Tender discovery and filtering
Monitors published tender notices (UK Contracts Finder, TED, Polish BZP, regional portals). Matches open calls against your firm's capability profile and past-performance record.
TenderAI
Public procurement is roughly 14% of GDP across the EU and UK. Bid-writing is still a manual craft. TenderAI compresses the cycle from weeks per bid to days — and lets small firms compete for contracts that previously required dedicated bid-writing headcount.

What it does
Capability surface
— 02
Eligibility and mandatory-criteria scoring
Reads the tender document, extracts mandatory criteria (financial thresholds, certifications, past-performance requirements), and scores whether your firm qualifies — before you spend a day drafting.
— 03
Section-by-section drafting against rubric
Drafts each required section — methodology, case studies, team CVs, pricing narrative — against the specific evaluation weights published with the call. Not a generic proposal template.
— 04
Pricing narrative composition
Builds the commercial section with sensitivity to the tender's evaluation model — lowest-price, most economically advantageous, quality-weighted. The narrative frames the pricing to maximise score against the published weights.
— 05
Compliance checking
Validates the draft against mandatory requirements — page limits, format rules, signed attestations, sub-contractor disclosures. Catches the disqualification failures that kill otherwise-winning bids.
— 06
Past-performance reuse
Source-of-truth memory of your firm's prior contracts, case studies, and compliance records. Reusable across bids without manual re-keying — and kept current as a firm asset.
Who it’s for
Buyer profile
SMEs targeting public-sector contracts
Small and medium firms that could win public tenders if the bid-writing overhead wasn't prohibitive.
Public procurement is structurally biased against small firms because bid-writing scales poorly with headcount. TenderAI removes the scaling penalty — one operator can produce a competitive bid in the time it used to take to draft a response summary.
Procurement consultancies
Bid-writing consultancies that earn success fees on contract wins.
Consultancies today scale wins with headcount. TenderAI lets them scale with licences instead — more bids per consultant, higher margin per win, same professional judgment applied to the final review.
How it’s built
Agent pipeline
Not a single prompt or a chatbot. A composed pipeline of specialised agents, each with a defined role, a documented toolset, and a declared failure mode.
agent/monitor-tendersWatches published tender portals and filters by firm capability profile and past-performance.
agent/score-eligibilityExtracts mandatory criteria and scores firm eligibility before drafting effort is committed.
agent/draft-sectionsSection-specialised drafting agents produce methodology, case studies, team bios, pricing narrative, and compliance attestations against the specific rubric.
agent/compose-pricingBuilds the pricing narrative aligned to the evaluation model (MEAT, lowest-price, quality-weighted).
agent/qa-complianceCompliance gate. Validates the draft against mandatory requirements, page limits, format, and signatures. Rejects submissions that would be disqualified.

How we engage
Built for your firm. Developed with you.
Every deployment is a bespoke engagement. We don't sell seats or generic SaaS. We build agents against your workflows, your matter taxonomy, your regulatory context — then we operate the system with you under a monthly retainer. Your data, configurations, and outputs are yours and portable. The Blackflake engine is developed by us and runs under your retainer.
— 01
Discovery
Scoped call to map your workflow, constraints, and success metrics. No charge. You leave with an architecture note and engagement estimate.
— 02
Pilot build
Fixed-price deployment on one narrow workflow. Real output on real work in weeks. Go / no-go before the full build.
— 03
Full build
Agent suite, workflows, sources of truth, QA gates, operator surface. Deployed in your tenant. Auditable.
— 04
Retainer
Monthly retainer: new regulations ingested, agents tuned on live work, new workflows added. We develop the engine; your data, configurations, and outputs stay yours — always portable.
