What the engine surfaces
Intelligence most teams miss.
Three example findings from a sample dossier. These are the patterns the engine looks for — evaluator priorities, hidden traps, and competitive angles.
Evaluator priorities
Local SMME content weighted at 38%
Roads Agency Limpopo's last 4 awards prioritised local SMME involvement at 38% — even though the published criteria stated only 25%. We restructured your methodology section to lead with local subcontracting.
Hidden requirements
SCM Regulation 5(1) declaration
Required for projects over R 5m, but absent from the returnable list. This omission disqualified 3 contractors in this category in the last 6 months. We added it preemptively.
Win patterns
ISO 14001 led, methodology second
Your two highest-scoring past submissions both opened with your ISO 14001 environmental track record before discussing methodology. Environmental compliance is worth 12 points in this evaluation. We restructured to match.
The shift
TenderSmith vs the old way.

From the field.
“The CIDB check alone saved us from disqualifications twice. We went from winning 1 in 5 to 4 in 5 over 6 months.”
“The Intelligence Brief surfaced evaluator priorities our team missed on three previous tenders to the same client.”
“Uploaded our project history once. Now every document references our actual work. Evaluators commented on how relevant our submissions are.”
Results shown are from early users and may not be typical. Individual outcomes depend on tender complexity, company profile, and market conditions.
