"The winning bidder is expected to do quality work on time. However, those who lost the bid should not be discouraged, as Cordaid plans to seek bids for several school-related projects in the near future."
(If the first project referred to above was also school-related, you might say):
"...Cordaid plans to seek bids for several other school-related projects in the near future."
(Or, if not, you might say):
"...Cordaid plans to seek bids for several other projects in the near future."

I guess it is, but it has such negative connotations; how about "other participants" or "other bidders"?
