Tender packs are long, full of jargon and easy to get wrong. TenderRoad's bid coach reads them for you, tells you plainly what the buyer wants, and helps you write answers that score, built only from facts about your business.
Step 1, read the tender pack: upload the documents, or let TenderRoad fetch them when they are attached publicly to the notice. In a couple of minutes you get a plain-English bid plan.
Step 2, see what really matters: key dates, the pass-or-fail must-haves, how the bid is scored, every question with its word limit and weighting, and the documents to send back. Every point shows which document and page it came from, and anything the documents do not say is marked as not stated.
Step 3, decide whether to bid: your fit, the supplier that probably holds the contract now, who else wins work from this buyer, and seven questions that end in a clear go or no-go.
Step 4, draft from your own facts: a plan and a first draft for each question, built only from your bid library. Anything missing is flagged as a gap for you to fill, never invented.
Step 5, check it like an evaluator: a likely mark against the buyer’s own scoring guide, what is covered, what is missing, and specific fixes.
It drafts answers for you, using your bid library and the tender documents. Treat each draft as a strong starting point: fill the gaps it flags, check every fact, and put it in your own words. The bid, and everything in it, is yours.
It is built not to. It only uses facts from your bid library and the tender documents. When a good answer needs something you have not given it, it leaves a clear gap, such as [ADD: an example of similar work, with the client and result], instead of inventing one. Every point in the bid plan shows which document and page it came from. It can still misread a document, so always check against the tender pack.
Generally, yes. Government guidance accepts that suppliers may use AI tools, and some buyers ask you to say whether you did. Answer honestly, and make sure everything in your bid is accurate and something you can prove.

Your bid library and drafts are private to your account. Tender documents are read to build your bid plan and are not stored; we keep the plan, not the files. The reading and drafting is done by Anthropic's Claude, whose API does not use your data to train its models.
No. It helps you understand what the buyer wants, avoid the mistakes that get bids thrown out, and write clearer, better evidenced answers. Who wins depends on the buyer, the other bids and your price.
