Write tender responses without starting from a blank page
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.
Replaces hoping for word of mouth. Repeat and referred work costs nothing to win, and this goes and gets it.

Step 06 of the job: paid
The customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Direct Debit. Xero or QuickBooks are updated. A review request goes out. And eleven months later, the annual service reminder books the next job.
Tender writer is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What does tender writer replace?
For most trade businesses, hoping for word of mouth. Repeat and referred work costs nothing to win, and this goes and gets it.
Does tender writer work on a phone, and offline?
Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.
