Hi, I'm Melissa
I'm a specialist tender writer and bid consultant based in Darwin, and I work with construction and trade businesses across Australia to win more work through structured, strategic tendering.
I established The Bid Agency in 2017, and since then I've supported predominantly construction and trade businesses to secure over $2 billion in contract wins — across opportunities ranging from $50,000 to $55 million.
My background is grounded in construction. My husband is a dual-trade qualified tradie, I've worked within construction environments myself, and I studied architectural drafting in 2013. I understand how construction and trade businesses actually operate — and I speak your language. I'm also pretty damn good at construction programming and methodologies, which is something most bid writers can't offer.
After more than 11 years writing, reviewing and winning bids, I've built the Bid Like a Pro framework around three core pillars:
Strategic Positioning
Competitive Communication
Structured Systems.
It's what I teach inside The Bid School so you can tender confidently with:
No bullshitting.
No over-promising.
No templates or bland policies pretending to be strategy.
If you're ready to take tenders seriously, this workshop is where to start.
Your next tender win isn't about working harder.
It's about bidding smarter.
Spend 90 minutes with me on Tuesday 23 June 2026 and walk away with a clear, actionable framework for winning more of the tenders and quotes you're going after — without the guesswork, bull shitting, over promising or burning out your team.
