Where each one wins

Breadth or depth, and what each costs you

Choose BidSkim

Britain is your whole market, and you would rather have five years of award history and renewal timing on it than a shallower view of a dozen countries you will never bid in.

Five years of British award history behind every match, not just the live notice
Renewal and expiry timing with incumbent, value and contract dates
Buyer profiles with spend, categories, top suppliers and contacts
Comparable awards for price benchmarks, winners and bid counts
Billed in sterling, with no exchange rate between you and the invoice
Free to search every British notice before paying

Choose Jorpex

You bid in more than one country. Jorpex names TED, SAM.gov, TenderNed, BOAMP, DTVP, CanadaBuys, GeBIZ, AusTender and Hilma among its sources, and no amount of British depth substitutes for a notice published in the Netherlands.

Twelve named source portals across four continents, from a claimed 50 plus, far beyond anything BidSkim covers
Slack delivery today, with Microsoft Teams listed on its own site as coming soon
Notifications in 17 European languages
Publishes its own comparison research, which is more than most of this category does

Worth knowing

Prices in US dollars, so a UK buyer carries the exchange rate
Breadth across many procurement regimes rather than depth in one
No renewal signals, buyer profiles, competitor tracking or comparable awards documented on the site, checked 18 August 2026

Which plan

Neither Jorpex tier has a Predict equivalent

BidSkim sells two plans and the comparison changes depending on which one you mean.

Monitor, £79 a month

Tells you which live tenders deserve attention.

£79 a month, or £780 a year which works out at £65 a month

Monitor at £79 covers Britain properly. Jorpex at $49 covers eleven countries thinly, and if ten of them are irrelevant to you the cheaper number is not the better deal.

Every new notice across the official sources in Britain, checked daily
Each one scored against your services, regions, contract size and certifications
The fit reason written next to every match
Duplicates collapsed, so the same contract does not arrive four times
Tender briefs with buyer, value, dates, lots, CPV, stage and requirements
Frameworks and DPS routes flagged where the public data supports it
Profile rescans when your services, regions or bid appetite change

Predict, £189 a month

Helps you plan before the tender goes live.

£189 a month, or £1,860 a year which works out at £155 a month

Predict at £189 has no equivalent on Jorpex at any tier. Renewal timing, buyer profiles, competitor renewal exposure and comparable award benchmarks are not documented there.

Everything in Monitor
Renewal radar, expiring incumbent contracts with buyer, incumbent, value and contract timing
Buyer profiles, spend, categories, open opportunities, top suppliers and annual trends
Buyer contacts where public notices or research provide them
Requirement and how-to-win notes for researched buyers
Supplier intelligence, who wins public work, where, and how their awards trend
Competitor tracking with renewal exposure, so you see their contracts coming back to market
Comparable awards for price benchmarks, winners and bid counts
Planning stage notices, work visible before it reaches tender

What BidSkim leaves out, and why

BidSkim covers Britain only, with no EU or international notices.

That is the whole point. Every scoring rule, CPV mapping, buyer record and renewal pattern is built for British public procurement and nothing else. A platform spanning thirty countries spreads the same effort across thirty procurement regimes, and the matching quality shows it. If you bid abroad you need a different tool. If you bid in Britain, you want the one that only does Britain.

BidSkim monitors five official British sources, not fifty.

Jorpex watches TED, SAM.gov, TenderNed, AusTender, CanadaBuys and more. Every one of those adds a procurement regime with its own notice formats, thresholds and vocabulary. BidSkim reads five sources and knows all five properly, which is why it can tell you why a notice matched rather than only that it did.

Questions

Common questions about this comparison

How much does Jorpex cost in pounds?

Jorpex publishes in US dollars, from $49 a month, so the sterling cost depends on the exchange rate on the day you are billed. BidSkim is £79 a month, or £780 a year which works out at £65 a month, billed in sterling.

Does Jorpex cover the UK?

Yes, Find a Tender is among its 50 plus sources. The difference is depth rather than presence. BidSkim carries five years of British award history, renewal timing and buyer profiles behind each notice, none of which Jorpex documents.

Which is better for a UK-only supplier?

If Britain is your entire market, the ten other countries Jorpex monitors are cost without benefit. That is the trade. If you bid abroad at all, Jorpex covers ground BidSkim does not attempt.
