Everyone seems to have a lot of time on their hands today.

To be fair, that was quite a funny second reply!

Treat it like an exam question.

Answer the questions that are asked. dont leave sections out as you will then score 0 on that section.

provide evidence like copies of your procedures as appendices,

give sufficient detail, dont assume anything but dont blather

If you know your spelling or grammar isnt perfect get someone to read it for you, it might get read by a pedant.

It's reasonably simple. Just follow the instructions in the clients RFP and then make sure your legal department review any commitments you make.

It is not illegal for someone to tender a response for you .... but I doubt you will find someone willing to do it on a "No Win, No Fee" basis.

If you did find someone willing to do it on those terms then you would need to review their response very carefully as you might find yourself "Winning" a support contract to provide 24x7x365 at a bargain rate of £5 per hour.
