BidSkim brings contract renewal intelligence together with qualification against your business. If you are considering TenderLedger for buyer and competitor tracking, compare its £249 Pro plan with BidSkim Predict at £189 a month.
No card. No sales call. Explore BidSkim before choosing a plan.
An expiry date on an unrelated contract is not a lead. BidSkim uses your business profile to surface relevant renewal candidates, with buyer, incumbent and published contract evidence. Spend your research time on work you could realistically deliver.
Predict's renewal feed considers qualifying contract timing signals within the next 24 months. That gives you room to research a buyer before a deadline becomes urgent. Treat the dates as evidence for planning, then verify the buyer's next step rather than assuming a retender is guaranteed.
While you build future relationships, Monitor's matching continues to qualify live opportunities and relevant framework notices. Predict includes Monitor, so forward planning does not require a second subscription for the work open to bids today.
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
An expiring grounds contract could be a good future target, but a national estate bundle may exceed your capacity. Renewal research is more useful when the underlying work fits your team and operating area.
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.
The monthly subscription difference is £60, or £720 across twelve monthly payments. Annual subscriptions are £1,860 for Predict and £2,490 for TenderLedger Pro. Compare geographic coverage and workflow alongside the price.
