Bid Smart, Not Just More
Preparing a compliant, competitive tender response takes significant time — writing, gathering evidence, pricing, and reviewing. Most SMEs can sustain 4–6 quality bids per quarter. Spending that capacity on poor-fit tenders means losing both the bid and the opportunity cost.
The Tender Fit Score gives you a fast, honest assessment of how well your business fits a specific opportunity — scored against the criteria that actually matter: sector experience, contract scale, certifications, geographic coverage, and the procedure type. The breakdown shows exactly where you're strong, where you're exposed, and how to differentiate your bid if you decide to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a bid/no-bid decision?
- Before committing resources to preparing a tender response, experienced bidders assess whether the opportunity is winnable and worth pursuing. A bid/no-bid analysis weighs your fit against the requirements, competition level, contract value, bid effort required, and probability of winning. Skipping weak opportunities frees resources for tenders you can actually win.
- Where do I find the tender reference ID?
- The tender reference ID appears in the URL of any tender page on this site (e.g. /tender/2024-123456/...). It's also shown on the tender detail page and in the TED notice. Paste just the numeric or alphanumeric reference — not the full URL.
- How is the fit score calculated?
- The AI scores your company against criteria like sector experience, contract scale, geographic fit, technical capability, certifications, and procedure complexity. Each criterion is weighted by relevance, then combined into an overall score out of 10. The breakdown shows exactly where you're strong and where you're exposed.
- What does "Strong Bid" vs "Skip" mean?
- "Strong Bid" means the fit is good, the opportunity looks winnable, and the effort is likely justified. "Skip" means there are significant gaps — missing qualifications, wrong scale, or the opportunity is unlikely to be competitive. "Borderline" means the decision depends on factors only you can assess, like strategic importance or capacity.
