How to win furniture tenders

The use of generic content or solutions which aren’t shown to be well thought through will not be well received. It's important to demonstrate to the buyer that you understand and have accounted for their bespoke requirements or site-specific challenges – crucial when you may have been offered a site visit.

Maintaining pace with technological advancements and innovative solutions is a good way to stand out from your competitors, consider what research and development you have done or could be doing to keep one step ahead.

Another way to differentiate yourselves is by making links between the value and pricing. All too often, these elements are missed but if you have secured an excellent deal for parts, materials or items of furniture, this may be a crucial way to show added value in the quality submission.
