Win public tenders without a bid team
You're one person. You don't have 40 extra hours a week to read tender documentation. Tenderen does the heavy lifting up front — qualification assessment, requirement extraction, first bid draft — so you can pick the tenders that are actually worth the effort and win them without sacrificing billable hours.
Can a one-person consultancy win public tenders with Tenderen?
Tenderen does the reading and tracking so you can spend your hours on the bids worth winning. The Free plan gives one user search across Doffin, TED and BOAMP, daily email alerts and 5 saved tenders. Pro adds AI analysis of the tender documents (requirements, deadlines, award criteria and risks), drafts of answer sections written from your company profile and earlier bids, and a requirement check, with 50 document analyses and 20 AI drafts a month and a 14-day free trial. You review every draft and submit the bid in the buyer's own system.
Best for
- Independent consultants and small advisory firms that bid a few times a year
- Consultants who reuse CVs, references and method text from bid to bid
Not the best fit
- You want the bid written and submitted for you: Tenderen drafts, you decide and submit
- Your buyers publish only on portals Tenderen does not index, such as below-threshold portals in Sweden or Denmark
The problem
Tenders cost more than you earn — as long as you do everything manually
For a sole proprietor or a small consultancy, every bid is a calculated risk. Spend three days on a tender you don't win, and you've lost a full week of billable time.
reads, prices, writes and proofs
Reading, qualifying, pricing, writing, proofing — all on your shoulders, often after client work is done for the day.
agreements carry the year
For many independents, one framework agreement is the backbone of the portfolio. Miss it and you lose predictable revenue for years.
can get a bid rejected
A forgotten attachment, an unclear self-declaration, a reservation against the SSA template — one formal slip outweighs 30 pages of solid response.
The solution
A bid team on subscription, not on payroll
Tenderen gives solo consultants the groundwork a bid department would do: an AI summary of the tender documents, extracted requirements and deadlines, a first draft from your own material, and a requirement check before you submit.
A qualification summary from the documents
Run an analysis on the tender to get a one-page summary, the requirements for turnover, certifications and references, key dates and risks, so you can decide whether it deserves a workday.
First draft pulled from what you've written before
The writer drafts answer sections from the tender, your company profile and the earlier bids in your account, and lists the sources it used. You polish instead of starting from a blank page.
Text library for one-person operations
Standard responses on privacy measures, ethics, environment and quality systems — written well once, reused in every bid without copy-pasting from old PDFs.
Requirement check before submission
Tenderen lists every requirement from the tender documents and shows which ones your answers cover and where there are gaps, so a missing answer is caught before the buyer catches it.
How it works
Three steps from notice to submitted bid
Upload the tender documentation
Open the tender from search or upload the documents. Tenderen extracts the requirements, deadlines and award criteria.
Write the bid using the draft as your base
Tenderen produces a first draft for every award criterion. You spend your time on what actually sets you apart from competitors — not the boilerplate.
Submit with confidence
Run the requirement check as your last step, export the bid and submit it in the buyer's own tendering system. Tenderen does not submit bids for you.
Built for independents who live off public contracts
Consultants in IT, law, communications, project management and specialist fields use Tenderen to compete on equal terms with large suppliers — without hiring a single bid writer.
