Company Description

Tendor is an Australian company focused on making government procurement accessible and equitable for businesses, particularly SMEs. The platform aggregates opportunities from multiple government portals into a single interface, simplifying discovery and reducing administrative barriers. Using AI, Tendor translates complex, bureaucratic requirements into clear evaluation criteria and automates compliance-heavy drafting of tender responses.
