When speed is crucial: how madiba wins tenders with AI before others even submit them.

Challenge: slow tender processes led to missed projects

madiba supports international organizations in implementing development and aid projects. Tender management was a bottleneck: tenders had to be researched worldwide and evaluated, suitable expert teams assembled and application documents created manually, a process that took up to six weeks.

In an environment where the principle of first come, first served applies, this often meant that by the time the documents were ready, the suitable consultants were already assigned, and valuable opportunities were lost.

Solution approach: efficiency and competitive advantage through intelligent automation

Together with neuland.ai, madiba developed an AI-supported end-to-end system for tender management in just three months.

The solution now automates the entire process:

  • The AI searches global tender platforms for relevant projects.
  • It automatically assesses the suitability of each tender using traffic light logic.
  • Suitable teams are proposed from a network of over 600 freelance consultants.
  • The application documents are created with AI, directly in the appropriate language.Humans only step in to review and approve.
“The AI solution provides us with exactly the tenders that fit Madiba and our team with just one click.”
