BidSkim helps cleaning, security and facilities suppliers find the right work and research who buys it. If your priority is buyer intelligence, incumbent contracts and future renewals, compare Predict with CleanTender's focus on compliance checks and bid responses.
No card. No sales call. Explore BidSkim before choosing a plan.
A cleaning specialist should not have to read every integrated facilities tender to discover it also requires hard FM. BidSkim assesses the requirement against your capabilities and flags practical concerns, helping you concentrate on work your business can deliver.
Predict connects your research to buyer profiles, supplier award histories and comparable contracts. Investigate who currently serves the buyer and what similar published awards look like. Bring that context into the decision to bid.
Cleaning, security and grounds work often involves an existing provider. BidSkim's renewal feed highlights qualifying contracts with published timing evidence and the incumbent. Use it to research future targets while relevant framework notices help you identify routes into public work.
Start with the work you need the product to do. BidSkim's plan is shown beside every capability.

BidSkim reads the requirement against your business profile and gives you a reason to investigate or move on.
Describe what you deliver, where you work and the contract sizes you can take on. BidSkim assesses that fit alongside bid readiness, including relevant framework or certification requirements where the notice provides them.
Related wording can uncover work a narrow keyword search misses. Practical checks help keep an apparently relevant but unsuitable contract from becoming your next wasted afternoon.
Test the matching on your businessIllustrative qualification example
A facilities tender can include cleaning while requiring mechanical maintenance and building fabric repairs too. Read the scope and lot structure before committing time to a response for a much broader service.
Check the scope, location, scale and route to bid. Then read the explanation.
BidSkim turns public procurement records into a connected research trail, from the opportunity to the buyer, incumbent and comparable awards.
Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales. Open the source notice from the brief when you need to verify the published requirement.
Related notices and identified duplicates are grouped, while resolved buyer and supplier identities connect their histories. Follow the contract through the public record instead of treating each notice as unrelated.
Predict brings together buyer awards, supplier wins, comparable contracts and renewal dates. Source links and recorded timing let you check a signal before acting. Contract end dates are planning evidence, not promises of a new tender.
