FAQs
How does Tender Assist help small businesses create tenders quickly?
Tender Assist uses AI drafting to generate tender responses based on your business information, past project experience, and the specific requirements of each government opportunity. Instead of starting with a blank page, you get a structured draft you can review and refine. This cuts the time most small businesses spend on a first draft from several days down to a few hours.
Do I need tender writing experience to use Tender Assist?
No prior tender writing experience is required. The platform guides you through each section of a government tender, prompting you to provide the details the AI needs to build a compliant, relevant response. Many small business owners who have never written a formal tender before have used Tender Assist to submit their first government bid.
Is Tender Assist suitable for Australian government tenders at both state and federal level?
Yes, Tender Assist is built specifically for the Australian procurement environment, covering opportunities on platforms like AusTender and various state government portals. The AI is trained on Australian government tender formats and evaluation criteria, so the responses it drafts align with what Australian procurement officers expect to see.
How does the AI drafting feature actually work when I create a tender?
You start by uploading or entering the tender documents and your business profile information, including your services, relevant experience, and company details. The AI then analyses the requirements and generates draft responses for each question or criterion in the tender. You review each section, make edits to reflect your specific situation, and finalise the document before submission.
Can I reuse content from previous tenders I have written in Tender Assist?
Yes, Tender Assist stores your past responses and business information so the AI can draw on them when drafting new tenders. This is particularly useful for capability statements, company overviews, and project experience sections that appear across many government bids. Over time the platform builds a library of your approved content, making each new tender faster to complete.
What types of small businesses in Australia use tender writing software like Tender Assist?
Tender Assist is used by trade and construction businesses, IT consultancies, professional services firms, cleaning and facilities companies, and many other SMBs that supply to local, state, or federal government. Any small business that regularly bids for government contracts or wants to start pursuing government work can benefit from automated tender writing support. The platform is particularly valuable for businesses without a dedicated bid writer on staff.
