Does this work for Selection Questionnaires under the Procurement Act 2023?

Yes. The updated SQ format introduced under the new regime is fully supported, including the additional conditions of participation sections.

What if a buyer asks for an unusual or bespoke piece of evidence?

Bidwell flags it as a gap, with the question wording and the context. You answer once, the answer goes into the library, the next time it appears it is already drafted.

Can Bidwell tell me if we are likely to pass the PQQ before we waste time on it?

Yes. The Tender Readiness Checker (free at /tools/tender-readiness) tells you in under five minutes whether your credentials are likely to clear the bar for a given notice.

How does this fit with the rest of the bid?

PQQ first, then the award response. Bidwell handles both in the same workspace with the same knowledge base, so nothing is retyped between stages.

Pre-qualification questionnaires

PQQs drafted from your credentials, every time.

Selection questionnaires are mostly the same questions in subtly different wrappers. Bidwell drafts them from your standard credentials library so the third PQQ this month takes minutes, not a day.

Why pqqs eat your week

Every PQQ asks for the same accreditations, insurances and financials in a slightly different format.
You spend three hours retyping case studies you wrote out last week.
A scanned ISO certificate sits in five different folders and the wrong version always ends up attached.
You skip framework opportunities because the PQQ feels like a tax for a small contract.

How Bidwell helps

PQQs, drafted from the work you have already done

Your credentials, drafted once

Drop in your ISO certificates, Cyber Essentials, insurances, last three years of accounts, modern slavery statement, equality policy, environmental policy, and standard case studies. Bidwell indexes the lot.

Each PQQ drafted from the same source

Bidwell reads the selection questionnaire, maps each question to the right credential, attaches the current version of the certificate or policy, and drafts narrative sections in your voice. Word counts respected, evidence requirements met.

Always the current version of every certificate

When you renew an ISO certificate or update an insurance, Bidwell uses the new one automatically. No more discovering an expired Cyber Essentials cert at the submission deadline.

Submission-ready in minutes

Drafted answers, supporting documents bundled in the right format, ready to upload or paste back into the portal. Most PQQs go from a half-day job to twenty minutes of review.

Frequently asked

Bidwell for pqqs, in short

A PQQ is the selection stage: does this supplier meet the minimum bar (financial standing, accreditations, insurances). The award stage is where the actual evaluated answers live. Bidwell handles both, but PQQs are particularly repeatable and benefit most.
