What bid and tender writers prepare
Tender writers work through the buyer's questions, instructions, word limits and required attachments. They plan each answer against the evaluation criteria stated in the pack. They write method statements and quality answers, often adapting material from earlier bids. They check that every requirement in the pack has an answer before submission.
How Lucius AI helps
Lucius AI reads a public-sector tender pack and extracts every requirement into a register, with a citation to the page each requirement comes from. From that register it builds a compliance matrix. The contract terms are scanned for commercial risk, such as liquidated damages, liability caps and indemnities, and the tender gets a bid/no-bid verdict. Responses are drafted from the company's own past bids, kept in its Bid Library, and the work exports to Word, Excel and PDF. The catalog behind it is a live index of 230,000+ public tenders from 15 official sources in 170+ countries.
Bidders into New York events contracts compete under SAM.gov, FAR/DFARS, and state e-procurement portals. Sector-specific compliance bars include safety-advisory-group approval, event-safety planning, competent event-safety officers and accessibility plans. When a tender asks for any of them, Lucius lists that requirement with its page and a quote from the source.
