Key Capabilities

What it does

RAG-Powered Content Retrieval

Searches your Vault for past bid responses, method statements, case studies, and capability descriptions relevant to the current tender. Retrieves content at the paragraph level. Ranks retrieved content by relevance to each section's requirements. Transparently shows which source documents each section draws from.

Section-by-Section Generation

Generates content for each section specified in the ITT instructions. Ensures every award criterion and MEAT weighting is addressed in the corresponding section. Maintains consistent terminology, acronyms, and writing style throughout.

Compliance Assurance

Cross-references generated content against selection criteria and award criteria. Highlights requirements that need additional content or specificity. Ensures page limits are respected in each section's draft length.

Export and Collaboration

Exports to Word (.docx) with proper headings, numbering, and formatting. Section-level comments indicating source material and confidence level. Tracked changes mode for team review and editing. Version control for multiple draft iterations.

How it Works

Simple steps to get started

1

Upload the tender and ensure your Vault contains relevant content

Your Vault stores past bid responses, method statements, case studies, and capability descriptions. The richer your Vault, the stronger the draft.

2

RAG retrieves the most relevant content

For each section of the new tender, the system retrieves the most relevant content from your Vault at the paragraph level.

3

AI generates section-by-section drafts

Draft content aligned to each section's requirements and MEAT weightings. The AI adapts past content to address the specific language and criteria of the new tender.

4

Export to Word and distribute for review

Your bid team reviews, refines, and enhances the AI-generated draft with win themes and discriminators. The AI provides the first 70% of the work; your team adds the strategic insight that wins.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Writing a tender response from scratch is one of the most expensive, time-consuming activities in public sector business development. Experienced bid writers cost significant sums per day, and much of that writing is adapting content from previous responses to new requirements, a task perfectly suited to AI.
