ABSTRACT
Appendices are used for supporting material which, if incorporated within the body of the bid, would make it poorly structured or too long and detailed. Intelligent use of appendices can convert an average submission into a winning proposal. The appendices can sometimes be used to include information that would take the main text over the word or page limit. When deciding what to place within the appendix, consider the reader or evaluator. The panel showing the benefits to the client will reinforce the relevance of the appendix content to both the project and the client. When putting content into the appendix remember to make it relevant and bespoke. As long as the information is relevant and adds to the readers' submission, then place all the supportive information within an appendix. They need to be sure that the bid permits additional supporting information to be included within an appendix.
