Our Education & Training Model Answers
From our analysis of over 4,050 E&T tender questions, we recorded a clear pattern of repetition – most buyers want to know the same things about bidders, such as their approach to meeting local needs, learner journeys, and social value.
Our E&T model answers condense winning features from these bids, ensuring you answer tender questions with the best content possible.
The Value of Our Model Answers
Our model answer packages will save you time and costs whilst growing your profit. They are approximately 3x faster than conventional bid writing services, based on client experience.
If you were winning 3/10 bids, you will now win 9/30 bids with the same overhead, due to faster production.
Clients switching to our model answers have also experienced a 31% increase in bid success on average. Those winning 9/30 bids now win 12/30 bids.
With no change in resource and price, you can go from 3 contract wins to 12 contract wins.
