Tendering Best Practices

TenderStrike: AI born in construction, now transforming tenders across all industries

Responding to tenders is a strategic necessity, but also a highly time-consuming and complex task. Every commercial director knows this: reading the documents, understanding client expectations (often implicit), coordinating with internal teams, and drafting a tailored proposal can take an entire team several days—or even weeks.

Originally built for the construction sector—one of the most demanding industries in terms of tender complexity—TenderStrike now brings its AI capabilities to all sectors, including software, services, consulting, and manufacturing. With AI at its core, TenderStrike significantly accelerates the process and boosts your chances of success.

A challenge shared by all commercial departments

Whether you're selling enterprise software, cybersecurity services, outsourced operations, or industrial solutions, tendering challenges are the same:

  • Large volumes of documents (hundreds of pages in some cases)
  • Scattered requirements: technical, administrative, compliance, ESG
  • Implicit expectations not clearly stated in the tender
  • High risk of missing key requirements or misinterpreting them
  • Significant resource mobilization to deliver in time

Real-life experience: 1 to 2 full weeks for a single response

Before TenderStrike, we experienced this process first-hand. Here's a true story:

“As a sales executive, every tender felt like a marathon. My administrative assistant and I would spend two full days reading every page in detail to make sure we didn’t miss anything, to understand every requirement and identify points to clarify with the client. The goal was always to deeply understand the client’s needs and tailor our response to show that we grasped the issues and that our solution checked every box. After that came internal coordination, the security questionnaire with IT (we sold software), estimating usage volumes, pricing strategy discussions, drafting the technical proposal, reviewing everything… In total: 1 to 2 weeks of full-time effort to submit a solid offer.”

TenderStrike: AI that changes everything

TenderStrike transforms that reality:
