AI Bid Review & Tender Evaluation

Fast, Focused Feedback on Your Responses

As part of our bid consultancy and software support, we also offer a quick-turnaround AI Bid Review & Tender Evaluation service. Whether you’re responding to tenders in-house or outsourcing parts of the process, our tool helps you review and improve draft responses – fast.

For each answer you draft or upload, we run it through our AI-powered evaluation tool, which checks for clarity, relevance, and alignment with typical public sector evaluation criteria. You’ll receive a short, focused summary of strengths and suggested improvements – written in plain language, not jargon.

This service is ideal if:

You want to check your team’s drafts before submission
You need feedback on specific responses rather than the full bid
You’re training new bid writers or looking to improve internal quality
You’re short on time but still want expert input

It’s not a full red review – it’s faster, lighter, and built for practical use. And if you need more support, our consultants are on hand to guide your team, suggest improvements, or even rewrite key sections.
