Most tenders are not lost on capability. They are lost on paperwork.
Non-compliance
A missing document, a breached word limit or an unmet mandatory requirement. A bid that fails compliance may never be scored on quality.
Claims without evidence
Every bidder says they are responsive. Evaluators can only score what they can point to: numbers, dates, names and sources.
Recycled copy
An answer written for another buyer answers another question. Evaluators notice, and it will not reach the top of the scale.
How evaluators really score.
Practical guidance for directors who bid, written from the buyer's side of the table. New articles every Tuesday.
Capable firms lose public sector tenders for three avoidable reasons. An evaluator explains where the marks go and how to keep them.
You can buy knowledge. You can never buy experience.
I am Christine, the founder of Grow Smat. I have read tenders from both sides of the table.
I have more than fifteen years in procurement, across the NHS, local government and the private sector, and over two decades in business. I have run tender exercises and sat on the panels that score them.
What I saw, again and again, was capable firms losing on paperwork. Grow Smat exists to fix that. I use AI to do the heavy lifting, and my evaluator's judgement to make sure every answer earns its marks.
