BidSkim sells SME-focused opportunity qualification and pre-tender intelligence rather than bid-writing software: daily semantic matches on Monitor, with buyer, supplier, award and renewal research on Predict. Its defensible depth is the connected five-year procurement history, evidence-linked contract timing method and explainable capability matching, balanced against narrow four-source coverage and a young operating company.
Yes means the complete normalized capability is available in at least one current plan. Partial means the implementation is adjacent, incomplete or materially narrower. Missing public evidence defaults to not offered.
Monitor and Predict provide complete ongoing profile-based matching: every new notice is scored 0-100 against services, region, value and certifications with written reasons. The Free plan's one-off scan is plan gating, not an incomplete paid capability.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim pricing ↗Predict includes structured cross-notice buyer profiles with requirements, spend and award history, top suppliers, contacts, renewals and researched notes. Public data documentation states that repeated notices are deduplicated and lifecycle notices are connected; Predict gating does not downgrade the capability.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim pricing ↗BidSkim data coverage ↗Predict includes structured supplier and incumbent profiles that aggregate wins, buyers, regions, categories, awarded values, held contracts and renewal exposure across the award record. This is a complete current-plan capability even though public pages do not describe the exact alias-resolution algorithm.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim terms ↗Predict provides complete renewal timing signals built from public award, contract, modification and termination records. Exact dates, durations and extension options are converted into source-linked planning dates, refreshed daily and ranked against the subscriber profile; the provider explicitly distinguishes these from confirmed re-tender dates.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim pricing ↗BidSkim contract timing method ↗Predict surfaces comparable historical awards matched by contract scope rather than shared keywords, including winners, values, terms, bid counts and SME status where published. Higher-tier gating does not make the implemented capability partial.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim data coverage ↗The reviewed public pages do not establish a full searchable corpus of buyer-authored documents designed to surface upcoming work.
BidSkim product ↗BidSkim features ↗Predict buyer profiles organize insurance, certifications, social-value rules, local preferences and pass/fail gates drawn from public buyer records and documents. The capability is complete on Predict; Monitor exclusion is plan gating.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim pricing ↗Predict is positioned for preparing certifications, evidence and answers before a tender goes live using buyer requirements and likely renewals; no separate task-based readiness workflow is described.
BidSkim pricing ↗BidSkim features ↗The service offers a one-off 12-month matched-award report on Free and five years of connected buyer and award history, comparable awards and supplier intelligence on Predict. Tier-specific lookback and access do not make the capability partial.
BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim features ↗BidSkim badges frameworks, DPS and dynamic markets, filters out non-joinable call-offs and modifications, and shows application/end dates, supplier caps and route-in information.
BidSkim features ↗Predict provides complete named-supplier tracking across public-sector wins, buyers, awarded values, regions, categories and contracts nearing expiry. Monitor exclusion is plan gating, not an incomplete implementation.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim pricing ↗No CSV/Excel export, API, webhook or CRM integration is documented on the reviewed pages; the pricing page says large teams needing exports may be better served by enterprise platforms.
BidSkim pricing ↗Monitor and Predict can deliver alerts to up to three teammates and include a pipeline, but no multi-user seats, assignments, comments or shared-workspace permissions are documented.

BIDSKIM LTD Companies House record ↗BidSkim terms ↗BidSkim privacy ↗BidSkim about ↗The product explicitly targets SMEs, owners and small commercial teams that cannot monitor portals daily. Monitor is for live opportunity prioritisation; Predict is for teams researching buyers, tracking incumbents and preparing months before likely procurements.
BidSkim about ↗BidSkim pricing ↗The model is self-serve per organization: permanent Free, Monitor at £79 monthly or £780 annually, and Predict at £189 monthly or £1,860 annually, with no VAT charged. Annual plans have a 30-day guarantee; users manage plan and billing in Settings, and the product explicitly avoids enterprise seat/export/account-management packaging.
BidSkim pricing ↗BidSkim terms ↗The privacy policy documents bcrypt password hashing, HTTPS, secure cookies, automatic database backups, 30-day account-deletion completion, EU-region PostHog retention, named processors and consent-controlled analytics; payments use Stripe and hosting uses Render. Setup is advertised at roughly two minutes with no card or sales call, but no security certification, penetration-test report, DPA, public status page or formal support SLA is published.
BidSkim privacy ↗BidSkim pricing ↗BidSkim terms ↗BidSkim names and links four official sources: Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales. Its public method says cross-posted and repeated notices are matched on reference numbers, buyer and dates, collapsed, normalized into common fields, and planning/tender/award/change notices are connected around the same buyer need.
BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim how it works ↗The four sources are checked daily, new notices are scored for the next morning's feed, and renewal timing candidates are refreshed daily. Every brief retains the official-source link; the terms disclaim completeness and uptime because the service depends on procurement portals and other infrastructure providers.
BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim contract timing method ↗BidSkim terms ↗BidSkim reads the full notice and scores it 0-100 against services, delivery regions, contract-size range, certifications and route-to-market context. Written reasons are shown, users choose a score threshold, save/dismiss feedback informs matching, and official notices remain linked for verification.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim how it works ↗BidSkim terms ↗The product claims 800,000+ notices and five years of connected award history. Predict surfaces scope-matched comparable awards with winners, values, terms, bid counts and SME status where published; Free includes a profile-matched 12-month retrospective award report.
BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim features ↗BidSkim pricing ↗Predict provides structured buyer profiles across requirements, contacts, awards, spend patterns, repeat suppliers and renewals, built on a stated 10,000+ buyer corpus and connected lifecycle records. Public evidence establishes notice deduplication and cross-notice aggregation but does not disclose the buyer alias, hierarchy or entity-resolution algorithm, so implementation quality should be tested during diligence.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim terms ↗Predict aggregates named suppliers and incumbents across wins, buyers, categories, regions, awarded value and renewal exposure, enabling tracking across the public award record. No publishable detail was found for Companies House linkage, aliases, trading-name merges or duplicate-supplier adjudication.
BidSkim features ↗BidSkim data coverage ↗BidSkim terms ↗The documented method uses public award, contract, modification and termination records. Exact start/end dates, duration, extensions and other dated lifecycle evidence create source-linked planning signals across a 24-month horizon, refreshed daily; missing timing stays missing and the UI treats a signal as a possible buying cycle, not confirmation of re-tender.
BidSkim contract timing method ↗BidSkim data coverage ↗Predict combines likely renewals with buyer requirements, contacts, incumbents and comparable awards so teams can prepare certifications, social-value evidence and pass/fail answers early. This is an evidence-backed preparation use case, but no durable in-product gaps/actions/owners/deadlines/readiness workflow is publicly documented.
BidSkim how it works ↗BidSkim features ↗BidSkim pricing ↗Monitor and Predict include a four-stage Saved/Bidding/Submitted/Won pipeline, win-rate view, filters, rescans and alert delivery to the subscriber plus three recipients. The product intentionally does not publish exports, API, CRM integration, true team seats, assignments or comments, and describes enterprise teams as out of scope.
