Win tenders on evidence, not guesswork
Every tender in one pipeline and every piece of evidence in one library. Silva Tender reads the tender pack, checks the requirements against your documents and drafts answers that cite the page for every fact.
Deadlines in someone's head. Evidence everywhere else.
- Deadlines live in memory, email threads, or a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.
- The same qualification questions get answered from scratch on every new tender.
- An insurance certificate expires between submission and award, and nobody notices until the buyer does.
- General-purpose AI writes confident answers that your evidence can't back up.
One workspace, from first sight to submission
Seven screens carry the whole bid. Pick one to see what it does.
Know what's live, what's due and what needs you
Open the app to your weighted pipeline, the next 45 days of deadlines and every bid in progress. Anything that needs you, from a clarification window about to close to an insurance certificate about to expire, is flagged under Needs attention.
- Weighted pipeline value, win rate and the size of your evidence library
- A 45-day timeline of submission and clarification deadlines
- Alerts for closing clarification windows and expiring certificates
- Bids in progress, with approvals and open gaps
Every tender you're chasing, on one board
Drag a tender from identified to qualifying, drafting and submitted, or switch to a sortable list. Paste the tender notice and the form fills itself in: title, buyer, reference, value, dates, term and region.
- A drag-and-drop board that works with a mouse, touch or keyboard, plus a list view
- Value range and deadline on every card, plus bid progress once writing starts
- Paste a notice and the details fill themselves in
- Win and loss reasons kept on record
The tender pack, read for you
Drop in the buyer's documents and Silva Tender writes a brief: value, term, evaluation, key dates, mandatory requirements, TUPE, risks and the questions to ask the buyer. Every line links back to the page it came from.
- Key dates and evaluation weighting pulled out of the pack
- Mandatory requirements and TUPE in one place
- Each line cited to the page in the buyer's documents
- A bid/no-bid scorecard alongside, to decide before you write
Know you qualify before you write a word
Requirements are extracted from the pack and checked against your evidence, then marked met, partial or gap. A certificate that runs out before the expected award date is caught here, not by the buyer.
- Requirements extracted from the tender pack, with page references
- Each one checked against your evidence, citing the document and page
- Flags certificates that expire before the award
- Export the matrix as a spreadsheet (CSV)
Ask "do we qualify?" and get an answer you can check
The agent answers only from the files you attach, the tender's pack, or the most relevant documents in your library. Every fact carries a citation that opens the source at the right page, and each answer shows how well it's grounded.
- Scope a chat to a tender, or attach the documents you want it to read
- Every fact cited to the page, with a grounding score on each answer
- Strict mode, "Use in a bid" and export to Word
One library of evidence, kept current
Drop in accounts, insurance certificates, accreditations, policies, case studies and CVs. Each file is read page by page and searchable inside, and any certificate with an expiry date is flagged before it lapses.
- PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, RTF and text, read in the browser, with scanned PDFs flagged for OCR
- Categories, specific titles and expiry dates
- Search inside every document, and see which bids each one supports
Draft, review and approve every answer
Pull the questions out of the pack, then draft each answer from your evidence within the word limit. Gaps are marked [EVIDENCE NEEDED] instead of invented, and an evaluator-style review scores each answer out of 10, so you can fix it before you approve it.
- Drafts within the word limit, cited to your evidence
- Improve an answer: shorter, more evidence, social value or plain English
- A review that scores like an evaluator and lists what to fix
- Version history, approvals, and export to Word or PDF
