Hire the Best Proposal Writers
in South Africa

I have worked for large service provider organizations throughout my working life. I started out in the technical area and then worked my way up through various levels of management up to a divisional head. I was responsible for managing teams and working closely with all areas of the business including technical, financial, sales, marketing and legal. As part of my roles, a key activity was liaising with clients up to CEO level. Our clients varied from medium to large corporates including Financial Institutes, Retail, and Mobile Communications companies etc. My key areas of specialty that I would like to offer include: • Proposal development – RFI, RFP, RFQ and unsolicited proposals • IT Managed Services – management, operational, processes & procedures, methodologies (sales cycle, implementations, transitional projects (employees & services), client engagement • Contract and SLA assistance. I headed up a division specifically tasked with the development and management of proposals and responses to RFxs and creating appealing and compelling PowerPoint presentations. Today Artificial Intelligence is being used extensively for the producing of proposals. However, unless it is used for the development of repetitive standard content and solutions, it should not be seen as a replacement for human expertise, strategic and creative thinking, and client specific solutions that deliver compelling, ethical, and cost-effective proposals that build trust and achieve desired outcomes. Responding to RFxs, and producing of proposals, may necessitate submission of questions or clarifications of client requirements, research, and coordination across multiple departments or external service providers. Development of cost-effective solutions, also come into play. I HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE. Even though the bulk has been in the IT industry I have assisted various industries whilst working on Upwork. Over the past eight years I have been providing services, remotely through Upwork, to companies in Australia, UK, Singapore, USA, Africa, Saudi Arabia and Canada. These services included all areas of Services (catering for diverse industries), such as pre-sales, responses to RFxs, proposals, costing models, creating presentations, development of operational and service sales documentation, service catalogs and business plans, methodologies etc.

With a degree in journalism and over two decades of experience working in the branding and media industry, I know what it takes to listen - and then convey that message appropriately. I am pragmatic, efficient, work well on deadlines, and am readily available for work. I would be a rich man if I'd earned a penny for every time someone has told me "that's a good idea". I have spent the last 18 months working as a bid writer for UK-based management consultancy whose clients include global lottery, charity and railroad companies. As such I have recent experience in preparing RFP submissions. I am not shy of any writing or editing work, and additionally have experience in the medical field as an addiction counsellor. I have worked as journalist and columnist for years for SA newspapers and magazines, specializing in leadership, arts and entertainment, and the green sector. I'm curious about the world and always eager to learn new things. I have published over ten books in South Africa and am highly proficient in copy writing, research, editing, and project conceptualization. I'm passionate about sport and music, and I read a lot. There was a time in my life when I was a famous satirist, or iconoclast. I made a T shirt at university that satirized the Carling Beer Black Label logo (it read "Black Labour, White Guilt") and I got sued by them (SABMiller) and it went on to set international legal precedent in the Constitutional Court with freedom of expression trumping trademark protection. As such I am well versed in branding and marketing nuance, and am au fait with legalese and can process high volumes of complex legal documents, distilling them into simple, digestible opinions. Recent proof of this (for me at least) was when I graduated cum laude from UCT's Psychiatry Department with a counseling degree in 2018. I was able to study full-time for two years, while still being a full-time parent who is trying to make financial ends meet. I have a wicked sense of humour and still make funny T shirts (www dot laughitoff dot co dot za). I know my em-dashes from my en-dashes. I enjoy long, romantic walks on the beach.. oh wait, wrong profile! I live a life of hedonistic delight in the mountains of Bainskloof (www dot mcbains dot co dot za) where I balance online writing challenges with cold water plunges in the Witte River. I would say that I'm a people's person. But that I also love reading in bed on my own. I would ask that you give me a chance with your job as I promise that I will not let you down, should we agree on the terms and conditions. Thank you for your consideration, Justin.

Winning work is not about writing longer proposals. It is about submitting strategically structured, fully compliant responses that evaluators can score quickly and confidently. I help businesses plan, manage, and write high-scoring tenders, RFPs, RFQs, ITTs, and PQQ responses across government, infrastructure, construction, facilities services, engineering, and professional services sectors. With 15 years of international bid and proposal experience, I provide end-to-end bid support, from bid/no-bid decisions and requirements analysis through win themes, storyboarding, compliance mapping, writing, review cycles, and final submission management. My background as a former Procurement Officer gives me a buyer’s-eye understanding of how evaluators assess: - compliance - risk - methodology - capability evidence - value for money - differentiation - delivery confidence This means I don’t simply “write proposals.” I help position your offer as the lowest-risk, highest-value solution. My services include: - Bid / Proposal Management - Tender Strategy & Win Themes - RFP / RFT / ITT Response Writing - Compliance Matrix Development - Executive Summaries - Capability Statements - Methodology & Management Plans - Evidence-based Case Studies - Review & Red Team Support - Submission Formatting & Quality Checks My approach combines APMP best practice, persuasive proposal strategy, and evaluator-focused structure to help clients improve readability, scoring confidence, and overall competitiveness. If you need someone who can lead the bid process, coordinate inputs, and turn fragmented technical content into a compelling win document, I can help.
