Explore real case studies of how MyTender won significant contracts against AutoGen AI through superior response quality and AI flexibility that delivers measurable results.

MyTender Team

Customer Success

When one of the UK's largest facilities management companies switched from AutoGen AI to MyTender, they didn't mince words: "The quality difference was immediately apparent. AutoGen AI gave us generic responses. MyTender gave us winning bids."

This isn't an isolated case. Across the UK, organizations are discovering that when it comes to AI tender writing, quality and flexibility trump marketing hype every time.

The Quality Gap: Real Examples

Case Study 1: £45M Infrastructure Contract Win

The Challenge: A major construction firm was competing for a Highway England framework worth £45M over 4 years. They'd been using AutoGen AI for six months with limited success. AutoGen AI's Output:
  • Generic safety statements that could apply to any construction project
  • Boilerplate environmental policies with no site-specific considerations
  • Technical responses that missed key evaluation criteria
  • Cookie-cutter case studies that didn't align with project requirements
MyTender's Approach:
  • Context-aware responses that referenced specific highway sections and challenges
  • Dynamic case study selection matching exact project parameters
  • Intelligent cross-referencing ensuring all evaluation criteria were addressed
  • Sector-specific language that resonated with highways evaluators
The Result: Won against three competitors, all using traditional or AutoGen AI solutions. The client noted: "MyTender's responses read like they were written by our best bid writers on their best day."

Case Study 2: NHS Framework Success

The Situation: A medical supplies distributor needed to respond to a complex NHS framework tender with 127 quality questions across multiple lots. Where AutoGen AI Failed:
  • Repetitive answers across similar questions
  • Inability to maintain consistency across lots
  • Generic healthcare content without NHS-specific requirements
  • No understanding of Crown Commercial Service frameworks
How MyTender Delivered:
  • Intelligent variation ensuring each response was unique yet consistent
  • NHS-specific knowledge built into every answer
  • Compliance mapping to CCS framework requirements
  • Automated cross-lot consistency checking
Impact: 78% win rate across submitted lots vs 23% with AutoGen AI

The Flexibility Factor

AutoGen AI's Rigid Approach

Users consistently report AutoGen AI's limitations:
  • Fixed templates that force your content into their structure
  • Limited customization options for different sectors
  • One-size-fits-all AI that doesn't learn from your wins
  • Inflexible workflows that don't match real bid processes

MyTender's Adaptive Intelligence

#### Custom AI Training Unlike AutoGen AI's generic model, MyTender offers:
  • Organization-specific training on your winning bids
  • Sector-specialized models for construction, FM, healthcare, etc.
  • Continuous learning from every bid submitted
  • Style matching to maintain your unique voice
#### Workflow Flexibility Real bid teams need:
  • Multiple review stages with different AI assistance levels
  • Collaborative editing without losing AI capabilities
  • Flexible approval workflows matching organizational needs
  • Integration with existing bid management processes

> "AutoGen AI wanted us to change how we work. MyTender adapted to how we actually win bids." - Bid Director, Top 10 UK Construction Firm
