Still buying by email and spreadsheet?
Three quotes in an inbox feels free. In reality it costs time, makes bids hard to compare and leaves no record if a decision is ever questioned.
| Email and Excel | TenderLock | |
|---|---|---|
| Writing the tender | Starts from a blank page or last year's document | AI drafts it from your brief, Red Team checks it |
| Fairness | Bids arrive at different times and can be opened early | Sealed until the deadline, opened together |
| Supplier questions | Scattered across email threads | One place, private or published to all |
| Comparing bids | Copy and paste into a spreadsheet | Checked against each requirement, with evidence |
| Scoring | Informal, hard to explain | Weighted criteria, named evaluators, reasons recorded |
| Audit trail | Whatever is left in the inbox | Append-only ledger and PDF reports |
| Cost to start | Your time | First live tender free |
