TenderLift + SIMAP
SIMAP publishes the tenders. TenderLift helps you decide.
SIMAP is the official source for Swiss public procurement. TenderLift uses that data and adds a layer of analysis specific to your company — so you see quickly which tenders are genuinely worth it, and why.

TenderLift
The decision layer for your company
- Which opportunities genuinely deserve attention — and why
- What could prevent participation
- The prices at which similar contracts were awarded
- Who wins most often
- What changed, and why it matters
The operational problem
Finding a notice doesn't yet tell you whether it's worth bidding.
- Traditional monitoring relies on searches, keywords, CPV codes, and repeated manual checks.
- The same activity is described with different terminology, and a specialist service can be hidden inside a larger tender.
- Legal, financial, and technical requirements are spread across multiple attachments of tens or hundreds of pages — and later amendments change deadlines and conditions.
The same work, different names
- electrical switchboards distribution and control equipment
- building automation centralised technical management / BMS
- photovoltaics solar electricity generation
- IT support operation of ICT infrastructure

SIMAP shows what has been published. TenderLift helps you decide what deserves attention, whether you can participate, and how to prepare.
Empty cells mark functions that aren't part of the official portal's role — not a shortcoming, but a different mandate.
TenderLift doesn't replace SIMAP. It's exactly the kind of service that can be built thanks to the official data SIMAP makes available.
How companies test TenderLift
A trial run directly with the founding team
Companies that start today work directly with TenderLift's founding team. During the trial we:
- set up the company profile and relevant activities together
- set up multiple users on the same company profile
- compare the recommendations with the SIMAP searches you already use
- verify the quality of the Fit Scores and eligibility analyses together
- refine criteria and alerts quickly, based on your team's feedback
- support your users directly during the trial period
The goal of the trial isn't to show every feature — it's to check on real tenders whether TenderLift reduces manual work and improves opportunity selection.
What a successful test looks like
- Find at least one relevant opportunity that would be hard to spot with your current searches
- Qualify a tender more quickly
- Verify requirements and risks directly on the sources
- Receive precise alerts that reduce manual checks
- Gain useful insight on buyers, awards, and competitors
Questions we hear on calls
So, do we stop using SIMAP?
No — TenderLift makes SIMAP more valuable to your company.
Does TenderLift replace SIMAP?
No. SIMAP remains the authoritative source for notices, tender documents, Q&A, corrections, and electronic submission. TenderLift helps you find, understand, prioritise, monitor, and prepare around that official process.
SIMAP already has search subscriptions. What changes?
A SIMAP subscription reruns saved search terms and filters — for the official record, that's exactly its job. TenderLift additionally ranks each opportunity against your company profile, reads the accessible documents, surfaces blockers and unknowns, adds award-price context, and explains which changes matter.
Can't we just upload the documents to a general AI tool?
You can, and it helps. You still have to find the tender, obtain and organise the files, explain your company each time, and repeat everything after a correction. TenderLift's assistant is grounded in the official tender documents, your company profile, and 19 years of award history — answers come with references to the sources and stay current when the tender changes. You can even bring TenderLift's data into the AI tools you already use.
See how TenderLift connects to your AI toolsWhere does TenderLift get its information?
The official tender record comes from SIMAP. On top of it, TenderLift connects the accessible tender documents, 19 years of procurement history with more than 80,000 awards and their available prices, EU award history (TED), Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (SHAB) events, cantonal publication platforms, and the Swiss company register (ZEFIX). Every conclusion stays linked to its original source.
Does this work for one person as well as for a bid team?
Yes. A solo operator starts from a ranked shortlist instead of a national notice stream, with requirements and price context already assembled. A dedicated team gains consistent fit decisions, buyer and competitor history, and cited answers across the real tender documents.
