Built for UK SMEs that want to compete for bigger contracts without growing a bid team.
A single partner for the full bid lifecycle — from opportunity to award.
Most SMEs miss contracts either because they never see the right tender, or because they run out of time and expertise to write a competitive bid. We solve both.
1. Find
We search live UK tender portals and framework opportunities for contracts that match your services, size and region.
2. Write
Our bid writers draft each response around the buyer's scoring criteria, method statements and evidence requirements.
3. Review
Compliance, quality and commercial checks against the tender documents before anything is submitted.
4. Win
You submit a clear, credible bid — and get on with delivering the work when you're awarded the contract.
"Bid" and "tender" mean two different things.
People use them interchangeably, but understanding the difference is the first step to winning more contracts. TenderFinder handles both sides.
A tender is the invitation
The formal procurement opportunity issued by a buyer — the question you are being asked to answer. We find them.
A bid is your response
The written proposal that answers the tender — the document that persuades the evaluator to award you the work. We write them.
End-to-end support across every stage of the bid.

How quickly can you turn a bid around?+
Turnaround depends on the tender size, complexity and the materials you already have. We agree a realistic schedule before work begins and keep the work on track.
Do you write for public and private sector?+
Yes. We work across public procurement (Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, NHS, LAs) and private-sector RFPs and RFQs.
Will you sign an NDA?+
Yes. We are happy to sign an NDA for any engagement involving proprietary commercials, methodology or pricing.
What if I already have a draft?+
The Bid Health Check is an independent review of your existing draft against the tender documents, with a scored feedback report and practical improvements.
Do you work on a success-fee basis?+
No. We charge a fixed fee agreed upfront so our focus is on writing the strongest possible submission, not chasing volume.
