History.
I started working – first as an intern, then as a freelancer - for a consultancy company that helped their clients to participate in public tenders. My main task consisted of identifying relevant business opportunities. In practice, this meant that every morning, I had to visit 27 websites and look for newly published calls for tenders. Even back then, I began to wonder if this process could somehow be automated, apart from using bookmarks.

I was tasked to prepare the first bid from the beginning to the end. My 5-week effort resulted in a 6,5 kg package of paperwork which was NOT selected for funding.
Yours enthusiastically, Robert MISKUF, Founder of Tenderio
By the end of the year, I prepared or assisted in the preparation of over 20 bids, mainly in the transport, security and ICT sector. Most of them failed.

The first public contract awarded to the client thanks to the tender prepared by me. By the end of the year, I had been working on the implementation of 7 EU-funded projects.

I founded PEDAL Consulting, which has also built a “partner search” prototype thanks to which our client from Slovakia won a public contract in Bulgaria. Blown away by this experience, we wrote 17 proposals for other clients, all of them free of charge. Strong links with important international partners were established.
Yours enthusiastically, Robert MISKUF, Founder of Tenderio
PEDAL Consulting set up a pan-European network of consultancies specialised in public procurement enabling us to access the networks of over 41 companies from 30 European countries capable of speaking 16 languages. PEDAL Consulting won several public tenders and acquired new deals also for its international clients. In parallel the company prepared 42 bids.

Hitting the “magic 10,000 hour” experience, we decided to found Tenderio, the one stop-shop for public tenders. Tenderio brings under one single roof the world’s number 1 search engine for public tenders and a pan-European network of bid writers with their limitless partner search capabilities, to allow 300 selected companies accessing new public contracts anywhere in Europe.

In April 2017, Tenderio received an 18-month funding from the EU Programme for Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME) (GA No 739966), in order to further expand its services and increase SMEs’ participation in public procurement in EU. This new development phase of Tenderio is coordinated by PEDAL Consulting (Slovakia) and involves partners from Estonia (CIVITTA), Greece (Q-PLAN International Advisory), Portugal (GLOBAZ), and UK (Insight Publishers)
