  • Your evenings go on reading

    One sample tender: 6 documents, 62 mandatory requirements, 26 days. Larger firms have a bid team.

  • One missed line and you are out

    Fail one pass or fail requirement and the rest may never be scored.

  • You learn too late it was never yours

    In one sample tender, 68 clarification answers ruled out a whole route to supply.

Or you know in one working day, and brief your team with a page number behind each point.

Your free first pack: your tender, already read

Normally £150Your first one: free

Why free? We are new. Judge us on your own tender, not on our word.

Our correction promise

No automated check can prove that a matrix is complete. If you find a scored question, a pass or fail requirement, or a required form that is in the tender documents and missing from our matrix, email us. We add it within one working day, and it does not use one of your two revision rounds.

A free first pack is corrected the same way.

Three live tenders. What the packs caught.

Sample packs on live public tenders, November 2026. Not client work. The bid or no-bid views are the pack's own.

  • Weightings found in one place only

    A housing association's cyber security tender put its weightings in the notice and nowhere else. The brief lists six questions to ask the buyer.

    Sample pack 1: notice 108226-2026, £140,000, 86 rows

    Read pack 1 in full

  • About 97 requirements, 26 pages

    In a finance system tender, each one is scored under a weighting printed on another page. The invitation says G-Cloud; the notice says open competition. The brief's view: a conditional bid.

    Sample pack 2: notice 103664-2026, £100,000, 192 rows
  • A no-bid, found on day one

    An academy trust's Microsoft licensing tender: 68 clarification answers rule out reselling through CSP alone. The brief's view: no-bid unless you are an education licensing partner or have one committed.

    Sample pack 3: notice 106142-2026, £525,000, 82 rows

Get your first bid pack free

You keep the pricing, the signatures and the submission. Revisions run until the tender's deadline, up to 30 days from delivery. Each pack is prepared for one tender and cannot be returned, so we do not refund once it is delivered. If we cannot deliver what you ordered, we refund you in full.

What else do you need to know?

Is the first bid pack really free?

Yes. One free bid pack per company, for a tender you choose, with no card needed. It is free because the service is new and we would rather you judge a pack on your own tender than take our word for it. It is the pack we sell for £150, with corrections but not revision rounds.

Do you use AI to write bids?

Yes, and we say so plainly. Bid packs and drafted responses are generated by AI, then automated checks test each quote against the page it cites. That is how a pack arrives within one working day at a fixed price. Some buyers ask bidders to declare whether AI was used, so we tell you how your documents were prepared.

What do I need to send you?

For a bid pack, the Find a Tender notice link, or the tender documents if they sit behind a supplier portal login. For a full drafted response, add what you have: company profile, case studies, CVs, policies and certificates. You can send everything by email.

Which tenders do you cover?

UK public sector IT tenders: managed services, software, cyber security, cloud, licensing and digital services, from councils, housing associations, schools, the NHS and central government. One pack covers one tender notice and one lot. If the documents are behind a portal login, send us the files.

What is in a full drafted response?

Everything in the bid pack, plus answers to the buyer's questions drafted from the material you send: profile, case studies, CVs, policies and certificates. Each answer lists the documents it used. Where your material does not support an answer you get a question, then one further drafting pass. You get a submission checklist too. We do not draft your pricing schedule.

What happens if the buyer changes the tender?

Buyers can issue amendments and clarification answers after we deliver. Send us the update and we revise your pack as one of the two revision rounds included with a paid order. The revision window runs until the tender's submission deadline, up to 30 days from delivery. A free first pack is corrected but not revised.

Can you guarantee that we will win?

Nobody can: buyers score bids under their own rules. What we promise is the part we control. If you find a scored question, a pass or fail requirement or a required form that is in the tender documents and missing from our matrix, email us and we add it within one working day, at no cost.

Can I speak to someone on the phone?

We work by email, so everything you send and everything we agree is in writing. That suits work where the buyer's exact wording matters. Send the tender link through the form or by email and your pack is back within one working day.

What does a bid writer do?

A bid writer prepares a supplier's response to a tender: working through the buyer's documents, separating what is mandatory from what is scored, and writing answers that address the scoring criteria. A bid writing service does that work for you, tender by tender. Ours does it with AI and automated checks, at fixed prices.

What is a compliance matrix?

A compliance matrix is a table listing the requirements in a tender: what the buyer asks for, where it appears, whether it is pass or fail or scored, its weighting and its word limit. Bid teams use it to check that each requirement has an answer before they submit.

Walk into your next bid knowing where you stand.

In the three sample tenders, questions to the buyer closed 12, 14 and 25 days before bids did. Ask while you still can.
