Buyer intelligence should fit your budget, too.
Choose BidSkim if you want to find the right public contracts, understand the buyer and see upcoming renewals without paying Stotles Growth prices. Predict brings that research together with a daily shortlist scored for your business, for £189 a month.
No card. No sales call. Explore BidSkim before choosing a plan.
You should be able to research a council, identify the incumbent and check competing suppliers before committing days to a bid. Predict puts buyer profiles, competitor tracking and renewal research in the same account as your scored opportunities. There is no separate intelligence product to assemble.
A broad service category can hide a poor fit. BidSkim assesses the requirement against your capabilities and checks practical constraints such as geography, contract size and the route to bid. Read the fit explanation before opening a tender pack. That is the standard to use when comparing shortlists.
Start with a relevant renewal, inspect the incumbent and buyer, then use the award history to prepare. Framework notices help you spot routes into future work. The value is having the evidence together when deciding where to spend your time.
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 ventilation notice could be a maintenance job, a supply-only purchase or part of a national facilities contract. Similar language can describe very different work. Your delivery capability and area decide which is worth investigating.
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.
