Production with a strong R&D component · Project owner advisory

Answering tenders in two days instead of three weeks

A firm that advises project owners now reuses its entire archive of past bids to produce new ones.

The problem

This firm supports project owners, and a large share of its business comes through tenders. Each response took about three weeks of work, even though the firm had already written many comparable ones. The knowledge was there, but it had to be found and adapted by hand every time.

The approach

  1. A one-day on-site audit with the team, to find where the time went and which tasks could be automated.

  2. An AI assistant built from past responses: the team finds the relevant content and produces a first draft of the bid, adapted to the new specifications.

  3. Hands-on adoption by the team, which now uses the tool daily with its existing subscriptions, with no heavy development and no new software to maintain.

The result

3 weeks → 2 days to prepare a tender response.

What's transferable

Any company that regularly answers tenders, writes sales proposals or produces technical documentation has an underused archive. The gain doesn't come from AI alone, but from how you structure what already exists so AI can make use of it.
