​
1. Create your account

Go to app.tendor.io/auth/signup and sign up with your work email or via Google or LinkedIn.
Tendor requires a work email address. Personal email domains (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) are not accepted.

​
2. Set up your workspace

After signing up you’ll be guided through the onboarding wizard:
1

Organisation profile

Enter your organisation name, industry, and location. This information is used to personalise your opportunity feed and help AI tools understand your context.
2

Invite your team

Add colleagues by email. You can also do this later from Settings → Team.
3

Choose a plan

Select the plan that matches how you want to use Tendor. Discovery is for finding and assessing opportunities, while Starter and Business unlock the full submission workflow. If a trial is available for your account, it will be shown during checkout.

​
3. Add reusable evidence

Open Evidence Library and upload reusable company documents such as:
  • Insurance certificates
  • Licences and accreditations
  • Policies and procedures
  • Capability statements
  • Case studies and references
  • Key staff CVs or profiles
Tendor shows how many reusable evidence files are available to AI analysis. These files can be used when checking fit, finding gaps, and preparing tender responses.

​
4. Add your first opportunity

From the dashboard, click New project and either:
  • Search the feed — find a tender or grant from the discovery feed and add it to your pipeline, or
  • Add manually — paste in a tender document or URL directly.
Tendor sets up a project workspace where you can keep the tender pack, supporting documents, analysis, and submission drafts together.

​
5. Run a qualification check

Before writing the full response, run Pre-qualification / Gap Analysis from the opportunity or Ask AI. The analysis should help you check:
  • What the tender is asking for
  • Mandatory requirements and pass/fail criteria
  • Where your organisation fits or does not fit
  • Hidden disqualifiers and red flags
  • Compliance, capability, evidence, and timeline gaps
  • Items a human reviewer should confirm
  • Whether to proceed, proceed with caution, or no-bid

​
6. Prepare your submission

Use the project workspace to review documents, draft responses, leave comments, track versions, and export files. AI can help draft or revise content, but your team should review every response before submitting.
