How We Take the Stress Out of Tender Submissions

Preparing compelling tender submissions requires a unique blend of strategic thinking, meticulous coordination, and persuasive writing—often within tight timeframes. At New Doors, we specialise in helping organisations in the built environment industry transform the tender process from overwhelming to manageable.
Your Submissions Swiss Army Knife
We function as a focused outsourced team that plugs seamlessly into your business. With over 35 years of combined experience in the construction industry, we don't simply write submissions—we craft winning narratives backed by thorough research and deep sector insight. What sets us apart is that our senior consultants, Alicia Brown and Sara Gross, personally lead each project, handling strategic development and writing ourselves rather than delegating to junior staff. As self-proclaimed tender nerds, we genuinely love the challenge of unpacking complex requirements, developing winning strategies, and transforming technical information into compelling narratives that evaluators want to read.
Flexible Support Scaled to Your Needs
We recognise that every practice is different, and every opportunity demands a tailored approach. Perhaps you're a small firm pursuing your first major tender and need comprehensive end-to-end support—from strategy development through to final typesetting and coordination. Or maybe you're an established practice with strong internal capabilities but need us to handle the most time-consuming writing components while your team focuses on the tender forms.
We can scale our involvement to suit both your practice size and the significance of the opportunity. For smaller EOIs or when budgets are tight, we offer stand-alone packaged services: a strategic 'How to Win' workshop to kick-start your process, a constructive review of past submissions to improve future efforts, or a critical review of your current draft before lodgement. For high-value opportunities where winning is critical, we can drive the entire process—facilitating workshops, conducting research, managing stakeholder coordination, writing all criteria responses, and producing beautifully designed submissions.
Our approach is truly modular. You might engage us for strategic facilitation only, bring us in specifically for writing support on complex criteria, or hand us the entire submission to manage from beginning to end. We can even review your existing submissions systems and help establish better infrastructure for future success. We offer discounts for practices working with us on multiple submissions, making ongoing partnership more accessible.
Strategic Depth and Relationship Building
We bring a proven "how-to-win" process that encompasses comprehensive stakeholder engagement, competitive analysis, and detailed environmental scanning. Rather than relying solely on email exchanges, we build genuine relationships with your team through workshops, phone calls, and direct engagement. This approach allows us to draw out crucial insights, ensure buy-in across teams, and build trust at every level.
Protecting Your Competitive Advantage
We maintain strict confidentiality, never discussing client work or recycling content between organisations. We write in your voice, capturing your unique point of difference authentically.
For organisations seeking to strengthen their tender success rates whilst freeing internal resources, we provide the expertise, coordination, and strategic thinking that turns opportunities into wins—scaled precisely to your needs.
