One of our customers is an engineering firm that responds to around fourteen government tenders a month. Before SmartTender, their commercial team was spending about three weeks per tender, most of it on reading and checking compliance rather than writing the actual response. They are now closer to four days per tender, and over the last two quarters their win rate has moved from around eighteen percent to twenty-seven.
SmartTender
SmartTender is the workflow we have built for commercial teams that respond to tenders as a regular part of their business. Most of the teams we have worked with spend the bulk of their time on the parts of the process that do not really win the tender, like reading the document, tracking requirements, and checking compliance. SmartTender is designed to take most of that off their plate so they can spend their time on the bid itself.
It is built on SmartDoc and makes sense for teams responding to more than a handful of RFPs a month.
The workflow
When an RFP arrives, SmartTender reads it and pulls out the deadlines, forms, scope, and mandatory criteria so you know what you are dealing with before the first meeting. It produces a short assessment that helps you decide whether to bid. If you do, it drafts a response against each requirement, drawing on your past submissions so the language is yours. Your team edits inside SmartDoc, and the system tracks changes so nothing gets lost between drafts. When the bid is ready, it is packaged for submission.

Success story
How to start
The usual way in is a two-week pilot on one live tender for a fixed fee of ten thousand dollars. At the end of the pilot you can decide whether to move onto a monthly subscription. If it is not a fit, you keep the outputs and we part on good terms.
