Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Sign up free for a 12-month report and a one-off scan showing up to 3 suitable matches across open tenders and upcoming pre-market opportunities, with full details and why they fit. You may see fewer when there are fewer suitable opportunities. No card needed.
The portals already send me free alerts. Why pay?
BidSkim combines Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, scores notices against your service lines, and adds buyer profiles and competitor tracking. Predict adds renewal signals. The official notice stays one click away so you can verify the requirements and current status.
Will this pay for itself?
Public sector contracts are often worth tens of thousands of pounds each. One contract you'd otherwise have missed can cover years of the subscription. Run the free report first: it shows the actual contracts on your patch, which makes the case better than we can.
What if it finds nothing for us?
Then don't pay. The free scan and 12-month report show the honest picture, and some trades genuinely see little public work. Better to find that out free than on an invoice.
Do you write bids?
No, and that's deliberate. BidSkim does the work before the bid: finding, qualifying and researching. The writing stays yours. It also keeps our scoring honest, because we gain nothing by telling you a weak match is strong.
Who is BidSkim not for?
Large bid teams that need seats, exports and account management are better served by the enterprise platforms. And if your trade sees little public work, the free report will show you that quickly.
Can I narrow it to my region, size of work and certifications?
Yes. Your profile sets the regions you cover, the contract values worth your time, and the certifications you hold, and every match is scored with those in mind. Inside the app you can also filter the feed by region, category, framework type and stage.
What's the difference between Monitor and Predict?
Monitor tells you which live tenders deserve attention. Predict helps you plan before they go live: see likely renewals, learn what target buyers typically require, identify the right contacts, and prepare your certifications, evidence and answers while there is still time.
Can I change plan later?
Yes. Upgrades, downgrades, invoices and payment details are all handled from Settings. Billing runs through Stripe.
What if I cancel?
Every paid plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it isn't worth it, email us within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund. After that, monthly plans cancel any time and run to the end of the month, and annual plans run to the end of the year.
What areas do you cover?
Public tenders across Britain, from Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales.
