About this listen
In this episode of AI Horizons, host Jonathan Blaber sits down with Sandy Boxall, CEO of Contract Finder Pro, to explore how AI is transforming the painful world of public sector bid writing. Sandy shares his journey from decades of selling into government at large corporates to spotting a critical gap in how tenders are found, managed, and written - an idea that first took shape over a few pints in the pub with his co-founder, Dave.
Sandy lifts the lid on why traditional bidding is so broken: scattered case studies, inconsistent tone of voice, frantic last-minute edits, and risky “creative” claims that can even jeopardise contracts under new procurement rules. He then explains how Contract Finder Pro uses multiple LLMs working together with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to storyboard, draft, and evaluate bids - without inventing facts.
Jonathan and Sandy dig into ROI, time savings of 30–50%, and how AI tools can both boost win rates and finally give SMEs a fair shot against big players. They wrap up by looking ahead to a future where smarter bidding doesn’t just help suppliers - but also delivers better value for taxpayers.
