The problem

Finding a tender is only the beginning.

Bidsuite brings tender notices, certificates, spreadsheets and deadlines into one organised process.

  1. 01

    Is it right for your business?

    Scope, location, contract length and the kind of buyer decide whether a notice is worth pursuing or worth passing on.

  2. 02

    Do you meet the requirements?

    Mandatory conditions are usually spread across the scope of work, the standard terms and the submission instructions.

  3. 03

    Which documents are missing?

    Registrations, tax status, certificates and evidence of past work each expire on their own timetable.

  4. 04

    Does your price cover the work?

    Materials, labour, transport and overheads need to be in the number before you decide what margin is left.

Answering those four questions by hand, for every notice you look at, is where most of the effort goes. Bidsuite keeps the answers in one place.
