Tendline is an applied AI company that wins public tenders together with partners, with AI systems purpose-built for procurement and developed alongside bid experts.
A new era of public procurement.
A new era of public procurement. Every time procurement has changed, the change happened on the buyer's side. This time it happens on the supplier's side: AI systems do the bid work, and what decides is what the supplier can deliver.
2031: When a European supplier wants to win a public contract, it goes to Tendline — because our systems have seen more competitions, understand the buyer better and write bids that win more often than anyone else's.
Who Does What
Our partners are qualified suppliers who could bid on their own, and often have. What changes with Tendline is where their hours go.
Tendline
Tendline's bid experts and AI systems carry the weight of the work. Tendline finds the competition and reads every annex. Tendline builds the requirement matrix, prices the offer, writes the response criterion by criterion and assembles the submission. Between competitions, Tendline tracks contracts about to expire and notices matched against what the company delivers, and sends the partner a daily brief on both.
The partner
The partner brings what only the partner can, such as confirmed capacity, references, valid certificates and the plain facts of what the company delivers. The partner decides whether to bid, what to offer and at what price, and whether the bid goes out. Nothing is submitted without a named person at the partner approving it.
The partner's own people stay on the work the company is already paid for, and the response they sign is written against the criteria the buyer scores. What the partner knows about its trade, its buyers and its competitors is built into the systems along the way. The next bid starts from more than the last one did. The outcome is decided by the capacity to deliver more bids, and by the probability of winning them.
For Contracting Authorities
A bid that has passed through Tendline arrives complete, in the formats the notice asked for. Every requirement in it is traced to a document the supplier holds. Tendline answers the criteria as they are written and holds each question to the authority for a named approver. No claim goes in that the supplier has not confirmed. The result is more of the market competing for the contract, and fewer bids rejected on form before anyone reads them.
About us
We win public tenders together with partners.
A public tender is not decided by whoever writes best, but by whoever scores the most points from the contracting authority. That judgement is learned only by submitting yourself, many times.
Finn Magnus Torall has done that since he started Milrab in 2005 and built the company to 832 million kroner in revenue, on contracts with defence, police and health, in Norway and abroad. After Milrab came consulting, where the suppliers who got help with their own bids won public tenders worth over 200 million kroner.
Jo Bjordal, co-founder of Tendline, wrote bids for and delivered projects to the public sector and state-owned companies at PwC, including Bufetat, Ruter, Statnett and Telenor. He then led large commercial organisations abroad, as Chief Marketing Officer of ZALORA Group in Southeast Asia and later as VP at Superside through the company's transition to an AI-driven service.
Tendline is the same work, done with AI systems that learn from every score. Finn and Jo have both stood on the supplier side when the points came back, and both write the code.
