For the small firms that bid on public contracts
Draft tenders that already know what the buyer is grading you on.
Plyform pulls every question and mandatory requirement out of the tender pack into a compliance matrix, drafts each answer from your own past bids and policy documents, then scores the resulting draft against the buyer’s published evaluation weighting — so weak answers get repaired before the deadline, not after the decision.
- Every answer scored against the buyer’s rubric, not a generic quality heuristic.
- A content library you own that gets sharper every tender.
- Priced in USD into the UK, US, Canada, EU and Australia.
- Three tiers: one-off, monthly, or human-reviewed.

How it works
Four steps, every tender.
Upload, compliance matrix, draft, score. Plyform runs the same loop on every bid — from a one-off Tender Pass to a monthly Studio month to a human-reviewed rewrite.
Drop in your tender pack and your own library.
Plyform reads the buyer’s ITT, RFQ, RFP or framework mini-comp from PDF, Word or a portal share. We pull every single question, every mandatory response, and every weighted criterion into one compliance matrix — no manual transcription, no missed questions.
In parallel, you upload your past bids, case studies, policies, CVs and certifications once. We index them as a private content library that ships with your account, ready to draft from.
Scoring
Scored against the buyer’s rubric, not a generic heuristic.
Most generic AI tools score a draft against the wrong test — a model’s own idea of what a good answer looks like. Plyform reads the buyer’s published evaluation rubric from the tender pack and scores your draft against it: the same weights, the same criteria, the same thresholds the buyer will use.
Where a draft is weak, the report tells you exactly which question lost marks, what gap caused the loss, and which entry from your library closes it.

Weighted fit
Plyform re-scored the draft after you answered Q8.1 and Q9.4 against the published buyer weighting. The two weakest sections were the ones we'd flagged before you submitted.

The compounding content library
The longer you stay, the better it gets.
Every Tender Pass or Studio month writes a fresh answer into your private library — cited to the question and the buyer. After a handful of tenders, the library is detailed enough that a new bid drafts most of itself from your own past work, and every answer gets sharper with re-use. It is the moat Plyform gives you against cheaper commodity AI.

Rubrics built per procurement system, not per language.
Public contracts are local — the criteria, the marks and the weightings are different on every portal. Plyform ships with the five where governments publish the highest volumes of contract notices to small firms.
United Kingdom
Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland publish 50,000+ notices a year. Plyform ships with the Social Value Model weighted into every rubric.
United States
SAM.gov micro-purchases, simplified acquisitions and best-value tradeoffs. Plyform reads your FAR-clause questions and flags the show-stoppers.
Canada
MERX, BCBid and the new Trade Agreements. Plyform draws the CCDC clauses, CCAT schedules and provincial preferences into one matrix.
European Union
TED/Supplement to the Official Journal, multi-lingual requirements, CE marking and social criteria baked into the rubric.
Australia
AusTender, state portals, Local Jobs First in VIC, Modern Slavery statements — all reflected in the buyer evaluation weighting.
