Free cited bid check
Check a tender pack before you spend a week on it.
Upload the pack as the buyer sent it. A few minutes later you have every pass-or-fail requirement, key date and scored question, each quoted word for word with its file and page, and a plain verdict on whether you can comply.
Your first check is free. No card needed.
VerdictBased on the whole pack and the 12 documents you have uploaded
Worth bidding, if you close two gaps first.
- You can comply. 19 of the 23 pass-or-fail requirements are already met by your documents, and nothing in the pack rules you out.
- Two gaps. No DBS register (R-14) and no Cyber Essentials certificate (R-09). Both must be in place by the deadline.
- A stretch on size. At £4.2m this is more than twice your largest contract (£1.85m). Expect to be marked on capacity in Q4.

What you get
What the free check contains
It is the same check that starts every paid bid, on your own tender pack.
A verdict, with its reasons
A plain sentence on whether you can comply, and the requirements behind it listed underneath.
Every pass-or-fail requirement
Insurance, finance, accreditations, experience, policies. Each one quoted, with file and page, and marked Met, Gap or For you to confirm.
Key dates
The clarification deadline, site visits, the tender deadline and the contract start, each with the page it was read from.
The scored questions
Every question the buyer will mark, with its weighting and its word or page limit.
How the bid is marked
The split between quality and price, the scoring scale and any minimum score that fails a bid.
Terms to read yourself
Clauses that change your price or your risk: TUPE, deductions for late attendance, fixed rates.
And what we could not find
Anything a pack of this kind normally contains but this one does not, and any quote that could not be matched to the source text, is listed separately and marked “For you to confirm”, so you know exactly what to check yourself.
Inside a cited bid check
Every requirement, quoted and cited
No summaries to take on trust. Each line in a check is the buyer’s own sentence, with the file and page it came from, so you can verify it in seconds.

A tender pack is commercial. We treat it that way.
The detail is in the privacy notice, the terms and the data processing agreement.
- Yours, and confidential
- Files you upload are your confidential data. We do not share them with buyers, other suppliers or anyone else.
- Stored in the EU
- Files and results are stored in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany). Only members of your workspace can open them.
- Never used to train AI
- The text is sent to AI model providers only to produce your check. It is not used to train their models, or ours.
- Deleted when you say so
- Delete a bid and its files at any time. Ask us and we delete everything your workspace holds.
Questions
Before you upload
Is the first check really free?
Yes. One cited bid check per company, with no card. After that, Radar Pro includes one a month, and every full bid on Bid Desk or a Bid Pass starts with one.
The documents are on a procurement portal. Can Bidfolio fetch them?
No. Bidfolio does not log in to portals. Download the documents from the buyer’s portal and upload them, or upload the zip the portal gives you.
What if the pack is a scan?
Scanned and low-quality files are read less reliably. The check warns you when a file looks like a scan, and marks anything it could not match to the text as “For you to confirm”.
Our tender pack came with confidentiality terms. Can we upload it?
Check the terms first. Some buyers restrict sharing tender documents with third parties, and that includes any software service. If the terms allow you to use suppliers and tools to prepare your bid, you can.
How accurate is it?
Every finding carries its quote, file and page so that you can verify it in seconds, and quotes are checked against the source text by the software. It is AI-assisted analysis and it can miss things: read the documents that matter. You remain responsible for your submission.
