Premise

Take the lead.

Find the
tenders you can
actually win.

BidHound reads newly advertised UK public tenders, scores each one against your company profile, and lays the strategic groundwork for the ones worth pursuing. Capability fit, milestone plan, exec summary draft, clarification questions, social value commitments. So your hours go on writing the bid, not on deciding whether to.

The pain
01 · Portal fatigue

47 new tenders this week. Which 3 matter?

You open Contracts Finder. Then Find a Tender. Then the framework portal. Scroll, tab, copy, paste. By Wednesday you've read everything and read nothing.

02 · Wasted effort

Eight hours on a bid you were never going to win.

You only see it after the rejection email: the incumbent had ten years of sector experience. It was written for them. You spent a weekend writing against a wall.

03 · Weekend gone

Another Sunday evening lost to a spreadsheet.

You opened the laptop at 8pm for one quick read-through. It's now midnight. Half a method statement, a cold cup of tea, and you know exactly how this ends.

§ 03
The shift

The shift

Stop guessing. Start scoring.

BidHound reads every UK public tender the moment it's published and scores it against your services, accreditations, frameworks, and track record, so you know whether it's worth your time before you open the document.

Not a workflow tool. Not another portal. We don't replace your bid writer — we tell them where to focus and put a structured starting point on the table. One feed. Every tender already scored.

The hours you used to waste on losing bids, you spend on the ones you should win.

The outcome

Multiple portals down to 1 inbox, 10 minutes a day.

§ 04

Honest answers

Honest answers

Straight answers, before you sign up.

What if I already have a bid writer?+
BidHound doesn't write bids. It tells your writer what to focus on. The team keeps doing the craft. BidHound just stops them burning Friday afternoons on tenders that were unwinnable from the brief.
Will my matches be good from day one?+
Matching is live from day one. A first scored shortlist arrives within about a minute, then sharpens over the following hour as a deeper analysis completes. Precision tightens as you mark wins and losses through the pipeline — the system reads your decisions and adjusts what it surfaces.
Where does the data come from?+
Official UK government sources: Contracts Finder, Find a Tender (UK-wide), and planning notices. Continuously fetched, classified, and scored the moment they're published. No scraping, no guesswork, no stale data.
What about Scotland and Wales?+
England, Northern Ireland, and UK-wide tenders are fully covered today via Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Scotland (PCS) and Wales (Sell2Wales) coverage is on the roadmap. Find a Tender already carries all above-threshold notices UK-wide in the meantime.
How accurate is the scoring?+
Each tender is classified against your full profile (services, accreditations, frameworks, past work), then sharpened by the winners and losers you mark. You'll always see the breakdown behind a score (capability, budget, deadline, track record), not just the number. The more signal you feed it, the tighter the shortlist gets.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. One click from Settings cancels your subscription. No phone calls, no retention emails, no quarterly lock-in. You keep access until the end of your paid period.
Is my profile data secure?+
Your company profile, pipeline, and decisions are scoped to your account and stored on servers in the European Economic Area, which is covered by UK GDPR adequacy rules. We never share profile data between accounts, and we don't sell or analyse it for any other purpose. The full rundown — encryption, backups, sub-processors — is on our security page.
Who's behind BidHound?+
BidHound is run by a small UK team. It started with me, Philip — twelve years split between sound design for UK film and TV and software development, until the two crossed over when I built a lead-scanner to find my own freelance work. That tool became BidHound, pointed at UK public tenders. We keep things deliberately small, which means every email, feature, and bug fix gets a direct human reply — no call centre, no ticket queue.
Are you affiliated with other companies called BidHound?+
No. BidHound is a UK company focused exclusively on UK public sector tenders. We have no affiliation with other companies of similar names operating in other markets.
