Pentimenti is an AI-native proposal automation platform built for organisations that win large B2B and public sector contracts. BDS clients get direct access — as a platform and through the Proposal as a Service offering.
Pentimenti reads your tenders, learns your organisation's voice and methodology, and writes proposals the way your best people would — compliant, compelling, and ready to submit.
The platform connects directly to your tender documents, maps every requirement to evaluation criteria, and generates structured, scored responses — flagging any gaps or compliance risks before your team reviews the draft.
Over time, Pentimenti learns from each bid — what won, what was scored highly, what language resonated with specific buyers — and continuously improves the quality and accuracy of every proposal it produces.
The BDS connection: Michael Steffens serves as Business Development Director at Pentimenti, bringing 30+ years of bid leadership directly into the platform's commercial approach. BDS clients benefit from direct access and priority onboarding.
Automatically parses any tender format — PDF, Word, portal download — and structures every requirement, criterion, and deadline into a working proposal plan.
Generates structured, scored responses for each section, cross-referenced against evaluation criteria and weighted scoring guidance.
Stores your best past proposals, case studies, CVs, and company content — and retrieves the most relevant material for every new bid, automatically.
Flags missing responses, word limit violations, and mandatory requirements before submission — eliminating the most common reasons bids are disqualified.
Enables your team to work on proposals simultaneously with tracked changes, comments, and version control built in.
Learns from every bid — improving language, structure, and content selection based on scoring feedback and win/loss outcomes.
Pentimenti handles the content production. BDS handles the strategy, qualification, and commercial positioning. Together, they cover everything from the first sight of a tender to a compelling, compliant submission.
