Built for Irish public tendering — across every sector.
One tool, the whole tender

TenderIQ — the intelligent way to tender.

Most tender tools help with one piece. TenderIQ takes you the whole way — from ITT to submission.

Built for Irish and UK public procurement — from etenders notices to MEAT tender responses. Upload your ITT, employer's requirements and bills of quantities; get a project overview, criteria framework, clarification queries, response brief, a drafted answer for every query, an evaluator-grade score, your competitive position and a final pack check — one tool, from the day the ITT lands to the hour before you submit. And it marks the way the evaluation panel will, not the way you'd like: in the actual bands, against the actual criteria, grounded in your own evidence. Weeks of bid writing and thousands in consultant fees — done in an afternoon, and told to you straight.

Who it's for

Built for Irish public tendering — across every sector.

TenderIQ scores any tender marked on MEAT criteria: construction works under the Capital Works Management Framework, facilities management and services, supply of goods, and green and energy contracts. Each sector has its own lens, standards and scoring discipline. Whether you bid every month or twice a year, TenderIQ turns the hardest, most expensive part of winning work into the easiest.

The problem

Why do good companies lose tenders?

Rarely because the work isn't good enough. Usually because the response leaves marks on the table — and no one catches it until the result comes back.

Answering the wrong question

The response talks around the criterion instead of addressing exactly what it asks.

Generic methodology

A reusable method that isn't tied to this project, this site, this contract.

Thin on evidence

Claims without the named examples, data or references a panel can award marks for.

Over the page limit

Strong content that breaches format rules and gets discounted or disqualified.

Priced without a read

Submitting a price with no sense of where the response stands on quality.

Gaps found too late

Discovering the weaknesses in the debrief letter, when nothing can be changed.

How it works

Nine steps, one workflow.

Each stage feeds the next, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is lost between the tender documents and the pack you submit.

1

It reads the documents

Upload the ITT, the employer's requirements, drawings, programmes, the bill of quantities — PDF, Word, Excel and images, filed by category. TenderIQ reads them and hands you a project overview: what the job is, the key dates, the constraints, each fact traced back to the document it came from.

2

It breaks down every question

For each award criterion, TenderIQ shows you what the evaluator is really asking — the concern behind the question and what a top-band answer has to cover — read straight from the tender itself.

3

It writes your clarification queries

Where the documents are silent, contradictory or ambiguous, TenderIQ drafts the clarification questions worth putting to the contracting authority — before the query deadline closes, not after.

4

It drafts every response

A full first draft of each answer, grounded in your project documents and built the way that sector's evaluators mark. Download it as an editable Word document with every evidence gap marked, so your team can finish it and own it.

5

It scores what you submit

Paste your finished response back and TenderIQ marks it the way the evaluator will — in the actual bands, against the actual criteria, with the quality-versus-price competitiveness read. Not a flattering number. The honest one, while you can still do something about it.

6

It checks the pack before you send it

A final pass across the whole submission: unanswered requirements, placeholders left in the text, and answers that contradict each other from one criterion to the next.

The only tool that takes you the whole way — read, questioned, drafted, marked, and checked.

The differentiator

It marks like the evaluator.

Every other tool tells you your bid is great. Your bid isn't great until the evaluator says so — and by then it's too late to change it. TenderIQ scores the way the panel scores: it counts reservations, it won't be flattered by good writing, and it never invents evidence you don't have. It tells you the truth about your bid while you can still act on it. That's the whole point.

Under the bonnet

Trained skill by skill, the way a bid team is built.

TenderIQ isn't one general model given a clever instruction. It's a register of individually trained skills — each one taught a single discipline of tender work, each one applied at the point in the process where it matters. Eight run the pipeline from intake to final check. Eight more are the specialist lenses a panel marks against.

The pipeline — intake to submission

  • Project overview — reads every document at intake and builds a sourced fact register. Nothing derived, everything traceable.
  • Query intent — reconstructs the evaluator's concern behind each question, and the expectations they never wrote down.
  • Ask ledger — atomises the criterion into one shared list of asks, so the brief and the scorer are marking the same thing.
  • Context binding — ties every ask to the project facts, so nothing in the brief floats free of the documents.
  • Client value — reframes activity into output and client assurance, the way a panel reads merit.
  • Response style — governs how the draft reads: tone, structure, tables and the page budget.
  • Band scoring — classifies against the band descriptors; deterministic code, not the model, awards the mark.
  • Tender assurance — the mechanical sweep across the finished pack, and a plain statement of what it did not check.

The specialist lenses — how panels actually mark

  • Method — sequence, resourcing, interfaces, controls and how risk is carried through delivery.
  • Programme & time — the plan, the critical path, and float managed the way the contract says, not the way it's usually claimed.
  • Experience — comparable projects, named and evidenced, with why each is genuinely comparable.
  • People & resourcing — named roles, competence, availability, cover, and arithmetic that holds up.
  • Risk — this project's risks, their owners and controls, the residual position and escalation.
  • Quality & compliance — the standard, the mechanism, the sign-off and the record that proves it.
  • Outcome assurance — the measurable commitment, its baseline, verification, cadence and consequence.
  • Sustainability — quantified environmental and social commitments, and how they're calculated and reported.

Each skill is versioned and governed by a written specification — so the same submission is read the same way today, next month and next year.

Time & money

A tender costs weeks and thousands. This costs an afternoon.

A single quality submission can take weeks of work and €5,000–€10,000 in time and fees. TenderIQ compresses the reading, the breakdown, the drafting and the review into one afternoon — for less than the cost of a single submission a month. Win one more tender a year, and it has paid for itself many times over.

  • Margin comments, not scored rewrites
  • Feedback after the draft is done

TenderIQ

Flagship · Tender Competitiveness™

An honest read, not a guess.

Most Irish MEAT tenders score quality relative to the best submission — which no tool can see. So Tender IQ scores what you control, and lets you model the rest.

Earned

Your quality merit

The marks your response earns on each criterion, against the rubric. Locked — the only way to move it is to improve the response.

Your estimate

The field & your price

You set where the strongest competing response likely lands, and your price versus the lowest. Your call, your knowledge of the market.

Indicative

The competitiveness read

Quality scored relative to the best tender, plus your price — combined into an indicative total that updates as you improve.

We never claim to predict who wins. There's no fabricated win probability and no invented ranking — because we can't see your competitors' bids, and we won't pretend to.

Founding cohort · 2026

Built with Ireland's bidders.

TenderIQ is launching with a founding group of contractors and suppliers. Because it scores consistently, the improvement is measurable — here's the kind of lift the coaching produces. (Illustrative founding-cohort examples.)

"It caught a whole criterion we'd half-answered. The rewrite guidance took our Programme section from a pass to genuinely strong."

Bid Manager · civil engineering contractor

"The value is seeing where you lose marks before the panel does. We stopped guessing and started fixing the right things."

Director · FM & maintenance provider

"Consistent scoring meant I could trust the before/after. I could show the team exactly why a section improved."

FAQ

Good questions.

TenderIQ does not write your bid. You finish it and own it. What it does is draft every answer from your documents and hands it to you as an editable Word file, with every place you need your own evidence clearly marked. It never invents evidence — where it needs a real fact, a past project or a figure, it tells you to add it.

PDFs, Word documents, Excel workbooks and images — the ITT, employer's requirements, specifications, drawings, programmes, bills of quantities and reports, filed by category. Up to 50 files per tender, 100 MB per file. CAD files are stored but read best when exported to PDF.

Yes. Where the documents are silent, contradictory or ambiguous, it drafts the clarification questions worth putting to the contracting authority, grouped by criterion, so you can lodge them before the query deadline.

It marks in the evaluator's bands, counting reservations the way a panel does, and shows the quality-versus-price competitiveness read. It won't flatter you — that's the point.

It looks at the finished pack for unanswered requirements, placeholders still left in the text, and answers that contradict each other across criteria. It doesn't judge compliance, quality or price — that's what the scoring is for.

Your documents and responses stay yours. Full stop. They're private to your organisation, encrypted, and never used to train shared models.

Irish public-sector MEAT tenders. Construction under the Capital Works Management Framework is where it's tuned hardest, and it also supports goods, facilities management and energy tenders.

No. It explains the project and the questions in plain terms, and shows you where the marks are.

Yes — the plan includes unlimited team members. The account owner invites colleagues by email and they join the same organisation, working from the same tenders, drafts and evidence.
