Automating bid writing and scaling tender output with mytender.io

Meet DSM Demolition

DSM Demolition Limited is a leading demolition contractor based in Birmingham, West Midlands. With a team of 150 employees, they deliver specialist demolition services across the UK, serving both public and private sector clients.

The company has built a strong reputation for quality, safety, and reliability in the demolition sector. Their tendering team plays a crucial role in securing contracts, managing a high volume of bids whilst maintaining the quality standards that have made them a trusted name in the industry.

The Challenge

DSM Demolition's tendering team was experiencing frustration with the time required to generate first drafts of tender responses. This was reducing the time available to fine-tune and review responses to make them customer-specific.

While their quality scores were already at a very good standard, the team was conscious that the balance of time between drafting and fine-tuning was tipped the wrong way. The key challenges included extracting deliverables in a timely manner and having sufficient time for the quality review process at the back end of the bid cycle.

Managing between 5-10 bids per month, often working on multiple bids concurrently, the team needed a solution that would free up more time for the strategic work that ultimately affects quality scores.

The Solution

DSM Demolition started using mytender.io in November 2025, embracing all available features to maximise the volume of bids they could submit. The team utilises AI draft generation, requirement extraction, custom prompts, document analysis, and the tender library extensively.

A key part of their approach has been populating historic completed contracts into the tender library to improve the accuracy of responses. They upload method statements and Construction Phase Plans, which help answer the technical quality questions that tend to account for the highest percentages of quality scoring.

The platform integrates seamlessly alongside their CRM to track bid progress, enabling the team to extract deliverables much more easily and hone into requirements more efficiently.

The Results

Since implementing mytender.io, DSM Demolition is definitely spending more time on fine-tuning and less time on first drafts. The team is undoubtedly saving time at the front end of the bid cycle, which enables that saved time to be utilised at the back end for fine-tuning and aligning responses.

The volume of bids being worked on has increased significantly to 15-20 per month, though this also depends on the quantity and quality of opportunities passing through the bid/no bid decision and seasonal fluctuations.

The top benefits experienced include:

• Speeds up the process to produce drafts
• The ability to reference contract clauses and associated documents shows a greater understanding of the project(s) and relevance
• Speeds up the ability to analyse tender documents

With the team only in month 3 and a number of bids still awaiting outcomes, the full impact on win rates is yet to be measured. However, the transformation in how the team approaches bidding has been significant.
