Answering Sustainability Questions in Tenders and Grants

Q: Why are sustainability and social value questions so important?

Public and private sector buyers want to work with suppliers who align with their values and regulatory commitments. Sustainability and social value questions now carry significant scoring weight in tenders and can often make the difference between winning and losing.

Q: Can you help with a single tender response?

Yes. Whether you just need support with one sustainability question or you want a bank of template answers to reuse across multiple tenders and grants, we can help.

Q: Can you do our environmental calculations?

Yes, we can provide a range of calculation options, from recommending free tools to us calculating your footprint in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

Answering Sustainability Questions in Tenders and Grants

When it comes to bids and funding applications, sustainability matters.

We write clear, credible sustainability responses that meet tender and grant requirements — and position your business as a stronger, more competitive choice.

More tenders and grants now include detailed sustainability, ESG and social value questions. For many businesses, these are often the hardest parts of the application, but we turn these questions from barriers into opportunities that strengthen your bid.

What if my company doesn’t have any sustainability initiatives?

We hear this a lot. But in reality, most businesses are already doing more than they think. Whether it’s using a renewable energy supplier, educating employees on reducing waste or putting in place a travel policy that discourages high-carbon transport (like planes), these are all examples of environmental action. The first Sustainability Report is always a benchmark, against which improvement can be made over time.
