Trade packages and head-contract pursuits are different work.
The distinction
One tool can cover a step. A pursuit needs the hand-offs connected.
EstimateOne is built for construction trade quoting. Tendor gives the supplier team one working thread through the opportunity, decision and response.
- 01
Opportunity
Find a relevant opportunity and keep its source context.
- 02
Decision
Read the requirements before senior effort is committed.
- 03
Response
Bring evidence, drafting and review into the same pursuit.

Choose by the work you need to run.
Trade package quoting and head-contract pursuit address different jobs. A team may use one or both depending on where the work sits in its commercial process.
When trade quoting is the job
- You need to exchange construction drawings, packages and quotes between builders and trade subcontractors.
- Your immediate workflow is pricing a trade package rather than preparing a head-contract response.
When a head-contract pursuit is the job
- You need to qualify a tender and keep requirements, evidence, response preparation and submission together.
- Your team manages recurring bids where shared approvals, hand-offs and final sign-off matter.
Questions, answered.
How does Tendor differ from EstimateOne?
EstimateOne supports construction trade quoting. Tendor is designed for teams pursuing the head contract: finding opportunities, making a bid/no-bid decision, reusing approved evidence, preparing the response and managing final submission.
Does Tendor replace trade quoting tools?
No. Trade quoting and head-contract tender pursuit are different jobs. A team may use specialised tools for each part of its commercial process.
Who is Tendor for?
Tendor is for contractors, bid teams and professional-services firms managing recurring tender pursuits, particularly where evidence, approvals and response work need to stay connected.
