Fit assessment
Compares tender requirements against your stated capabilities, highlighting strengths and gaps to inform your bid/no-bid decision. Purpose-built for UK bid teams managing competitive procurement.
What it does
bidworx compares the requirements extracted from a tender against your organisation's stated capabilities, experience, and capacity. The result is a clear view of where you are strong, where you have gaps, and where you may need to partner or caveat your response.
This helps bid leads and business development teams make faster, better-informed bid/no-bid decisions — especially when juggling multiple opportunities with limited resource.
How it works
Upload the tender documents
Provide the ITT, specification, and scope of works so bidworx can extract the requirements.
Provide your capability profile
Share your organisation's capability statement, past project summaries, accreditations, or other relevant information.
AI compares requirements to capabilities
bidworx maps each tender requirement against your profile, identifying matches, partial matches, and gaps.
Review the fit assessment
Use the output to support your bid/no-bid decision, brief your bid team, and plan your win strategy.
Why it matters
UK bid teams often face a pipeline of opportunities but limited resource to pursue them all. Chasing every tender without a disciplined bid/no-bid process leads to wasted effort, stretched teams, and lower win rates.
A good fit assessment helps you focus on tenders where you have a genuine chance of winning. It surfaces gaps early — before you commit weeks of bid writing effort — and gives your team an objective basis for the go/no-go conversation.
For framework bids and multi-lot tenders, understanding your fit across different lots can also help you prioritise which lots to bid for and where to concentrate your strongest case studies and personnel.
Use cases
Bid/no-bid gate reviews
Use the fit assessment to support structured go/no-go decisions at your bid review gate, backed by evidence rather than gut feel.
Multi-lot framework applications
Assess your fit across different lots in a framework tender to decide which lots to pursue and where to focus your strongest evidence.
Joint venture and partnering decisions
Identify capability gaps that might be filled through subcontracting or JV arrangements, and share the evidence with potential partners.
