From a tender pack to answers you can submit.

  1. Bring a tender, or let us find one.

    Upload a pack from any buyer, or pick from the public-sector tenders Taypra finds on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland. It reads every document and tells you whether the tender is worth bidding.

  2. Get drafts written to the marking scheme.

    Each answer follows what the buyer scores highest. Your own contracts, figures and certificates are the proof, and each one is cited. Method and commitments are drafted for you to confirm.

  3. Confirm, fill the gaps, submit.

    Tick the commitments you will stand behind. Answer the short gap questions. Check every claim against its source. You decide what goes to the buyer, and Taypra never submits anything for you.

No contract, figure, client or accreditation from your past appears unless your own documents show it. New commitments are marked for you to confirm.

In their words.

“Taypra finds the public tenders that genuinely fit what we do and tells us which are worth our time. We used it to write and submit our first bid in hours rather than days.”
Will WoodHead of Business Development, SIYTE
“The difference from a chatbot is real: pulling evidence from a client's own documents first, then only using AI to tidy up what was found, is the right way to build this. The approach will earn trust with cautious public sector buyers.”
Darshan ChandaranaPartner and Head of AI, Grant ThorntonA personal view.

What others spend. A mid-value tender typically needs at least five working days of focused writing (about 37 hours), before input from operations, finance and social value. Source: Tender Consultants, 2026.

The median UK bid writer contract rate is £500 a day (about £67 an hour), and freelance rates run from £30 to £100 an hour. Sources: IT Jobs Watch and Your Tender Team.

How we worked this out
  • Hours per bid is the total across everyone involved: operations, finance, social value and whoever writes the response. The cited 37 hours is focused writing time, a minimum, before that input.
  • The hourly rate includes overheads.
  • With Taypra = the cheaper plan for your number of tenders, plus the share of your team's time still needed (our assumption, 35% to start, which you can change). That share covers reviewing, pricing, filling gaps and submitting. If you outsource today, the same share of your own team's time is added.
  • Hours back is capacity for more bids, not necessarily a cash saving.

Simple, monthly, no annual commitment.

Questions.

What counts as a tender?

A tender is one live submission for one deadline. Separate lots that need materially different responses may count separately. A clarification round on the same submission does not.

Do you train AI on our documents?

No. Our two AI providers are contracted not to train on your content.

Where is our data stored?

In Postgres in the London region. To search and draft, text passages are processed by two named US providers, Voyage AI and Anthropic. Full detail on our security page.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

A chatbot writes fluent text from whatever it was trained on, and will invent a contract or an accreditation if the question seems to want one. Taypra drafts only from your own documents, links every claim to its source, and lists what is missing instead of filling the gap.

Who submits the tender?

You do. A named person at your firm reviews, completes and submits every tender.

Where do opportunities come from?

Bring any tender from any buyer. For public-sector work, we also check every notice published on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland several times a day. More sources are being added.

Who can use it?

One Author runs tenders; reviewers and contributors are free on Bid.

Ian Pratley, CEO, has led hundreds of bids, some worth up to US$200m each, across 25 years in senior roles at Oracle, Cisco and ServiceNow. He knows how long and complex bid writing is: gathering large amounts of information, keeping it accurate and up to date, and shaping it to what the buyer will score. Taypra is built to take that weight off small teams.
