Does Bidwell replace Loopio?

Not for enterprise teams that already use Loopio. Bidwell is positioned for SMBs who have never been able to afford enterprise tooling.

Does Loopio cover UK tenders?

Loopio does not have UK tender discovery built in. You would need to bring your own RFPs, then use Loopio to draft. Bidwell does both.

Why would a UK team pick Loopio over Bidwell?

Mostly enterprise IT controls (SSO, SCIM, deep integrations) and large team workflow. If those are deal-breakers, Loopio is the right call.

How do the AI drafts compare?

Comparable. The output quality depends on your knowledge base content more than the underlying model.

Our honest take

Why we built Bidwell

Loopio is one of the best-known RFP response platforms in the world. It is well-built, well-funded and used by serious enterprise teams across North America.

It is also priced for those teams: typically several hundred dollars per seat per month, annual contracts, sales-led.

Bidwell is built for the other end of the market: UK SMBs bidding on public-sector contracts who would benefit from automation but cannot justify enterprise pricing or workflow complexity. £20 or £30 a month, self-serve, UK-focused, public-sector defaults.

If you are an enterprise team, Loopio is genuinely a strong choice. If you are an SMB or a UK public-sector specialist, the Loopio fit is poor and Bidwell is what you want.

Bidwell pricing

£20 to £30 / month

Bidwell is £20 or £30 a month. Even the £30 plan costs less per year than a single Loopio seat does per month.

Loopio pricing

Several hundred USD per seat per month (enterprise)

Loopio does not publish public pricing; industry reports place it in the enterprise range.
