What we do
A proposal is scored by someone with a checklist and not much time. Ministry, council and state tenders here follow the Public Finance Regulation, which now gives registered SMEs priority on smaller contracts, while state companies, resorts and donors bring rules of their own. We map every requirement to an answer, write in plain language, price it so the numbers add up and make sure no missing document disqualifies the bid.
Bid review
A quick read of the tender or opportunity: whether you meet the eligibility rules, can raise the bid security in time, and should chase it at all.
Compliance matrix
Every requirement in the bid data sheet mapped to where the proposal answers it, down to the registration and tax documents.
Writing and editing
Method statements, case studies and executive summaries in plain English, or Dhivehi where the tender asks for it.
Pricing schedules
Rates and totals built from real costs, with GST treated the way the tender asks, checked twice, in the tender's own format.
Bid documents and submission
Business, SME and contractor registration, a recent MIRA tax clearance report, a bid security where the tender asks for one, and the online upload or sealed envelope checked before the deadline.
Design and layout
A clean document, with diagrams, programmes and drawings where they help.
Investor and funding proposals
Pitch documents and applications for banks, investors, SME Digital financing schemes and donor-funded programmes.

How much notice do you need?
Two to four weeks for most tenders. We have turned bids round in a week, but the score is usually better with more time, and some documents, such as a bank's bid security, take days to arrange.
What documents do government tenders usually ask for?
Usually your business registration certificate, GST or TIN registration, a MIRA tax clearance report issued within a set period, your SME registration if you have one, and, for many tenders, a bid security. The amounts and date limits change from tender to tender, so we read them from each bid data sheet rather than assume.
Do small businesses get any priority?
Yes, on smaller contracts. Since amendments to the Public Finance Regulation in early 2026, government contracts below about MVR 5 million go to the highest-scoring registered SME where SMEs bid, and smaller construction jobs are reserved for lower-grade contractors on the National Contractors Registry. Keeping your SME and contractor registration current is the first step.
Where are government tenders published?
As announcements in the Government Gazette and on agency and council websites, with some larger procurements run through the Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises' e-procurement system. We watch them for the sectors you work in, if you want us to.
Can you guarantee we win?
No one can. We guarantee a compliant, well-written and correctly priced proposal delivered before the deadline.
Will it sound like us?
Yes. We interview your team and write from your experience and your projects, not from a template.
