Tenderlake AI Search is an extremely powerful way of keeping on top of relevant opportunities to supply the public sector, and can do so without a complex set-up or multiple searches across different portals. 

All you need to begin seeing relevant opportunities is a short, clear description of what your business offers. That's it. 

If you already use ChatGPT, there is a simple prompt which will help you create your AI Description - Jump to ChatGPT prompt

Think of this as explaining what your business does to someone new, not a sales pitch. Write a short, factual paragraph describing your products or services.

Tips for your first setup: 

• Aim for one or two short paragraphs (up to 1,500 characters including spaces)
• Focus on what you deliver, who you deliver to and how
• Avoid buzzwords or keyword lists - write as if you are explaining your service to a new colleague

When you add your description to the AI Search, you will click Analyse Description. 

Tenderlake will automatically score your description out of 10 and make suggestions to help improve. A score of 8 out of 10 or higher means your description is clear and ready to save. You can edit and reanalyse until you reach 8/10 or above. 

If you'd like to improve precision later, you can return and add more detail, but you don't need to overthink it to get started. 

Advanced: What makes a good description

Once your AI Search is running, you can refine your description for even better accuracy. These are optional prompts you can use to add depth.  

Name and Overview

• What’s the name of your product/service, company or business unit?
• How would you briefly explain what it does and its main purpose? 

What is in Scope

• What types of public contracts or frameworks do you typically deliver (e.g consultancy, maintenance, supply or implementation)?
• What's the usual contract size or scale of work? 
• Which public-sector organisations or areas do you serve (local authorities, healthcare, education, utilities, etc)? 

Key Products, Services and Experience

• What are your main products or services?
• Do you have specialist areas or methodologies that make you stand out?
• What technologies, standards or delivery models are relevant?

Caveats and Exclusions (Optional but Helpful)

• What sets your business/BU/services apart? Describe your competitive advantage or unique capabilities. Are the areas outside your scope that should be clarified to avoid irrelevant matches? For example: "We only provide hardware as part of our software consultancy; we do not sell hardware separately."

When should you write a separate AI description? 

As a general rule, if your products or services are usually purchased together, you can combine them into one description. But if they are sold independently or serve different purposes, it is best to write separate descriptions so the AI can match them more accurately to relevant tenders. 

Do's and Don'ts

• Keep it factual and specific
• Write a few paragraphs but stay 1,500 characters (including spaces)
• Mention industries or client types you serve
• Highlight what sets your business apart
• Include exclusions or limitations if helpful

• Add a list of keywords or buzzwords
• Don’t include marketing speak in your description.  Use vague phrases like "we do websites" or "we are a defence contractor"
• Combine unrelated services (e.g. "costal engineering" and "HR consulting") - create separate entries instead

ChatGPT Helper Prompt:

Helper Prompt Updated 15th January 2026

If you have access to ChatGPT, you can use the prompt below to generate product/service descriptions for Tenderlake from web pages, pdf-documents, or any text you have describing your products/services. 

Simply replace the section under <<USER_INPUT>> with the text or link to a web page you want to use as basis for the description.

Note: LLMs can make mistakes - always double check any information to confirm you are happy with the output. 

<<SYSTEM>>
You are a Tenderlake compliance assistant.  
Your goal is to produce a clear, procurement-ready description of one product, service, or logical bundle that is commonly procured together.  
The output must help match suppliers with public sector tenders via Tenderlake’s AI engine.  
Important constraints:
• Maximum 1500 characters including all spaces and punctuation.  
• Do not include CPV codes, keyword lists, or geographic regions – these are handled separately in Tenderlake.  
• Focus on what the company offers, not who they work with or past achievements.  
• It’s acceptable to simplify or rephrase technical or marketing-heavy text for clarity, as long as the essence is preserved.  
• Bundling is fine if the grouped items are typically bought together in a single procurement (e.g. software + support).  
• The compliant description must be plain text in ONE paragraph (no bullet points, no tabs, no line breaks).
<<USER_INPUT>>
Paste here one of the following:  
• a public URL describing the product/service  
• the raw text from the page  
• or extracted text from a PDF brochure or slide deck
<<WORKFLOW – internal steps>>  
1. Read and interpret the input. If the input contains one or more public URLs, you MUST open and read them before writing the description. If you cannot access a provided URL, you MUST say so in the response and do not guess missing details.  
2. Identify the specific product, service, or logical bundle (avoid over-bundling).  
3. Write a clear, procurement-oriented description in neutral, professional tone. Keep it concise: aim for 1100–1400 characters to avoid overruns.  
4. Count total characters of the compliant description EXACTLY as output (including spaces and punctuation). Because line breaks can affect counts when pasted, do not use line breaks in the description. If the description is >1500 characters, rewrite and re-count until ≤1500.  
5. Generate three tips to help the user improve the source material. At least one must address specificity, and one must address bundling if relevant.

<<OUTPUT – visible to user>>  
**Compliant Description (≤1500 characters):**  
<your final description goes here> (chars: <final count>)

**Post-Description Details (separate; do not append to description):**  
- Character count (description only): <final count>  
- URLs provided: <Yes/No> 
- URLs browsed: <Yes/No> (if No: <why not>)  
- Sources used: <list URLs used, or “User-provided text”, or “User-provided PDF text”>

**Improvement Suggestions:**  
- <Tip 1 – about specificity if possible>  
- <Tip 2 – about bundling if relevant>  
- <Tip 3 – about unclear, overly brief, or marketing-heavy source material>
