The process

From a 412-page RFT to a decision you can defend.


A tender lands. Somewhere inside it is the one clause that changes the answer. selrob reads all of it — every schedule, every addendum — and walks it through the same four steps, every time.

Step 01 · Ingest

Drop the whole pack. All of it.

The RFT, the addenda, the pricing schedules, the annexures — a dozen files and four hundred pages. selrob takes PDF, Word, Excel and zipped bundles as they arrive. Nothing gets summarised away before it is read.

Why it matters: the clause that sinks a bid is rarely in the cover letter. It is on page 340 of a schedule nobody opened.

Step 02 · Read & extract

Every criterion, clause and deadline — pulled out and cited.

Mandatory criteria, the capability matrix, certifications, key dates and the liability clauses come out as a structured list. Each one links back to the page it came from, so nothing rests on trust.

Why it matters: you stop running Ctrl+F across forty PDFs and start reading the three things that decide the bid.

Step 03 · Test against you

Scored on the three axes that actually decide it.

selrob holds the tender up against your firm — not a generic benchmark. Does it advance your strategy? Can you deliver it within capacity? Is the risk one you can carry? Each axis is scored, and every flag names its clause.

Step 04 · Decide

Every opportunity lands in one ledger — with the call already made.

Bid, no-bid, or review. Each row carries the fit, the capacity note, the risk flag and the recommendation, so a partner can scan the week’s pipeline and know exactly where the working is. The no-bid gets made in week one, not week three.
