Bit of an obvious tip
today but it is just as important as any of the others. Whatever you do, check how the bid has to be
submitted! I have had instances in the
past where people have not checked until the day before or the day of
submission and found that they were about to submit it incorrectly.
Firstly, check how the bid
needs to be submitted. Is it email,
online portal, hard copy, CDs or a combination of them? If it is hard copy / CDs I strongly suggest
you plan for all the printing and packaging to be done at least a day before
submission, if not sooner. Figure out
you delivery options – will you it by hand, courier or royal mail?
For online portals, test
the portal as soon as you can. This will
give you an indication of what you can do it, e.g. pictures, diagrams,
attachments, etc. Take a note of the
word / character limit for each question as well. Many portals will cut off any words /
characters over the limit and leave you in a bit of bother if you are
submitting it close to the deadline.
