Document Q&A
Ask questions about the tender in plain English. Get answers with references back to the source documents. No more searching through hundreds of pages to find the clause you need.
What it does
bidworx lets you ask natural language questions about your uploaded tender documents and get clear, cited answers. Whether you need to find a specific deadline, check a technical requirement, or understand a contractual obligation, Document Q&A gives you the answer with a reference back to the source.
It works across all documents in your tender pack, so you don't need to know which volume or annex contains the information you're looking for.
How it works
Upload your tender documents
Include all relevant documents from the tender pack — ITT, specifications, schedules, annexes, and clarifications.
Ask a question in plain English
Type your question naturally, e.g., 'What is the submission deadline?' or 'Are there any TUPE obligations?'
Get a cited answer
bidworx returns an answer with references to the specific document, section, and page where the information was found.
Follow up or refine
Ask follow-up questions or refine your query to dig deeper into specific areas of the tender.
Why it matters
Tender packs for UK public sector contracts can run to hundreds of pages across multiple volumes. Finding specific information — a deadline, a technical standard, a contractual obligation — often means searching through multiple documents manually.
Document Q&A saves your bid team time by letting them query the full document set in seconds. Every answer includes a source reference, so your team can verify the information and use it with confidence in their bid response.
It's particularly valuable during clarification windows, when your team needs to check details quickly before submitting questions to the buyer.
