Tender screening · Bid support

Know what the tender really says, before you bid.

We read the full tender package — every annex, price sheet and draft contract — so you know whether to bid, and what could disqualify you, before you commit time and money.

Send us a tender → Share a tender reference or link. We reply with a short first view.

Services

Three ways we work, from a single tender to an ongoing desk.

01

Tender Screening

A full reading of one tender: qualification requirements, risks, hidden conditions and a clear bid / no-bid view. Delivered as a short written report with every finding referenced to its source.

02

Bid Preparation Support

Compliance matrix, document checklist, clarification questions to the buyer and deadline management through to submission.

03

Tender Monitoring

Regular scanning of tenders and early procurement signals in your sector, with short notes on the ones worth your time.

Method

The decisive details are rarely in the contract notice.

  1. We read every document.Including the annexes, price sheets, technical requirements and draft contract — not only the notice.
  2. We compare documents against each other.Contradictions between the notice, the requirements and the forms are where bids are won and lost.
  3. Every finding has a source.Each point is referenced to the document and section it comes from, so your team can verify it in seconds.
  4. If it is not worth bidding, we say so.A clear no-bid is often the most valuable result: it saves weeks of work and a bid bond.

Who it is for

Companies that bid on tenders, without a full-time bid team.

Manufacturers, suppliers and contractors that bid several times a year — often in foreign markets, in foreign languages, under unfamiliar rules.

  • Public and utility tenders in the EU (TED and national portals)
  • Development-bank funded procurement (World Bank, AfDB, IsDB, EBRD)
  • Documents in English, Italian, Dutch, German, French and other languages

Sample work

Two analyses of real, published tenders.

EU water infrastructure · €3.8M

Reading Past the Notice

An open EU tender that looked attractive at notice level. The full document set showed a priced scope 47% smaller than described, an incumbent-compatibility clause inside the price annex, and a cost basis set at one supplier's production cost.

Development-bank pipeline programme

Who Can Actually Bid

A multi-lot design-and-build programme screened for a supplier. The qualification criteria, three concurrent bank guarantees and local licensing made it a contractor opportunity — with a defined route in for manufacturers.
