Future Thinkers spotlight | The future of tender management: Beyond the lowest bid

AI is changing tendering for both shippers and logistics providers, opening the door to bid evaluations based on quality, reliability, risk assessment and sustainability rather than price alone. 

Building on insights from Breakbulk’s Future Thinkers Initiative, this session explores how tender management itself will evolve in the coming years, and how AI-supported data and analysis can move procurement in breakbulk and project logistics beyond the lowest bid.
