Why this stage exists
The problems most teams hit at know.
- 1
Last year's winning answer to the security question lives on someone's desktop. You cannot find it.
- 2
You answer the same 40 questions in every PQQ, and re-write them from scratch each time.
- 3
New starters take weeks to find the right policies, certs and case studies.
- 4
Your insurance certificates, ISO docs and DUNS numbers live in five different folders.
How Know works
4 steps, no consulting engagement.
- 01
Drag and drop your library
Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Drive, SharePoint. Bidwell ingests everything and parses out structure.
- 02
AI organises by topic
Past responses get tagged by question type. Certs and policies get filed by category and expiry. Case studies get matched to sectors.
- 03
Ask in plain English
Type a question. Bidwell quotes the best answer from your library, cites the source document, and shows alternatives so you pick the right tone for the buyer.
- 04
Stays current as you bid
Every tender you draft adds new answers to the base. The library compounds. Year two is dramatically faster than year one.

The full loop
Discover, Know, Draft, Win.
Most teams start with one stage and add the rest as the bidding loop closes. You can buy any combination, or the full suite for £30/month.
Stage 1 · You are here
Know
Drop in old responses, ISO certs, case studies and team CVs, or just point Bidwell at your website. It reads everything, organises it, and gives you a searchable knowledge base every future draft will draw from, citing the document each answer came from. This part costs nothing and has no time limit.
Stage 2
Draft
Drop a blank tender or PQQ into Bidwell. We extract every question, match each one to your knowledge base, and draft answers in your voice with citations. You review and ship, instead of writing from scratch.
Stage 3
Win
Track every submission, decision and award. Win-rate by sector and buyer. Lessons from each loss fed back into the knowledge base. The bidding loop closes, and year two compounds.
Stage 4
Discover
Add discovery for £10 a month on top of answering. Bidwell watches every UK tender portal, matches by CPV code, keyword, region and value, and emails you only the work that fits. Worth having once writing the response is no longer what stops you bidding.
