Find every tender that fits and draft the response
Monitor every UK procurement portal daily, match opportunities to what your business actually does, and have AI draft the response from your past bids.
The problem
How it works by hand
UK public sector contracts are published across five separate portals, and most small businesses never see the ones they could win. The ones you do find arrive with a three-week deadline and a forty-page question set, so bid writing becomes a week of evenings stolen from running the business. Plenty of winnable work goes unanswered simply because nobody had the hours.
A worked example
What a working version looks like
The system watches every UK procurement portal daily and pulls each new notice into one place, no more checking five sites or relying on email alerts that bury the good ones. Each opportunity is matched against what your business actually delivers, your sectors, your contract size range, your geography, so you see a short ranked list rather than a firehose. When you pick one worth bidding, the AI drafts the full response using your library of past bids, case studies and evidence, answering each question in your voice with your real material. You review and sharpen rather than write from blank pages. Every bid you submit feeds the library, so the next draft starts stronger. For clients who want the watching without the platform, we also deploy standalone monitor workflows that track named buyers and competitors and flag every new award the day it publishes.
The exact tools change per business. The shape does not.
What it needs
Honest inputs, nothing exotic
- 01Your past bids, won and lost, the lost ones teach the system too
- 02Case studies, accreditations and policies as source evidence
- 03A definition of what work you want, sector, value, region
- 04One person who owns the final review before anything is submitted
The payoff
What you get back
You see every opportunity that fits instead of the fraction you stumble across, and responding to one becomes a review job instead of a week of evenings. The decision changes from "can we spare the time to bid" to "is this contract worth winning".
Do it yourself
How you would build this yourself
No course, no upsell. This is the order we would build it in, with the tools named, and a prompt to start from.
- 1
Register on the free portals: Find a Tender and Contracts Finder cover most of it, plus Sell2Wales or Public Contracts Scotland if you work there. All free.
- 2
Automate the checking, not the judgement. Both portals have free public APIs, and a script on a GitHub Actions cron can pull new notices every morning and score them against a description of your business.
- 3
Build your evidence library as plain files in one folder: past bids won and lost, case studies, accreditations, policies. This is the asset everything else drafts from.
- 4
When you bid, give Claude the question set plus the library and have it draft each answer from your real material only. If it cannot evidence a claim, it should say so, not improvise.
- 5
Review every word before submission, then file the finished bid back into the library. Each bid makes the next draft start stronger.
Build me a daily tender watcher using the Find a Tender and Contracts Finder APIs, both free and public. 1. Every morning, pull new notices matching my work. I do [describe what you deliver], so suggest the right CPV codes first. Filter to value between [X] and [Y] in [regions] 2. Score each notice 1 to 10 against this description of my business: [paste two paragraphs covering what you deliver, for whom, and what evidence you hold: accreditations, case studies, past contracts] 3. Email me a ranked shortlist with buyer, deadline, value and a two-line summary of what they are asking for Run it free on a GitHub Actions cron. Phase two will be drafting answers to tender questions from a folder of my past bids and case studies, so structure the code with that in mind. Plan first, then build.
Copy it into Claude Code, fill the brackets, and it will plan the build with you before writing a line of code.
We would rather show you how than bill you. The whole ladder of free help, answers, guides and the weekly build-along, is on the do-it-yourself page.
