Everything you need to run a fair, fast tender
Build it with AI, run it sealed, decide it with evidence. Every feature is designed so the AI helps and a named person stays accountable.

Create a tender you can stand behind
Tell TenderLock what you are buying in plain English. It asks the follow-up questions a procurement lead would ask, then drafts the scope, requirements and evaluation criteria for you to review.
Learn more → Red Team reviewRed Team reads your draft the way a sharp bidder or an auditor would. It flags ambiguity, contradictions, missing information, placeholders and criteria that do not match your weightings, with a fix you can apply in one click.
Learn more → Supplier directoryKeep every supplier in one address book. Add a company by name and TenderLock pulls its official Companies House record, including status, registered address, officers and filing history.

Keep the process fair and on time
Supplier responses stay locked until the deadline passes. The deadline is enforced on the server, not on trust, and every bid opens at the same moment for a fair, defensible process.
Learn more → ClarificationsSuppliers ask questions against the whole tender or a specific requirement. You decide whether each answer stays private or is published to every supplier, and a separate clarification deadline keeps the timetable on track.

Choose the right supplier, with evidence
Once bids open, TenderLock checks each response requirement by requirement. Every finding quotes the evidence from the supplier's answer or document, and "unknown" is a real answer when the evidence is not there.
Learn more → Evidence-locked evaluationScore every bid against the criteria you published, with AI score suggestions that show their reasoning and evidence. Your evaluators own the final score, and every override is recorded with a reason.
Learn more → Audit trail and reportsEvery invite, question, amendment, score change and AI action is written to an append-only ledger. Export a tender report or a full AI provenance report whenever a board, auditor or unsuccessful bidder asks how a decision was made.
