Get my free 12-month report No card · No sales call · Illustrative example: your report is built from your answers

Built for small suppliers without a bid team.

A good fit if

  • You bid for public sector work, or want to start
  • Your alerts match a word, not your work
  • You'd rather hear about a renewal months early

Not for

  • Private sector tenders
  • Tenders outside the UK

Questions, answered straight.

How is this different from portal alerts?

Portal alerts give you another inbox to search. BidSkim replaces them with one shortlist across 653 buyer sites: every notice read, scored against your business and explained in plain English. You see the contracts that fit, not another keyword dump.

What exactly is in the free report?

A 12-month lookback built from your answers: every awarded contract our scoring would have flagged for your business, the total matched value, month-by-month timing, and the frameworks and DPS agreements that matched too. You also get up to 3 suitable matches across open tenders and upcoming pre-market opportunities, with full details and why they fit. If fewer opportunities qualify, we show fewer. It runs on the same 800,000+ notice dataset as the paid product.

Do I need a card or a call?

No. Signup takes about two minutes, the report is generated from your answers, and nobody phones you. The report stays yours whether or not you ever subscribe.

Where does the data come from?

From the official UK procurement record: Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales. Together they bring 63 named tender portals and 653 buyer sites into BidSkim. We read them every morning, collapse the duplicates and score the contracts against your business.

Can I use BidSkim inside Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. BidSkim ships an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-capable assistants can query your tender data directly: renewals in your region, live matches, buyers and suppliers. One-click setup at bidskim.com/mcp.

What does it cost after the report?

Monitor costs £79 monthly, or £780 billed annually (equivalent to £65/month). Predict costs £189 monthly, or £1,860 billed annually (equivalent to £155/month), and adds renewal radar, buyer requirements and buyer contacts. Every paid plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I track competitors?

Yes. Track any supplier and BidSkim watches their public-sector record: every award they take, the buyers they win with, contract values, and when their existing contracts are likely to return to market.

What is a renewal signal?

Most public contracts are re-procured rather than invented. We estimate when existing contracts are likely to return to market and flag them months ahead, with the incumbent and the buyer's history, so you can start the conversation before the tender appears.

Every contract that fits you, every morning.

See the contracts you missed last year, and the best one open right now.
