From Drafting to Decision: How AI Is Reshaping the RFT Process

 

AI is transforming procurement at speed. Generative tools are making it significantly faster to produce tender responses—lowering the barrier to entry and driving a surge in submission volumes. But while output is increasing, clarity isn’t. Procurement teams are now facing more bids, greater similarity across responses, and growing pressure to separate genuine capability from well-crafted content.

This panel brings together AI experts from Unimarket and Tendl to explore how organisations can adapt. From managing rising response volumes and improving differentiation, to designing better tenders and using AI to track delivery post-award, the session will unpack how to maintain trust, transparency, and decision quality in an increasingly AI-driven procurement environment.
