Executive Summary

The submission is compliant and shows credible delivery capability, but is not presenting enough evidence to build evaluator confidence. Marks are being lost on generic project descriptions, unquantified outcomes and thin Management Systems and Social Procurement commitments — targeted rewrites can lift the Current Score to a Potential Score of 8.4/10 before lodgement.

THE PROBLEM

Contractors don't know how their tender will be assessed until after it's been submitted.

By the time the debrief arrives, the contract is gone. And even then, as a rule the panel's scores are never released to tenderers. No organisation is told how its submission performed against each criterion — the feedback rarely goes beyond "competitive" or "not competitive." ProcureHQ simulates the evaluation while there's still time to fix what's costing you marks.

Strengths
  • Three previous projects cited within the last five years, broadly comparable in sector (Response - Experience.pdf pp. 3–5)
  • Named referees provided for each project, including client organisation and role (Response - Experience.pdf p. 4)
  • Delivery team includes personnel with prior involvement on comparable community infrastructure works (Response - Personnel.pdf pp. 2–3)
Weaknesses
  • Project descriptions read as generic capability statements rather than project-specific narratives (Response - Experience.pdf pp. 3–5)
  • Outcomes described in qualitative terms with no supporting metrics for schedule, cost, safety or quality (Response - Experience.pdf p. 4)
  • Relevance to the current scope is implied rather than explicitly mapped against the Scope of Works items in the RFT (Response - Experience.pdf pp. 3–5; RFT - Scope of Works p. 8)
  • Limited project-specific detail on delivery in a live, occupied community environment (Response - Experience.pdf p. 5)
Missing Evidence
  • Quantified delivery outcomes against baseline programme, contract sum, LTIFR and defects at handover
  • Client performance evidence, contract performance ratings or referee statements
  • Comparable contract value bracket for each of the referenced projects
  • Project-specific examples of managing similar risks (staged handover, community interface, live services) in a comparable environment
Simulated Evaluation Committee Commentary

"The response demonstrates the tenderer is capable of delivering work of this type, and the three cited projects (Response - Experience.pdf pp. 3–5) are broadly relevant. However, the narrative reads as a general capability statement rather than project-specific evidence — outcomes are not quantified, relevance to the current Scope of Works is not explicitly mapped, and there is limited evidence of delivery in a comparable live environment. The score sits around the middle of the scale; a higher score would require quantified outcomes, an explicit relevance mapping and clearer evidence of comparable delivery."

Recommended Response Improvement

Restructure this criterion around the three most comparable projects, each presented on a single A4 page under fixed headings: Client & Referee, Contract Value, Scope Match, Delivered Outcome (quantified), and Risks & Mitigation. Explicitly map each project against the Scope of Works items in the RFT, and include at least one project delivered in a live, occupied community environment. Keep the total response within the page limit stated in the RFT.

Trust & Confidentiality

Your competitive advantage stays yours.

ProcureHQ is designed to protect your Tender Intelligence. Every evaluation uses only your uploaded Request for Tender, your Tender Response and ProcureHQ's proprietary Evaluation Intelligence — nothing from any other customer.

Evaluation isolation

Every evaluation runs independently, using only your organisation's documents.

Never used to help
another tenderer

Your submissions never inform recommendations for any other organisation.

ProcureHQ's Evaluation Intelligence is developed independently of customer content.

Recommendation
provenance

Every recommendation is internally validated against your own uploaded documentation.

Unsupported recommendations are automatically suppressed.

You’re always
in control

Permanently delete evaluations and uploaded documents whenever you choose.

Why this matters

Most AI tools learn from everything they process. ProcureHQ was built differently: isolated evaluations, independently generated recommendations, validated before they’re presented. Your Tender Intelligence remains confidential.

The question everyone asks

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Writing a tender and evaluating a tender are completely different tasks.

ProcureHQ is built to assess your submission the way a Government Evaluation Committee does.

General-purpose AI

Built to generate. Not to evaluate.

  • Generates content from prompts

    Designed for conversation, not evaluation.

  • Doesn’t assess against your evaluation framework

    It isn’t built to score against published criteria and assessment requirements.

  • Responses vary with prompts

    Not a consistent, repeatable evaluation methodology.

  • Not purpose-built for Government evaluation

    Lacks the structure, rigour and context of a real Evaluation Committee process.

  • Privacy depends on the platform you choose

    Your data may be stored or used to train AI models outside your control.

ProcureHQ

Built to evaluate. Designed to improve your score.

  • Evaluates your submission

    Scores directly against the published evaluation criteria and assessment requirements.

  • Methodology-driven and repeatable

    Structured evaluation methodology that mirrors how Government Evaluation Committees assess.

  • Consistent, transparent and explainable

    Every evaluation is consistent, structured and criterion-by-criterion — using the same rigorous methodology.

  • Built on real evaluation experience

    Developed from ~15 years of procurement evaluation experience across 1,000+ tender responses.

  • Your data stays private

    Your submissions remain isolated within ProcureHQ and are not used to train public AI models.

Generic AI can help you write a tender.

ProcureHQ helps you determine how it will be evaluated.

Consensus scoring has never been made public — it isn't in any AI's training data. It exists only in the experience of the people who sat on the panels.

About Lewis

The evaluation experience behind the platform.

Lewis has approximately 15 years of real-world Government evaluation experience across Infrastructure, Rail, Roads, Maritime and Professional Services, including Design, Environmental and Technical Services. Most of them came from firms exactly like yours — Tier 2 and 3 contractors and consultants competing for Government work.

Over that time, the same recurring evaluation characteristics kept appearing submission after submission — the patterns that erode panel confidence, and the patterns that build it. Those recurring characteristics were documented into a structured set of Evaluation Decision Signals.

Those Evaluation Decision Signals now power ProcureHQ. The Digital Submission Evaluation Committee, the Tender Intelligence Framework and the High-Scoring Templates Library all draw from the same first-hand panel experience.

FAQ

What bid teams ask us first

How accurate is the evaluation?+

The Digital Submission Evaluation Committee applies the recurring Evaluation Decision Signals observed across hundreds of competitive Government tender evaluations to assess your submission. While it won't replicate any individual Evaluation Committee's exact score or reasoning, it is designed to identify many of the same weaknesses, missing evidence and evaluator confidence issues commonly raised during real tender evaluations.

Does ProcureHQ predict tender outcomes?+

No. ProcureHQ produces a simulated, AI-assisted evaluation for guidance only — it does not predict or guarantee the outcome of any actual procurement process. Evaluation is inherently subjective and price-competitive. ProcureHQ helps you understand how your submission may be assessed and identify strengths and gaps against the published criteria, so the version you lodge is materially stronger than the version you started with.

Will I ever see the panel's actual scores?+

As a rule, no. Government evaluation panels do not release consensus scores to tenderers — no organisation is told how its submission performed against each criterion, and debrief feedback typically extends no further than whether a submission was 'competitive.' ProcureHQ was built to close that gap: an independent, criterion-by-criterion evaluation showing how your tender is likely to score, informed by the founder's experience chairing hundreds of evaluation panels — delivered before you lodge, while you can still act on it.

Is my information confidential?+

Yes. Uploaded documents remain your intellectual property, stored in isolated, access-controlled storage visible only to your organisation. You can permanently delete evaluation data at any time.

Does AI train on my submissions?+

No. Your submissions are never used to train, tune or improve any AI model, and are never used to benefit any other customer or competitor. AI processing is performed solely to produce your Tender Evaluation Report.

How are scores determined?+

Every extracted criterion is scored 0–10 against the recurring Evaluation Signals — covering scope understanding, evidence quality, delivery confidence, coverage and uplift opportunity. Each score is accompanied by committee comments, weaknesses, missing evidence and Recommended Response Improvements.

How is this different from ChatGPT?+

General-purpose AI can help write a tender. ProcureHQ was purpose-built to evaluate one. Built on approximately 15 years of Government procurement evaluation experience, ProcureHQ's Digital Submission Evaluation Committee is powered by proprietary Evaluation Decision Signals developed from recurring patterns observed across more than 1,000 tender responses and hundreds of competitive Government tender evaluations. It is designed to emulate how experienced Government Evaluation Committees build confidence in tender submissions.

How many times can I re-run my tender?+

Re-run allowances are set per plan: Free includes 1 re-run on your single tender; Professional includes up to 5 re-runs per tender across up to 3 tenders per subscription year; Premium includes unlimited re-runs per tender on unlimited tenders, subject to our acceptable use policy set out in the Digital Product Terms. The intended workflow is: evaluate, improve, re-evaluate, repeat — until your Current Evaluation Score and Assessment Confidence match the standard you want to submit.

Can multiple users collaborate?+

Multi-user collaboration and organisation management are on the roadmap. Today the platform supports a single evaluator account per organisation — team invites are being added in a subsequent release.

Is ProcureHQ for procuring agencies?+

No. ProcureHQ is for organisations bidding on Government work — it evaluates your tender submission against the published criteria before you lodge it. It is not a tool for agencies running procurements.

Evaluate your tender before the Evaluation Committee does.
