think that ChatGPT will give you everything you need.
It doesn’t.
What ChatGPT lacks, and will always lack, is discernment. It cannot create new, it can only repurpose already referenced material, which is at least a couple of years old. It tells you what to write, in a generic way, but doesn’t tell you how to write it. It cannot write persuasive copy. And it often misses the mark alltogether.
We don’t use ChatGPT other than the occasional tool for three reasons:
(1) everybody else will, so their tender responses will all take on the same grey hue in a competitive setting;
(2) we find it slows us down. It’s faster to write the content from scratch than it is to tell ChatGPT about your business; and
(2) we don’t need to. We know what we are doing and ChatGPT doesn’t cut it. We know, because we have road tested it.
We don’t give a price out over the telephone, nor do we quote a job unseen.
If you are really interested, talk to us first, and send us a copy of the tender you are interested in bidding for.
If you would like a ball-park budget estimate, check out our calculator to work out how much to set aside and what is “too much” to spend on getting your tender written (i.e. the point at which your costs exceed your desired profit).
You will, if you get shop around, get a wide range of prices. You will get what you pay for. A simple tender will take us between 30 and 40 hours, and we work very fast. If you get a very cheap quote then it’s from someone who isn’t well-qualified, or they aren’t putting the time into making your tender the best in the pile.
Or, (and this is the most likely) both, because they don’t understand what good should look like.
Writing a good tender response takes many, many hours of work. For first-timers with a simple tender, at least 30-40 hours, and more if we are looking at a large, complex job.
So the short answer is “yes, probably”, because we work together as a team, and specialise in short turnaround times.

Ever seen what lawyers charge to represent people in court where anything can (and does) happen? Do most people represent themselves? No. Because they know they would have a fool for a client.
You aren’t paying us to concoct a story that will persuade the buyer. You are paying us to represent your story in its best possible light.
Check our our bid/no bid calculator to assess your chances. Don’t use “hope marketing”. If you don’t have the story, don’t bid.
And do talk to us about flexible arrangements.
We can for a fee. If that doesn’t work for you let us refer you to our good friends Australian Tenders. Sign up for a $100 discount code to help you on your journey. And don’t forget to come back to discuss your opportunity when you find it.
Absolutely! Local, State and Federal government tenders are a specialty for us. We have substantial government procurement experience, which means we understand the meaning behind the questions so we can align your answers to achieving the goals of the government entity.
