What tender support costs, explained without the runaround
Most tender consultants will not talk about money until you are on a call. We would rather you understood how this is priced before you pick up the phone. Below is how we quote, what moves the number, and the four ways firms engage us.
Tender support starts at $2,500 + GSTa floor, not a quote
The short answer
A starting price first. A fixed quote after we read the tender.
Tender support starts at $2,500 + GST. That is a floor, not a quote. Effort, not contract value, sets the final number. Two tenders of the same contract value can differ by a factor of five in effort depending on returnables, deadline and compliance load.
The starting price tells you whether we are in your range. Then send us the documents. Within 24 hours you get a go or no-go view and a fixed, written price for the scope we recommend, free. If we think you should not bid, we say so, and that advice costs you nothing.

Pricing FAQs
How much do tender writers charge in Australia?
Tender support starts at $2,500 + GST. That is a floor, not a quote. Effort sets the final number, not contract value, and two tenders of the same contract value can differ by a factor of five in effort depending on returnables, deadline and compliance load. The starting price tells you whether we are in your range. We read the documents and issue a fixed written price within 24 hours, free, before you commit.
Do you charge hourly or fixed?
Fixed for defined scopes such as a submission, a methodology or a bid library build. Hourly or day rate only where scope genuinely cannot be defined up front, and then with an agreed cap.
Do you take a percentage of the contract if we win?
Never a percentage. On our win win model there is a success fee, but it is a fixed dollar amount agreed in writing before we start, and it is capped at an agreed maximum no matter how large the contract is. You can also choose the fixed fee model and pay nothing on award. Either way the go or no-go advice is free, so we can tell you honestly when a tender is not worth entering.
Is the tender review really free?
Yes. Send the RFT and you get a go or no-go view within 24 hours, plus a fixed price for the work if it is worth pursuing. There is no charge and no obligation.
What is the cheapest way to work with you?
Start with one piece. A single methodology, an estimate, or a review of a draft you have already written is the lowest cost way in. Tell us about your tender and we will give you the starting price in writing, with no obligation.
