Some of the reasons why customers prefer Tenderlake:
Tenderlake has more contracts. Tenderlake has more open contracts. Because Tenderlake collects contracts from so many sources, you can find all the relevant contracts in one place. This not only saves you time, but allows you to manage all contract notices in the same way.
AI Search that understands you. No need to fiddle with keywords or CPV codes. Just describe your products and services as you describe them to a prospective customers. Tenderlake understands what you mean - in any language. (We support keywords and CPV codes too, in case you prefer.)
Tenderlake also FINDS you more relevant contracts. Tenderlake learns the interests and preferences of you and all your stakeholders, to identify additional contracts that are relevant, but no one is searching for. It is an automatic safety net that stops you missing relevant opportunities.
Advanced Demand Signals. Know who likely have a current or future need for your products and services - and know why. Tenderlake analyse every procurement notice to see if it reveals a likely current or future need for your products or services. Needs that are not yet expressed in a public procurement. Examples:
A procurement notice for geotechnical analysis of a lot of land to build a new laboratory, will flag up this information to a supplier who sell scientific instruments. A new laboratory might mean new instruments.
A procurement of a set of chemical ingredients or scientific instruments will indirectly reveal a new focus of a research facility and flag this up to suppliers who are supplying instruments that are also usually part of the same research focus.
A procurement for wave sensors to be deployed on wave buoys, will flag this procurement up to a supplier specialising in coastal engineering services and explain why this is relevant.
Advanced Demand Signals are not only perfect for super-charging your business development efforts. Because they, in easy-to-understand language explains how a seemingly unrelated procurement is likely to be relevant for one of your products and services, it helps everyone but the most experienced person, frame the upcoming conversation with the prospective client.
Similarity Search. With one click, you can find the tender opportunities that are most similar to your ideal opportunities or your previous wins. Because Tenderlake compares the MEANING of notices, we can identify the most similar opportunities even when notices do not contain any shared words, phrases or CPV codes. It also works across countries and languages, so you can see which opportunities in one country that are most similar to your ideal opportunity from your main market.
Microsoft Teams and Slack integration. Tenderlake integrates with Microsoft Teams and Slack to dramatically streamline your tender-pipeline and improve collaboration with all stakeholders. Push tenders to any channel automatically or with one click.
Integrated Workflow. Tenderlake Workflow connect all the stakeholders throughout your organisation to the marketplace and to your central tender intelligence team. Tenderlake workflow helps your team coordinate qualification and assessment initiatives in a more efficient manner. Tenderlake Workflow learns the preferences and interests of every single stakeholder throughout the organisation, to identify additional relevant opportunities, no one is actively searching for.
API. The Tenderlake API lets customers pull trusted procurement intelligence into their own systems and AI pipelines. Secure, customer-scoped access to matched opportunities, AI assessments, and clear rationale, without outsourcing strategic advantage.
Tenderlake learns what you are looking for. Tenderlake learns what you are looking for. You don’t have to try and predict how buyers describe what you sell. Just use your own words and give feedback on the results presented to you. Tenderlake will quickly learn if some buyers use different ways of describing what you do.
Fast and efficient review of opportunities. No navigating to a new page (and back again) when reviewing search/alert results. Search/alert results are shown on the left side of the screen, full tender details on the right side. You will be surprised how much time you save.
Automate Tender Distribution and Coordinate Bid Interest. With Tenderlake, a central bid support team can fully automate the distribution of daily tender opportunities and provide recipients with an easy way of expressing interest in a bid. This provides a constant view of who is interested in pursuing a bid and helps avoid replicating the same work, potentially multiple times.
Quickly qualify tenders in or out - and report. Efficiently qualify procurement opportunities, track bid stages and report on tender intelligence activities. Makes it easy to report on and highlight the work that goes into sourcing and qualifying tender opportunities.
Monitor your competitors. Be notified every time a competitor wins a public contract. Learn why they won, how much the contract is worth, if they will be outsourcing it, if they won it alone, and much more. Great for competitive intelligence.
Monitor tenders from existing and prospective clients. Get an alert every time a specific organisation puts out a contract. Can be filtered so alerts are only triggered when the contract is for a specific product, service or supply. Can also be used on groups of organisations (e.g. major consulting companies) or types of organisations (e.g. universities or NHS trusts). Great for market intelligence.
Tenderlake makes it easy and saves you time. With Tenderlake you discover more great contract opportunities BUT spend less time doing so. Because Tenderlake learns the different ways buyers talk about the services you offer, you don’t have to spend time trying out endless different searches and spend time dismissing large volumes of irrelevant contracts.
Find awarded contracts that are coming up for renewal. Tenderlake will notify you in advance of a relevant contract awarded to a competitor is coming up for renewal. This is a great time to contact the buyer and explain why it could be time to consider an alternative supplier.
Easily identify the best CPV Codes to use. Anyone who has tried to find out which CPV Codes that should be use in a search knows it’s difficult and tedious. Tenderlake makes it easy as it shows which CPV Codes you should consider.
Tenderlake learns from your previous bids and wins. Based on your previous bids, wins – or just some contract notices you like – Tenderlake can create a rule that catches similar contracts when they are announced. It’s another easy way of creating a search that delivers without endless experimentation.
Organise notices into folders. Folders makes it easy to organise contract notices – just like emails. And, you can even create rules that automatically move notices into specific folders.
Check the quality of your alerts. Tenderlake keeps updated quality metrics for your different search alerts, so you are never in doubt about which ones that deliver the best results, and which should be reviewed.
