Built for every side of a construction project
General contractors
Assess the complete project: divide the scope into work packages, see which parts need subcontractors or consortium partners, and weigh delivery risk against the contract terms before committing an estimating team.
Specialist subcontractors and installers
Find electrical, HVAC, plumbing or other specialist work hidden inside larger renovation and infrastructure tenders, where the tender title alone would never surface it.
Material and equipment suppliers
Match your products against the technical specifications and quantity schedules in the tender pack, and spot supply contracts and frameworks in construction materials and machinery.
Architecture and engineering consultancies
See which named specialists, professional registrations and comparable reference projects a design or supervision tender requires before deciding whether your team qualifies.
Construction tenders are won or lost in the details
Relevant work is difficult to find
Construction opportunities are often described broadly. A ventilation or electrical scope can sit inside a tender titled as a school renovation, invisible to a keyword search.
Tendly matches on your trades, project types, locations and contract sizes, and its AI search reads past the title into the tender's own documents, so specialist scopes inside larger projects still reach you.
Requirements are spread across many documents
Eligibility criteria, technical specifications, drawings, pricing schedules and contract conditions arrive as separate attachments, and any one of them can contain a disqualifying requirement.
Tendly reads the attachments from the source portal and answers questions across the whole pack, so requirements stop hiding in document twelve of thirty.
Pricing mistakes are expensive
A missed line in the bill of quantities, an item without a unit price, or a forgotten transport and subcontractor assumption can remove the whole expected margin.
Tendly extracts the priced items and quantities the pack states, flags lines without a price and inconsistencies between documents, so your estimators price a complete list instead of reconstructing one.
One contract clause can change the bid decision
Delay damages, retention, payment terms, warranty periods, price indexation and defects liability sit in the draft contract, not the tender notice, and each one moves the commercial risk.
Tendly's risk analysis reads the contract conditions and lists the clauses that affect margin and cash flow, before you decide to bid rather than after you win.
The bid needs evidence from several parties
Larger projects ask for reference projects, named specialists, certificates, subcontractor declarations, consortium agreements, guarantees and insurance, each with its own format and deadline.
Tendly lists every document the buyer expects, checks your draft submission for gaps, and a tender expert can assemble the full package with you when several parties are involved.
Everything you need to assess a construction tender

Tendly matches new construction tenders against what your company actually builds, and alerts you when something relevant is published or a deadline approaches.

Construction tender questions, answered
How can I find relevant construction tenders?
Tendly monitors more than 150,000 public tenders across 23 countries and updates daily. You can browse and filter live construction tenders by country and value, or build a company profile so matching and email alerts bring relevant projects to you, including specialist scopes inside larger tenders.
Can Tendly analyse a bill of quantities?
Yes. Tendly reads the pricing schedules and tables in the tender attachments, extracts the items and quantities they state, flags lines without a unit price and answers questions about specific items. It works from the published documents; it does not measure quantities from drawings.
Can Tendly calculate the materials required for a project?
Tendly extracts every material and quantity the tender documents state, grouped by work package, so nothing in the published pack is missed. Quantities that only exist on drawings still need a quantity surveyor; Tendly makes sure your team starts from a complete extract of what the buyer published.
Can Tendly research construction material prices?
Tendly does not fetch live supplier price lists. What it gives your estimators is the complete priced-item extract from the tender, the lines that need supplier quotations, and historical award values from comparable public contracts, so cost research is targeted instead of starting from a blank page.
Can Tendly identify work suitable for subcontractors?
Yes. Ask the chat which scopes sit inside a tender, such as electrical, ventilation or plumbing packages within a general renovation, and whether the contract allows subcontracting them. Specialists can also search for their trade across all construction tenders directly.
How does Tendly check construction tender requirements?
The requirements analysis reads the tender notice and attachments and lists eligibility criteria, required references, specialists, certificates, securities and submission documents. A compliance check then compares your draft submission against that list before you send it.
Can Tendly help prepare the complete construction bid?
The AI tools generate response documents, fill the buyer's official forms in their original format and review the pack for gaps. If you would rather hand it over completely, a Tendly tender expert can prepare every document in the bid for you: technical proposals, financial offers, forms, CVs and the compliance checks. You approve everything before submission.
Can Tendly help if we have never entered a public tender before?
Yes. The chat explains how public procurement works in plain language, the requirements analysis shows exactly what a specific tender demands, and the expert service can carry a first bid end to end so your team learns the process on a real project.
Can Tendly help us bid in another country?
Tendly covers 23 countries and answers in your language even when the tender documents are not. For a first bid in a new market, the tender expert handles the local portal, language and paperwork.
How can I identify a buyer's previous contractors?
Buyer intelligence shows a contracting authority's procurement history: who has won its construction contracts, at what values, and whether the same contractor wins repeatedly, which is often the single most useful fact when deciding whether to bid.
