BidSkim Predict costs £189 a month and includes explained live matching, buyer profiles, competitor tracking and renewal research. If those are the reasons you are considering PSIP Growth at £599, BidSkim deserves a direct comparison.
No card. No sales call. Explore BidSkim before choosing a plan.
Predict brings supplier tracking and buyer profiles into the same plan as renewal research. If you are running business development yourself, that puts the central questions within reach: who buys this work, who wins it, and what could be coming up next?
BidSkim shows why an opportunity fits your capabilities and where practical concerns remain. Compare the explanations using your actual services and delivery limits. Look for whether the system understands the work you sell and catches reasons you should pass.
Open comparable contracts, examine the buyer's history and check incumbent exposure. Combine that research with framework entry information and your live shortlist. A well-informed decision to pass can be as useful as finding another opportunity.
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 cloud requirement may concern migration expertise, licence resale or a fully managed service. Compare whether the explanation identifies the work you deliver and any extra obligations you would need to meet.
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.

PSIP Essential at £199 already includes scoring, buyer spend analysis and an expiry tracker; Growth adds fuller intelligence, competitor tracking and other capabilities.
