How it works

A second pair of eyes that reads like the panel, not like a proofreader.

1

Send your draft

Email your draft response and the tender documents (or just the evaluation criteria pages). PDF or Word, however rough. Nothing to install, no discovery call.

2

We score it as the buyer will

Each question scored against the tender's own criteria and weightings, the way public-sector evaluators are instructed to mark — evidence present, evidence specific, requirement answered as asked.

3

Fix the three that matter

You get the full mock scorecard plus the three highest-impact weaknesses with concrete rewrite guidance. You make the changes — it stays your bid, in your voice, under your authorship.

Read this before you buy

Three honest things most bid consultants won't say.

The analysis is AI-performed. We say so.

Fernbridge reviews are produced by AI, openly. That's why this costs £99 and returns in 48 hours instead of £295+ and a fortnight. Because we review rather than write, your bid remains authored by you — nothing to declare under the Procurement Act's AI-disclosure guidance.

No win-rate theatre.

Bid firms advertise "87% win rates" you cannot verify. We publish none. You can judge a scored critique the moment you read it: either it shows you something real about your draft, or it doesn't.

If it tells you nothing — refunded.

If the review doesn't tell you anything you didn't already know, reply and say so. Full refund, no argument. That's the whole guarantee, and it's a real one.

Questions

The short version of everything else.

Who is this for?

UK SMEs and contractors responding to public-sector tenders and framework mini-competitions — construction, cleaning, security, care, professional services. If you've lost bids and the buyer's "feedback" told you nothing, this was built for you.

What do you need from me?

Two things: your draft response, and the tender's published evaluation criteria (the question set and weightings from the ITT/RFP). That's it — the draft itself carries everything we need to know about your business.

Do you write or rewrite the bid?

No. We score and critique; you rewrite. This keeps you the author of your own bid — which matters for accuracy, for authenticity, and for AI-use declarations some buyers now require of written submissions.

Can you guarantee I'll win?

No, and nobody honest can. What we can do is make sure you don't lose marks for reasons you'd have fixed in an afternoon if someone had pointed them out — which is how most winnable bids are actually lost.

What does it cost, exactly?

£99 fixed, per tender response, up to 12 scored questions. Longer bids quoted before we start, and you can say no. Invoice with the report; refund guarantee applies regardless.

Deadline this week?

48 hours from your email to a scored report.

The next tender you lose will come with no useful feedback. This one doesn't have to.
