Questions
Questions about our tender writing services.
Who actually writes our tenders?
A Tendl bid manager plans, drafts and reviews every response, matched to your sector. The Tendl platform handles requirement extraction, compliance mapping and first drafts from your approved content. AI assists. A person is accountable.
Is this outsourcing our tendering?
It is managed, not outsourced. You keep the go or no-go call, the win angle, your experts' judgement, the price and final sign-off. We run the process. Everything we learn stays in your own Tendl profile.
How much do tender writing services cost in Australia?
Most tender managers charge per tender or by the day. Our fee follows your wins: a retainer, and a small share of the work you win. Talk to us for a figure based on how often you bid.
What happens to our content and evidence if we stop?
It stays yours. Your voice, evidence and qualification logic live in your own Tendl profile, not in a consultant's files.
Do you write government tenders, RFTs and EOIs?
Yes. Our bid managers work on RFTs, RFPs, EOIs, panel applications, grants and BAFO presentations, for federal, state and local government and for private buyers.
Which industries do your tender managers cover?
Our bid managers have bid across energy and utilities, technology, transport, justice, facilities management, employment services, health and social care, and training. We match a bid manager who has bid in your sector.
How involved do our people need to be?
Your people make the calls and give expert input. We capture that input once and draft from it every time, so your subject-matter experts give input, not lose evenings.
Is our information secure?
The Tendl platform holds ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II compliance, with AES-256 encrypted storage. Your data is never used to train AI models, and you can host it in Australia.
Pricing
Our fee follows your wins.
A retainer, and a small share of the work you win. With us it is a complete tender capability, run by us, owned by you.
