This is an interview with Jason from The Tender Team about what is needed these days to win government or council tenders.  This is super valuable for any tree services business looking to get some more constant work flow for your business. Here are the questions Jason answered in the interview:   1. Before we get started if you could give us a little bit of background about yourself Doug and your experience writing tenders for tree maintenance.   2. What’s the competition like going for these tenders?   3. What do you think are the 3 top things councils /government look when assessing a tender? ( Is it plant and equipment, safety standards, experience? …all of the above_   4. How important is the price? Do council go for the cheaper tenders?   5. If I am a tree business in Australia and wanted a government tender, but all I have done up to this point is private work, what are the sort of things I need to get in order before even thinking about applying for a tender.   6. Why would someone use a tender writer such as yourself over going in alone?   7. What does it cost for tender writing when using a professional company such as yours?   8. What would you say is the average hit rate? (For example if you submit for 10 tenders over a 1 year period, would you expect to get 1 or 2?? or does it depend?)  https://www.gotreequotes.com.au/podcast/https://thetenderteam.com.au/
