Once you have submitted your tender forms, you can sit back and relax for a little while, but don't get too comfortable just yet. There's a chance that you will be asked to attend an interview, or make a presentation once your forms have be accepted. 

Remember that the competition is far from over at this point - you've worked hard to look good on paper, so just make sure that you don't let the side down when you appear in person. 

Just like the forms, you need to be aware of how you present yourself, and what your audience is going to expect. Dress presentably, behave professionally and go well prepared. Don't just go having re-read your forms in the hope that you can just use that information to sail through. The people that will be interviewing you will have read the forms, and will now be looking to find out more, and whether you are as good as you look on paper. 

An interview or presentation will be a chance for the contracting company to assess what you are like as a person. They will be hoping to find out what you be like to work with and whether you are sincere about your abilities and past successes. It's easy to be over confident in your ability and business scope on paper, it's something else to have to do it face to face with a potential client. 

Get some practice in before you go to the interview or presentation, and involve other members of your team if you feel you need to. Also, consider getting some professional help if you are new to the tendering game or you think it would be useful.
