Extrn does not assist with bid writing for two main reasons. First, as our service is offered to all, including competing companies, we want to avoid any conflict of interest. Extrn maintains distance from its clients’ tenders to uphold impartiality. Secondly, Extrn has decided to focus our resources on contract search for our clients rather than direct response to tenders. We do, however, provide free general coaching on writing a submission. Additionally, we often collaborate with our clients to identify relevant points in notices that may escape the proposal writer. Our collaboration centers primarily on identifying and understanding opportunities, leaving the preparation of submissions to our clients.
