Compliance check before the evaluator does it
Tenderen reads your proposal against the requirements specification and flags missing answers, impermissible caveats, conflicting wording and items that will cost you points — before the envelope is sealed.
The problem
Rejected on a technicality — after 200 hours of work
Every year, proposals are rejected over details that could have been caught in minutes: a forgotten attachment, a caveat that conflicts with the contract template, a discrepancy between the pricing matrix and the written response.
rejected on technicalities
KOFA cases show that nearly a quarter of rejections come down to mistakes that could have been avoided with a thorough check before submission.
frequently disqualify
A well-intentioned "provided that..." in the response can be read as a caveat against the tender documents — and disqualify the entire proposal.
is when errors surface
Most errors are first discovered when the rejection letter arrives. By then the complaint deadline is short and the arguments thin.
The solution
Automated QA against the entire tender package
Tenderen checks your proposal item by item against the requirements specification, contract template and evaluation model — and presents a prioritised list of what needs to be fixed.
Check against the requirements spec
Tenderen identifies every minimum requirement and verifies it's been addressed — and flags exactly which items are missing answers.
Caveat detector
Phrases like "only if", "subject to" or conflicts with the contract template are flagged automatically for review before submission.
Consistency check
Price in the cover letter against price in the pricing matrix, delivery time in the response against delivery time in the pricing schedule — Tenderen catches inconsistencies before the evaluator does.
Evaluation simulation
Get an estimate of how your proposal will score against the award criteria, with concrete suggestions for what will lift the score.
How it works
Three steps to an evaluation-ready proposal
Upload the draft proposal
Submit the cover letter, written response, pricing matrix and attachments. Tenderen treats them as one proposal — just like the evaluator will.
Run the requirements check
In minutes, you get a prioritised report: red flags (disqualifying), yellow (point losses) and blue (improvements).
Fix and submit with confidence
Jump straight to each flag in the proposal, make the change and rerun the check. Submit when the list is green.
A safety net against KOFA cases
Bid managers handling complex public tenders run Tenderen's requirements check as the final step before every submission — and catch errors that would otherwise cost them the contract.
Checkpoints per proposal
Disqualifying, point loss, suggestion
Rejections on technicalities
Per full check
Never submit on "it's probably fine".
Run your next proposal through Tenderen's requirements check — it takes two minutes and could save the contract.
