The sustainability tender problem PrimeGreen solves with AI.
Every year, Australian suppliers respond to tens of thousands of formal tenders and hundreds of thousands of RFQs, quotes and proposals. The hard part is not just writing the answer — it is finding, calculating and proving the environmental data behind it. PrimeGreen uses AI to turn bills, receipts, policies and emissions records into evidence-backed sustainability responses.
This is the problem PrimeGreen solves: helping SMEs answer the 100,000–300,000 sustainability-related supplier response sections created each year with real data and AI-assisted drafting.
Approximate annual volume in Australia
A practical market sizing model for formal tenders, proposals, RFQs, quotes and sustainability response sections.
| Type of supplier response | Approx. buyer requests / year | Approx. supplier responses / year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formal tenders / RFTs | 25,000–30,000 | 75,000–180,000 | Publicly advertised tender market. Australian Tenders reports local government issued 12,106 tenders in FY2024–25, equal to 43.5% of all tenders by volume, implying about 28,000 total advertised tenders. |
| RFPs / proposals / EOIs / panel submissions | 10,000–30,000 | 30,000–150,000 | These often overlap with tenders and are not always separately reported. They are common in consulting, technology, construction, infrastructure, professional services and panels. |
| RFQs / quotes | 250,000–750,000+ | 750,000–2.5 million+ | This is the biggest volume. Many government and council procurements below tender thresholds require one, two or three written quotes. |
| Total supplier response events | 300,000–800,000+ | 1 million–3 million+ | Includes formal tenders, proposals, RFQs, quotes and invited supplier submissions. |
Market composition guide
The best simple estimate: more than one million supplier response events each year.
For PrimeGreen, the most relevant subset is sustainability, ESG, emissions, waste, environmental policy and evidence-based supplier response sections.
What SMEs are being asked
The market is growing because procurement is moving toward proof-based sustainability. The Australian Government’s Environmentally Sustainable Procurement Policy requires suppliers in covered categories to prove environmental claims and demonstrate compliance.
