BidScreen

AI-powered tender screening for bid writers. Screen tenders in 30 seconds against your profile. UK, US, Canada and Australia.

BidScreen analyses public sector tenders against your business profile and returns a clear AI screening result — **STRONG FIT / PARTIAL FIT / POOR FIT** — in about 30 seconds. It's a first-pass triage to help you decide what to read properly, not a bid/no-bid decision. Works on any procurement portal, in any region. No portal whitelist, no browsing history access. Click the icon on a tender page and BidScreen reads only that page — plus any tender documents you choose to attach. --- ### Supported regions BidScreen works for tenders in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Set your region once in your profile and every screen takes account of that country's procurement rules — for example the Procurement Act 2023 for UK tenders. --- ### The problem it solves Bid writers and procurement teams spend as much time on tender qualification as they do on writing bids. Every week: 20 to 30 tender alerts arrive, each requiring a manual read before you can make a go/no-go decision. Most of that analysis tells you what you already suspected — wrong sector, wrong value, wrong geography, or already awarded. BidScreen does the initial qualification read for you, checked against a business profile you configure once. --- ### How it works 1. **Open a tender notice** on any procurement portal — any page that shows the tender details works 2. **Click the BidScreen icon** in your browser toolbar 3. **Get an instant structured analysis** — personalised fit score, hard requirements check, opportunity indicators, risk flags, and one specific recommended next action **Requirements buried in the documents?** Click "Attach tender PDFs" and add the ITT, specification or SQ — BidScreen screens them together with the tender page, so insurance levels, turnover thresholds and certifications in the documents are checked too. **Page won't load?** Use the built-in paste mode — click "Paste text instead", paste the tender text, and screen it just the same. --- ### Free tier — what you get ✓ Unlimited screenings (bring your own Gemini API key — free at Google AI Studio) ✓ Business profile matching: compare your certifications, insurance coverage, turnover, and geographic reach against tender requirements ✓ AI screening result (STRONG FIT / PARTIAL FIT / POOR FIT) with a percentage compatibility score ✓ Attach tender PDFs (ITT, specification, SQ) and screen them with the page ✓ Hard requirements check table with colour-coded status per row (OK / Gap / Unclear) ✓ Opportunity indicators and risk flags — only what's genuinely relevant to your situation ✓ Recommended next step — one specific, actionable instruction based on your fit level ✓ PDF export of the full screening report — clean, professional, ready to share with a client ✓ Results cached per URL — reopen the popup and your last screen is there instantly, no re-run needed --- ### Pro tier — coming soon Pro removes the need for an API key entirely. One flat monthly fee, managed key included — nothing to configure. All the same analysis, none of the setup friction. Sign up for the waitlist at **bidscreen.co.uk** --- ### Who it's for BidScreen is for bid writers, in-house bid teams, and small bid consultancies who run 10–30+ tenders through a qualification process each week — in any market. If your work involves bid/no-bid triage — screening which public sector contracts are worth a proper read and which to decline — BidScreen cuts the time that first pass takes. **This is a tender qualification tool, not a bid writing tool.** It speeds up your bid/no-bid triage. The decision stays with you, and it does not write your response. Not designed for occasional procurement — for businesses bidding once or twice a year, the Gemini API setup won't be worth the friction until the Pro tier launches. --- ### Privacy Your API key, business profile and saved screening results are stored **locally in your browser** using Chrome's built-in secure storage. They are never sent to BidScreen's servers. BidScreen uses the `activeTab` permission — it only reads the page you're actively viewing when you click Screen. It does not access your browsing history or run on pages in the background. The only external call BidScreen makes is to the **Google Gemini API** — the text content of the tender page, and any tender PDFs you choose to attach, are sent to Gemini for analysis, exactly as if you had pasted them into Google AI Studio yourself.
