How it works
From brief to award in five steps
At every step the AI does the heavy lifting and shows its evidence. You stay in control of every decision.
1. Brief
Describe what you need
Tell TenderLock what you are buying, your budget and timing. Upload any specification you already have. The builder asks the follow-up questions a procurement lead would.

Get a draft, then challenge it
Tick the requirements and weighted criteria you want. Red Team then reviews the draft for gaps, contradictions and placeholders before anything is published.

Suppliers respond free, sealed
Invite suppliers from your directory. They respond free, ask clarifications before the clarification deadline, and their bids stay sealed until the closing date.

Check every bid with evidence
When the deadline passes, all bids open together. The compliance check reviews each answer against each requirement and quotes the evidence.

Score, award and record
Your evaluators score against the published criteria, award the contract and send letters. The full record is ready to export.
