BidSkim is the Tussell alternative for suppliers who need a decision on what to pursue next. Get a daily shortlist matched to your services, then investigate the buyer, incumbent, comparable awards and contract renewal timing in Predict.
No card. No sales call. Explore BidSkim before choosing a plan.
Knowing which organisations buy your services is useful. Knowing which published requirement fits your business is actionable. BidSkim brings capability-based qualification to the front of the workflow, so your morning starts with opportunities to assess rather than an open-ended research task.
Follow an opportunity into the buyer profile. Inspect previous awards, the suppliers that keep winning and the categories the buyer purchases. Where research is available, review procurement requirements too. Use the history to sharpen your questions and decide whether the opportunity deserves a bid.
Predict connects relevant incumbent contracts with recorded end dates and renewal signals. Add supplier research and comparable awards to see who holds similar work and at what published value. You have a practical starting point for planning buyer engagement.
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 buyer may spend heavily on IT but publish mostly hardware or outsourced support contracts. Account-level opportunity is only the starting point. The current requirement must fit the advisory services your team sells.
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.
Monitor handles daily scored opportunities. Predict adds renewal and buyer research. Tussell presents a sales-led platform rather than a like-for-like self-serve price on the homepage reviewed, so ask for a quote for the features you need.
