Daily matches

A shortlist, not a search.

BidSkim reads every new notice in Britain each morning and scores it 0–100 against your services, regions, contract size and certifications. You open the top of the list, not page four of a portal.

  • Every score comes with the reasons written down.
  • One email a day. You choose which lanes reach you: Recommended, Worth a look, In your market.
  • Matching learns from what you save and dismiss.

Renewal radar

Most tenders are won before they're published.

Expiring contracts in your market show up months ahead. You can see who holds them, what they're worth and when they should return, with time to meet the buyer before everyone else turns up.

  • Buyer, incumbent, value and timing on one card.
  • Renewals ranked against your profile, like any other match.
  • Start the conversation while the spec is still being written.

Buyer requirements & intel

Know what a buyer wants before you write a word.

Every buyer has a profile. It shows the requirements that decide bids, like insurance, certifications, social value and pass/fail gates, plus spend history, top suppliers, named contacts, and how-to-win notes where we've researched them.

  • Pass/fail gates up front, before you sink a week into the bid.
  • Track target buyers: their tenders, awards and renewals surface first.
  • Named procurement contacts where the public record gives them.

Competitor tracking

Follow the suppliers you keep losing to.

Track any supplier and see their public sector business laid out. What they've won, which buyers they serve, where they win, and the useful part: which of their contracts are coming back to market.

  • Contracts won, awarded values, regions and categories.
  • Their biggest clients and repeat buyers, from the award record.
  • Renewal exposure: every tracked contract that's due back within the year.

Frameworks & DPS

One missed framework can cost four years of work.

Frameworks, DPS and dynamic markets are the gates to years of call-offs, and each has different rules for getting in. BidSkim badges every route in your feed and keeps a rail of the ones you can still join.

  • Joinable routes only: call-offs and modifications are filtered out.
  • Closing frameworks show their application deadline. Rolling-entry DPS and dynamic markets stay flagged until they expire.
  • End date, supplier cap and your route in, on every framework brief.
