Construction Bid Writing

Our client, a leading multi-national construction company, engaged Kittle Group to support their bid to construct the Monklands Replacement Project (MRP). NHS Lanarkshire’s exciting vision was to rebuild the ageing University Hospital Monklands on a new site at Wester Moffat, east of Airdrie. This new, state-of-the-art hospital would support the future clinical model and NHS Lanarkshire’s healthcare strategy to divert care from inpatient treatment.

Our team supported the client by working closely with subject matter experts to accurately capture their solutions and articulate them in responses, on highly technical topics such as site setup and access, common data environments, and quality assurance processes.

Through our client’s review process, the team implemented feedback from senior proposal managers and subject matter experts to draw out their solution’s key benefits and added value. Our writers also got involved in copyediting and proofreading bid responses, attachments, and CVs.

Our client successfully won the £750m contract to construct the hospital.

One of our repeat clients, a leading, multi-national Tier 1 engineering and construction contractor, approached Kittle to support their ITT into the Ministry of Justice. The bid was to deliver additional houseblocks at existing operational prisons and consisted of three different lots.

To support this project, we provided a team of three, with one Senior Bid Writer and two Bid Writers. Together, they progressed 19 responses right through from the interviewing and answer planning stages, to drafting and final client reviews. This required close collaboration with the client’s bid team and their subject matter experts, some of which were struggling to articulate their technical expertise. Our writers therefore held knowledge-sharing interviews with them to get the perfect level of detail and write the content up in plain English.

Our extensive construction experience and industry-leading writing meant that our client was successful in their £92m bid into the Ministry of Justice, winning all three lots.

Our client, a Tier 1 Construction Company, was bidding to be appointed as one of seven Strategic Alliance Partners to deliver the £5.1bn Defence Estates Optimisation Programme. The framework was to construct and refurbish single living and service family accommodation, as well as provide a range of operational, educational and technical facilities across the Ministry of Defence (MoD) estate.

We provided two writers to support our client, with one writer leading the bid and maintaining client communications, and the second writer assisting at the drafting and quality assurance stages. Our writers collaborated with the client’s technical team, reviewed responses with senior individuals to ensure their innovative solutions were coherently conveyed, and remained responsive to the client’s security and specialist needs.

Our client was successful and won a place on the framework, valued at £5.1bn
