What types of tenders does this handle?

The platform handles any type of construction tender — competitive, negotiated, two-stage, framework call-offs, and design and build. Whether you’re pricing a JCT or NEC4 contract, the tools work the same way. Build your schedules, send out packages, and compile your return.

How do the two pricing routes work?

When you build a schedule in the Schedule Builder, you choose where it goes. Push it to Tender and a package is created for the supply chain. Push it to Master and you price it yourself. Both routes run in parallel and converge in Master Pricing, where you see the full picture before adjudication.

How does the AI help with tenders?

The AI agent can draft enquiry letters, write project-specific scopes of works from your embedded specifications, help with quantity extraction from drawings, and perform initial bid comparisons with RAG-status flagging. You review and edit everything before it goes out.

Can I reuse content from previous tenders?

Yes. Enquiry letters, scopes, DRMs, attendances, and payment terms can all be imported from your template library. When you start a new tender, you pull from your existing library rather than rebuilding from scratch.

How does tender analysis work?

When sub-contractor prices are returned, upload them into the Tender Analysis. The AI performs an initial comparison — flagging every variance between bidders and automatically raising a tender query against each difference. Send queries, receive responses, and the analysis updates. Select your winner and their price pushes straight back to Master Pricing.

Can my whole team work on the same tender?

Yes. Multiple team members can work on different parts simultaneously — one person on pricing, another building packages, someone else managing sub-contractor enquiries. Everything stays in sync.

Tenders - Price It. Package It. Win It.

Build the schedule once, from your rate book

The Schedule Builder prices from the rates you already hold: quantity, unit, utilisation, factor and rate on every line, with the build-up behind each rate a toggle away.

Push a schedule to Tender and it becomes a package for the supply chain; push it to Master and you price it yourself.
Both routes meet in Master Pricing, so you see the whole bid before you adjudicate.
Nett, sell and margin stay live as the lines change.

Each package carries its letter, scope, design responsibility matrix, pricing document, drawings and programme extract. Invitees open it on the portal; you see who has and who will tender.

Six panes per package: invitees, winner, documents, programme, RFIs, addenda.
Tender queries stay private to the bidder; RFI answers broadcast to everyone.
A chase goes to the invitee who has not opened the enquiry, not to the ones who have.

Pushed to the main contract, this becomes the contract sum: the same packages, the same lines, nothing re-entered.

The return compiles itself, and the price becomes the contract

Details, tender letter and pricing come together as the return, summary or full schedule, as a PDF. When you win, one push makes the bid price the main contract sum.

Staff, preliminaries and every subcontract package, with their sections and items.
Push to Main Contract carries the same packages and lines into the contract, nothing re-entered.
Tender awards become subcontracts; subcontracts trigger commitments.
