“We don’t have the resources to bid for all the opportunities we have available.”

“We have a strategically important tender that needs the gold treatment.”

“We have an extremely large tender that will stretch our internal resources.”

“The work that the New Doors team did for us on a complex tender was epic. They led the entire process, guiding the strategy, and planning out the response well in advance. Diligent, organised, super hard working and a committed part of our team, they even worked through the weekend to meet a tight timeline and ensure we had a high quality, completed submission ready and triple checked for issue ahead of time.”

Jeremy McLeod

“Working with New Doors was a breath of fresh air. Their expertise in interpreting key tender issues, their sector knowledge and industry experience, along with their probing questions and interview techniques enabled us, together, to prepare a focused success strategy.”

“It has taken many years and quite a few agencies to find the right fit for DS, and that is what we have found in Alicia and her team at New Doors - the right fit. They are incredibly knowledgeable about government initiatives and requirements for bids. In addition to being talented copywriters, they are excellent at building great working relationships with my entire team. We’ve been working with New Doors for over two years - a testament to the high quality of their work, their commitment and keenness to work with us under tight timelines, and their ongoing contribution to growing DS.”

Peter Shreuder
Managing Director and Architect, DS Architects
“Tender submissions are a critical part of our business, we need the best team involved to put our best foot forward - this is where New Doors come in. They effectively tease out our response strategies via a comprehensive "how to win” workshop, helping align our organisation's unique and relevant characteristics with the project brief. They skillfully develop written responses that are authentic and convincing, and efficiently project manage inputs and production to allow ample time for refinement before the deadline.”
