How it works

Find it. Qualify it. Win it.

BidSquirrel is the whole journey, not just an AI score: it watches every major GB source, scores each tender to you, checks you qualify, shows you how to win, guides the write-up in your own words, and keeps you on track after you bid. Here's the end-to-end.

01Discovery

We watch every source, so you don’t have to

Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and the ProContract council portals - scanned every day into one feed, right down to the sub-£30k council work the big incumbents skip. No more trawling six websites.

Find a Tender · Contracts Finder · Public Contracts Scotland · ProContract

Every major GB source, scanned daily into one feed - including the sub-£30k council work most tools miss.

02Relevance

We score every tender to your business

Not keyword alerts - a real read of each opportunity against your capabilities, scale, location and growth goals, ranked Strong, Fair or Development (an on-strategy stretch). You see a shortlist worth your time, with the reasoning behind every verdict.

03The read

We tell you why it fits - and the regime it runs under

Open any tender and you get its fit score with written reasoning, the procurement regime it falls under (Procurement Act above or below threshold, light-touch, NHS PSR, or the devolved rules), value, deadline and a plain-English steer - all in one place.

05The write-up

We guide the bid - you write it, in your own voice

Upload the ITT and we turn each scored question into an answer section, with the assessor’s guidance beside it: what wins marks, which of your strengths to lead with, where bidders lose points, and a score on demand. We never write it for you - generic AI prose is exactly what panels mark down.

06Assurance

We check it before it goes

A final, panel-style review of your draft against the scoresheet: predicted marks per section, the gaps still to close, and the unsupported claims to fix - so you submit the strongest version, not the first one.

Predicted marks · gaps to close · claims to fix

A panel-style read of your draft before you submit, so you fix the weak sections while you still can.

07Operations

We keep you on track after you bid

Deadlines, decision dates and your own milestones in one calendar. And a renewals radar that flags incumbent contracts coming up for re-tender - so you can engage the buyer months before it’s advertised.

The deliberate difference

We don't write your bid. We make yours win.

Our AI is trained as a UK procurement assessor - regime-aware, evaluator-calibrated, regression-tested against expert bid scenarios - and pointed at the right job: sharpening your real strengths, never ghostwriting them. How the AI works →
