Who you are

You have experience in writing technical documents and proposals, particularly in the context of public sector tenders. You understand the nuances of government procurement standards and can create compliant and compelling submissions that align with strategic objectives.

You are detail-oriented and can produce repeatable content that enhances future bid submissions.

You possess strong communication skills, enabling you to liaise effectively with technical, legal, and commercial teams. Your writing is clear and persuasive, demonstrating the value, security, and sovereignty of the IT services being proposed.
