Initial Engagement

High level timeline:

• January 2026 – Tender Finder adopted
• February 2026 – Opportunity identified and bid prepared

Why Bid Bot?

Prior to using Bid Bot, the consultant had been trialling several paid tender alert services to identify opportunities for their clients. These platforms typically operate on a subscription model, delivering daily notifications when relevant tenders are published.

Depending on the provider and level of access, these services can range from around £100 to £150 per month.

After noticing that Bid Bot offered tender alerts with free setup, the consultant reached out to explore the service as an alternative to paid alert platforms. The goal was to continue identifying relevant opportunities for clients while reducing the cost of tender search subscriptions.

Free tender alerts

A bid consultant signed up to Bid Bot’s free Tender Finder to track new tender opportunities for their clients.

Tender alert services normally operate as paid subscriptions, sending suppliers notifications when relevant contracts are published across procurement portals and buyer websites.

The consultant had previously relied on paid tender alert services but wanted a simpler and more cost-effective way to identify opportunities for their clients.

Public sector tender automation

Within the first month of using Tender Finder, the consultant identified a relevant opportunity for one of their clients.

The consultant then used the Bid Bot platform to support the submission by:

• Setting up the bid

• Generating automated first-draft responses

• Reviewing and improving second-draft responses

To finalise the submission, the client purchased one day of consultancy support, enabling the consultant to refine and complete the bid.
