Tender paperwork, prepared in one place.
in-tender is a bid administration tool. It fills tender documents from your company records, shows what's still missing, and keeps your team's review and changes on one platform — so you can prepare more bids, more completely, in less time.
It handles the administration of bidding. It doesn't decide, predict or guarantee who wins a tender.
Bid admin is still done by hand
Most bid teams still track tenders in spreadsheets. They convert each tender's forms to Word, fill them in, convert them back to PDF, then email them around for review. Every change means another copy, another round of review and another chance for something to slip.
Picture twenty tenders closing in the same week and a team of four getting through two a day. They might make the deadlines, but sections get missed, the same document gets reviewed over and over, and everyone is worn out by the third bid. If you prepare bids for clients, chasing them for documents adds another layer on top.
What in-tender does
Step 1
Store your company records once
Upload your registration, tax, B-BBEE and compliance documents to a company vault. You don't have to re-enter them for every tender.
Step 2
Find tenders and read their requirements
Browse live tenders and run a requirements check. It lists what a tender asks for and which of those requirements your records don't cover yet.
Step 3
Fill the documents, see what's missing
Fields are pre-filled from your vault. Each document shows how many fields are filled and which are still empty, so you don't miss a section.
Step 4
Review, revise and export in one place
Your team works on the same copy, so nobody has to send versions back and forth. When it's ready, download a single document or the whole bid pack.
What in-tender is, and what it isn't
It is
- — A tool for preparing bid documents faster and more completely.
- — One place for your records, form filling, review and export.
- — A way to see what each tender asks for, and what's still outstanding.
It isn't
- — A promise, prediction or guarantee that any bid will be awarded.
- — A replacement for your own review. You check and sign off everything before you submit.
- — A decision-maker. The organ of state that issues a tender evaluates and awards it.
Whether a bid succeeds depends on three things: your own due diligence and procedures, your review of what you submit, and the evaluation by whoever issued the tender. in-tender helps with the paperwork on the way there.
