THE SUSTAINABILITY TENDER RESPONSE CHECKLIST

Answering questions about your sustainability projects could be the difference between winning and losing a tender. However, knowing how much detail to provide, which evidence is relevant and how to respond when work is still in progress is not always straightforward.

Our free Sustainability Tender Response Checklist gives you an implementable process for preparing answers based on evidence that reflect what your business can offer.

ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY WITH CONFIDENCE

A tender may ask about your carbon emissions, water use, nature, waste, environmental policies, supply chain practices or how you intend to deliver a contract.

The difficulty in writing tender-winning answers goes far beyond having sustainability activity to talk about. Your response needs to answer the specific question being asked, meet the buyer's requirements and be supported by relevant evidence.

This checklist takes you through the process step by step, helping you identify what the buyer needs and prepare a response that is clear, accurate and substantiated.
