Opportunity discovery
See the opportunities that actually fit your business
Procurement portals list thousands of notices. Bid Sense filters them against your real business profile — services, location, experience and typical contract size — so you only spend time on contracts you could genuinely win.

Strengths
Relevant regional experience
Suitable contract size
Risk
Environmental policy needs stronger evidence
Category alerts are not matching
Portal email alerts work on broad categories, so a joinery firm receives civil engineering notices and a training provider receives catering frameworks. The result is either hours of manual filtering or, more commonly, alerts that get ignored — and real opportunities missed with them.
How discovery works
- Your company profile captures what you deliver, where you deliver it, your typical contract size and the evidence you hold.
- Bid Sense reads new opportunity notices and their documents, not just the title and category codes.
- Each opportunity is matched against your profile and given a suitability score with reasons.
- You get a short list worth reading — with tender alerts when something strong appears.
Where it makes the difference
The busy owner-manager
Check one screen a week instead of three portals a day, knowing anything important will surface with an alert.
The first-time bidder
Start with opportunities sized for your business rather than being overwhelmed by everything at once.
The occasional bidder
Stop missing renewals and frameworks in your niche because an alert was buried in irrelevant notices.
Frequently asked questions
Which opportunities does Bid Sense cover?
The first version focuses on opportunities published through NEPO procurement systems, with wider UK tender sources planned as the platform grows.
How is this different from portal email alerts?
Portal alerts match broad categories. Bid Sense matches the actual content of the opportunity against your specific business profile, and explains the match with a suitability score.
Can I still see everything if I want to?
Yes. Matching brings the best opportunities to the top; it does not hide the rest.
