Bid-review time saved for UK suppliers and contractors

Stop reviewing tenders
your firm should skip,
before bid time is lost.

TenderLead gives UK suppliers a weekday shortlist of public-sector tenders to BID or SKIP, with source links, deadline risk, evidence gaps, no-bid rules and the next action before bid-writing time is spent.

How it works

Find. Qualify. Track. Respond.

A calmer first-pass qualification loop for firms already checking UK public-sector tenders, then a clearer path into the response workflow when something is worth pursuing.

01 Find

Find the notices.

UK sources are polled and deduplicated before the weekday morning briefing, with saved-search logic around your market. Weekend notices are picked up in the Monday run.

847 contracts · 17 Apr
02 Qualify

Score the fit.

Each notice is checked against your services, buyers, routes, proof, compliance signals and no-bid rules.

127 illustrative sample run · 4 sources
03 Track/respond

Move the right work forward.

The briefing shows BID/SKIP reasoning, deadline pressure, clarification questions, evidence gaps and no-bid rule ideas so the tender can move into pipeline, compliance checks and workspace support.

04:12 illustrative sample read
Pilot track

The drafting workspace stays gated until the output is consistently strong.

The live product is the UK Intelligence briefing. Each scored tender now includes a bid-writer assist layer for clarification questions, evidence gaps, no-bid rules, deadline risk and a kickoff note. The workspace below shows the direction: evidence library, bid library, compliance matrix and tender pipeline support built around the same source-linked qualification layer.

Common questions

Five things people ask.

Can I buy TenderLead today?+
Yes. The free checker is live. Starter is £29/month, Pro is £79/month and Team is £199/month. Paid tiers use Stripe Checkout, tier-specific onboarding, no annual lock-in and cancellation before the next renewal.
Which sources do you ingest?+
Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales — polled hourly, deduplicated overnight. Framework notices (G-Cloud, DOS, CCS) are tagged inline. We do not ingest EU TED (no UK obligation post-Brexit), but can pull it if your firm bids EU work.
Does it replace our bid process?+
No. TenderLead sits before bid writing. It helps find, qualify, track and respond to public-sector tender opportunities with source-linked BID/SKIP reasoning, summaries, deadline signals and workflow support. CRM integration, bid library exports and deeper workspace features remain Team-direction work, not a blanket promise on every tier.
What happens when the scoring is wrong?+
You can flag shortlist quality in one click, and private-beta firms can send richer notes from inside the app too. We use that feedback to improve prompts, playbooks, evidence matching and product flow over time. Reasoning is always shown, so you can spot the miss; we never ship a black-box number.
Is our bid data and CRM data kept private?+
TenderLead uses firm data to score for your firm, not to train another firm's bidding workflow. The current public site uses lightweight analytics and the data-use boundary is set out in Privacy and Source quality. We are not claiming ISO 27001, DSPT, or other certification on this page today.
One email. Four minutes. Every weekday.
