BidSkim is a Tracker Intelligence alternative for suppliers who want procurement research built around their own business. Start with explained tender matches, then use Predict to investigate buyer history, competing suppliers and approaching contract renewals.
No card. No sales call. Explore BidSkim before choosing a plan.
A large database is only useful if you can find the work that fits. BidSkim assesses your services, operating area, contract appetite and bid readiness. Each match comes with an explanation, giving you something concrete to accept, question or reject.
With Predict, open the buyer profile behind an opportunity, check its award history and inspect the incumbent. Look at supplier wins and comparable contracts before deciding how much bid time to commit. You can do the initial qualification and supporting research in one place.
Framework and DPS opportunities appear alongside relevant tender notices, with published entry information. Predict's contract renewal signals give you another way to identify future targets. A framework application and an incumbent contract ending are different opportunities, and the route matters.
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 electrical category can include inspections, product supply or a complete construction package. The useful shortlist separates your specialist maintenance work from projects that need a principal contractor.
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.
