STRATEGIC CONSULTING FOR BIDS, TENDERS AND GRANTS
Tender and Grant Writing
Strategic, compelling content aligned with your goals and growth strategies.
tender and grant writing
An opportunity to grow your organisation.
A tender response or grant application is more than a document — it's an opportunity to grow your organisation. The words need to land. The evidence needs to convince. The voice needs to feel unmistakably yours.
Therisano writes responses that build trust, confidence, and belief in what you offer. Strategic content, aligned with your goals, captured in your voice, and backed by evidence that brings your value to life.
in practice
What this looks like in practice
Strong tender and grant writing starts well before the first word is on the page. We work with you to understand the challenge behind the opportunity, identify the win themes, and plan the response so every section earns its place.
Then we write. Content planning sits alongside working sessions with your subject matter experts to draw out the detail, evidence and proof points. A single voice edit brings consistency and clarity across the whole response.
What goes out the door reads like one person wrote it — even when multiple contributors shaped it. A cohesive response linking your solution, its benefits, and the value it creates to the challenge behind the opportunity.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE
The full scope of written response.
- Response templates, structure and planning

- Grammatical and single voice edit
THE RIGHT FIT
You might recognise your situation here.
You have a tender or grant response that needs experienced writing.
You know what you do well, but turning that into the language an evaluator wants to hear is a different skill. Therisano writes the response from scratch or works with your draft content, sharpening it into a submission that reads with the credibility your work deserves.
Your response has multiple contributors and needs a single voice.
When a CEO, an operations manager, and a subject matter expert have each written a section, the response can read like three different documents. We work with all contributors to capture their content, then bring everything into one consistent voice that flows from cover to close.
You're applying for a grant, not a tender.
Grant writing is different from tender writing — it needs to align tightly with the funder's strategic intent, demonstrate measurable impact, and tell a story that hits beyond compliance. We write grants that resonate with funders, not just meet their criteria.

Nicole's expertise was instrumental in our success. She consistently delivered tendering and program design services with excellence, even under the tightest deadlines.
I loved sharing our stories but feel you had the truly hard job of bringing everything together cohesively — and you did wonderfully at it. Thank you.
THE CHALLENGE
THE CHALLENGE
- A facilities management provider in the WARR sector needed tender writing support for contract retention, growth and expansion
- Highly competitive re-tenders required clear differentiation, customer-specific positioning and strong evidence
- Some re-tenders required strategic positioning to address prior delivery challenges
- Complex service models, proof points and operational examples needed to be translated into compelling, evaluator-ready content
- Service management plans and evidence documents needed to show capability, value and delivery confidence
THE SOLUTION
- Developed strategic, customer-specific tender responses aligned with goals and growth strategies
- Built each response around the customer’s unique needs, priorities and evaluation drivers
- Reframed evidence, proof points and service examples to demonstrate operational capability, service quality and contract delivery experience
- Developed service management plans and supporting evidence documents to strengthen compliance, credibility and evaluator confidence
- Since 2024, supported an 87.5% success rate, securing contracts valued at over $150 million, including four highly competitive re-tenders, and expansion across two states
Nicole has an exceptional ability to distil complex information into clear, cohesive and persuasive submissions. From our first conversation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of our sector and the intricacies of our service model. She asked the right questions, listened deeply, and challenged us to think more strategically about how we position ourselves.
Working with Nicole is like adding a strategic thinker to your executive team. She does far more than write, she brings structure, insight and clarity to every stage of the process. Her approach is ordered yet highly collaborative, and she truly understands how to communicate the value of people-focused services.
Nicole has become a trusted partner and someone we would work with again in a heartbeat.
