In their own words

Where SuisseOffer falls short.

Taken from SuisseOffer’s own pages and from public reviews, each with its source.

  1. Built for the buyer’s procedure

    The suite digitalises procurement from need to award for the contracting authority. Writing a bidder’s offer is not part of it.

  2. Bidder AI stops at questions

    The AI help for bidders answers questions in the forum from the tender documents. It does not draft the offer from your company’s evidence.

  3. No public price

    Neither the homepage nor the WTO solution page gives a price.

Where Ziva goes further

What changes for your bid team.

The bidder’s side of a SuisseOffer tender

Download the tender package from the procedure and bring it into a Ziva project. Ziva reads it against your company knowledge and shows where you are strong and what only you can answer.

The authority’s files, filled in

Ziva fills the authority’s own Excel forms and price sheets in place and writes inside their Word templates, so the files you upload are the ones they asked for.

Swiss tenders, free to find

The public tender directory on zephior.com/tenders is free to browse without an account, so you can find tenders before you decide to bid.

What SuisseOffer does well

Switching

Moving from SuisseOffer to Ziva.

  1. 1

    Take one SuisseOffer tender

  2. 2

    Prepare the offer in Ziva

    Let Ziva qualify the tender, draft the offer and fill the authority’s forms. Questions to the authority still go through the procedure’s forum.

  3. 3

    Submit through the procedure

    Upload the finished files in SuisseOffer as the authority requires. Ziva has a first-month money-back right, so you can judge it on a real bid.
