Madeleine du Preez

As an experienced bid writer and a member of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals, I provide tender assistance and bid management services to busy entrepreneurs and business owners worldwide. 

I have in-depth knowledge and working experience of "both sides of the fence" having started my career as a Procurement Officer, responsible for supplier selection, tender adjudication and contract management - which means that I know what the Buyer wants and why they ask specific questions. 

Since 2012, I have successfully assisted various companies from a variety of industries in writing persuasive winning tenders and proposals by providing the following services:

1. Tender evaluation  

Evaluation of previous tenders to identify gaps and weaknesses.

Provision of a comprehensive report, detailing specific suggestions and alternative approaches to minimize perceived weaknesses and improve chances of success.

2. Tender assistance and copy writing

You provide the information.

I re-write the content using a neuromarketing approach to position you as the preferred option by highlighting the risks to the buyer of what could happen if they use anybody else.

You review the first draft.

Before submission I do a final review to ensure your tender

complies with all the requirements and that you submit a professional, competitive bid.

3. Bid library compilation

Although every tender document is different and requires a bespoke approach, some content is requested time and again. I create and prepare a generic library of templates and re-usable content to save you precious time when writing the next tender.
