FOR BID MANAGERS

Run the bid like an operator, not a courier.

A bid manager juggling five live pursuits across multiple regions spends half their week as admin courier — chasing SMEs, ferrying drafts, version-controlling Word docs. Tendor gives you one operating room per pursuit, a tagged evidence library and the same playbook used in the mid-tier civil customer story — so the workspace runs the bid and you run the judgement calls.

A Tuesday morning, two ways

BEFORE TENDOR08:00 — 17:00

Half the day is courier work.

  • 08:10Three SMEs replied. Two attached wrong versions.
  • 09:30Standup. Three of five status updates are wrong.
  • 11:15Ferry the Schedule 2 between estimating and proposals.
  • 14:00Chase compliance for the PI certificate.
  • 16:45Which is the submit copy — v3 or FINAL_v3?
WITH TENDOR08:00 — 17:00

The workspace runs the bid.

  • 08:10Evidence already pinned to the criterion. Comments inline.
  • 09:30Pursuit board is the standup. Every workspace current.
  • 11:15Draft lives in the workspace. Comments resolve in place.
  • 14:00Library pulls the current PI — expiry-flagged ahead of time.
  • 16:45One canonical response. Version history is the timeline.
THE OPERATING ROOM

One pursuit, one room — fills in as the bid takes shape.

Every artefact, comment, version and SME contribution lives in the workspace. The bid manager runs the bid — not the file system.
