Common questions
When do the 72 hours start?
When we have your completed questionnaire and the tender documents. If the deadline is closer than that, tell us in the questionnaire.
What if the draft isn't good enough?
Don't pay for it. You can see a preview first and only pay if you want the full draft.
Can you promise we will win?
No. Buyers decide contracts, and nobody can promise a win. We write a clear, compliant answer to what the buyer asked for.
Can we use AI on a public sector bid?
Yes. Cabinet Office guidance (PPN 017) does not prohibit it. You check and sign off every fact.
Will you submit the bid for us?
You do, in minutes, with our paste-ready pack and upload checklist.
Is TenderBrief part of the government?
No. TenderBrief is a trading name of Brookhold Ltd, a private company.
