Can Bidwell handle the financial numbers, or only the qualitative answers?

Bidwell drafts the qualitative answers and surfaces the numeric answers from the source spreadsheets in your data room. Finance still owns the figures, but the retyping disappears.

What about NDAs and counterparty access?

Bidwell is your workspace, not the counterparty's. You draft and review inside Bidwell, then export the responses to share through the channel and under the NDA terms you have agreed.

Does this work for buy-side as well as sell-side?

Yes. Buy-side teams use Bidwell to standardise the DDQs they send and to track responses across multiple targets in parallel. Sell-side teams use it to answer faster.

How does it fit with our data room provider?

Bidwell reads from wherever the documents live. It is not a replacement for the data room, it is the drafting layer that sits on top of it.

Due diligence questionnaires

DDQs answered from the data room you already have.

Upload the questionnaire. Bidwell matches every question to your data room, drafts each answer with the source document attached, and flags the responses that need legal or finance sign-off before they leave the building.

Why ddqs eat your week

A DDQ lands the day after term sheet and the founder loses a fortnight to answering it.
The same numbers, contracts and policies get retyped into a different template every time.
Finance, legal and product each get asked the same five questions, separately.
Half the answers are in the data room. The other half are in three Slack channels and a notebook.

How Bidwell helps

DDQs, drafted from the work you have already done

Your data room, indexed for retrieval

Connect or upload the data room. Bidwell reads contracts, financials, board packs, policies and prior diligence responses. Each artefact is indexed so any future question can be answered with a source attached.

A first draft against every question

Bidwell drafts each answer with the source pulled directly from your data room. Numbers come from the latest board pack, customer counts from CRM, contracts from the legal folder. Stale data is flagged rather than guessed.

Sign-off workflow that respects function boundaries

Finance answers stay routed to finance, legal to legal, technical to the CTO. Each reviewer sees only the questions they actually need to approve, with the relevant source attached.

Reuse next round, next deal, next year

Next DDQ that lands, the answers are mostly already drafted. Bidwell flags what has changed since the last response and surfaces only the deltas for fresh review.

Who owns this on your side

Built for the people who actually answer the questions

For

SME owners

You run the business. Bidwell finds the tenders worth bidding on and drafts the responses, so you can review at the end of the day instead of writing all weekend.

For

Operations directors

You ended up owning bid writing because nobody else would. Bidwell does the drafting, so you can sign off on a response in 30 minutes and get back to running the business.
