Taming a tender with AI

13h50 - 14h40 Steve Randles / Director at Khanyisa Real Systems
Steve Randles - Business Analysis Summit 2026

A case study in how AI helped Steve Randles and his team complete a highly technical tender in a very short space of time, with a high-quality proposal as the outcome.

From summarising requirements to creating checklists for the team, generating project plans, risk matrices and RACI matrices, the team used AI throughout the process — even adapting images of the product being pitched, anonymising data, writing captions and generating training material. The final proposal was scored by AI against the evaluation criteria before submission, and the tender progressed through to the second round.

Key Takeaways

  • Do you really know how powerful AI can be?
  • If you don’t get up to speed, your competitors will.
  • When approaching a new task, think AI first.
