Tenders & Business Proposals

Tenders and business proposals provide a unique opportunity to secure lucrative new business.

A successful tender must not only ensure the final document complies with submission requirements, it must be well written and presented for the intended audience.
We’ve have been crafting complex tender submissions for major infrastructure companies for over 10 years. Projects vary from developing branded and bespoke designs for tenders that are valued at tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars.
We focus on creating unique, professional tender documents, which mould your ideas, words and images into a high quality, cohesive document in keeping with your corporate objectives and guidelines.
Our tender submission packages include everything from writing and editing, full graphic design including photography, illustration, diagrams and charts, through to content management, videography, production of binders, tabs and external packaging and everything in between.
We appreciate that the key stakeholders within your operation understand your business better than anyone, and we can work as an integral part of your team to meet your tight deadlines.
