Public sector and large commercial work is won on paperwork most trade businesses have no time to produce. Gaffer's tender writer keeps each bid with its client, deadline and value, drafts the standard sections with AI, and pulls answers you have already written from your bid library.
No credit card required · One platform · Web & Android (iOS coming soon)
A record per bid, with the sections drafted and the reusable answers kept.
Title, reference, client, client type, submission deadline and estimated value are held together, so a bid pipeline is visible rather than living in someone's inbox.
Standard tender sections are drafted from templates and your own business data, so you are editing a draft rather than facing a blank box at 11pm.
Responses go into your bid library and come back on the next tender, because the same questions are asked every time.
The tender writer connects to your bid library, live tender opportunities and accreditation portfolio.
No, and you should not want it to. It drafts the standard sections — company background, health and safety approach, quality management, environmental policy — from your actual business data, so you are editing something rather than starting cold. The technical and pricing content is yours.
It is most valuable there, because public procurement asks the most standardised questions. But the same content answers principal contractor PQQs and large commercial framework applications, which is where most trade businesses meet it first.
Tenders ask the same questions repeatedly. Once you have written a good answer on health and safety management or social value, it goes into the library and comes back on the next bid instead of being rewritten.
No. Gaffer is one price with everything included — the tendering tools are on the same plan as jobs, quoting and invoicing, with no per-bid or per-seat charge. That is deliberate: bid software is normally sold separately at several hundred pounds a year, which is exactly why most trade businesses never get near a tender.
