The challenge
BuildRight was a well-established regional contractor but almost entirely reliant on repeat clients. Their one-person bid writer was overwhelmed trying to find and respond to tenders manually. They were missing opportunities because by the time they found a tender, there was rarely enough time to write a quality response.
How KimonBids helped
KimonBids automated their tender discovery across construction CPV codes. With keyword alerts and AI matching set to their regions, BuildRight started receiving daily digests of scored, relevant opportunities. The bid writer used AI drafting to produce compliant first-pass responses, cutting their average bid preparation time from 12 hours to 4.
The outcome
BuildRight went from submitting 2 bids per quarter to 14, without hiring additional staff. Within 6 months they had won 3 new public sector clients across local authority maintenance and school refurbishment frameworks, adding £1.2 million to their pipeline.
"I used to spend Monday mornings just looking for tenders. Now that time goes into writing better bids. It has completely changed how we operate."
