Your tender is written. But is it ready to submit?<\/h2>\n

Finishing the first draft isn\u2019t the end of the bidding process.<\/p>\n

Add measurable results, examples or supporting information where relevant.<\/p>\n

Check that names, dates, numbers, staffing commitments and delivery approaches are consistent throughout the submission.<\/p>\n

If social value forms part of the evaluation, make sure commitments are relevant, specific and measurable.<\/p>\n
