Is this you?

We hear these things from Stoke businesses every week

  • A tender has just landed and the deadline is closer than you'd like

  • You submitted a PQQ on your own and failed it, not because you couldn't do the job, but because of how a question was worded

  • You keep losing bids and aren't sure why

  • A major contract is coming up for renewal and you can't afford to lose it

  • Your team is stretched and you need expert support to lift the quality of your submission

  • You want to start winning public sector contracts but don't know where to begin

Why Wordsmith

What makes us different from a bid agency

  • You work directly with Joanne - No account managers or handoffs. The bid writer you speak to is the one who writes your submission, every time.

  • Honest advice, not just writing - We will tell you if an opportunity is not right for you before you commit time and resource to it. Honest bid/no-bid advice is part of the service.

  • Proven results in your region - We have helped Stoke-on-Trent businesses achieve exceptional results, including a perfect score of 40 out of 40 on quality for a local construction company. Results like that are not luck, they are the product of a structured, evidence-led process.

  • A structured process, not a scramble - Six clear stages from brief to submission. Bid writing as a managed process, so you always know what is happening and when your response will be ready.

“Joanne has been an absolute asset to our tendering and business development process. She has a strong ability to quickly understand complex construction scopes and translate them into clear, well-structured, and compelling bid responses that score well against weighted quality criteria. Most importantly, she adds real value beyond just writing, offering strategic insight, constructive feedback, and practical suggestions that genuinely strengthen our bids.”
— Dan Edge, Strata Windows, Stoke-on-Trent
