The problem

The hard part is not finding tenders. It is knowing which ones deserve your evening.

Pass/fail gates

Many bids are decided before scoring because of mandatory requirements: insurance, SafeContractor, CHAS, BICSc, policies, accounts, forms or portal rules.

Hours lost

Small cleaning firms can lose evenings to bids that were never realistic because the gates, evidence needs, TUPE risk or incumbent advantage were buried in the documents.

£500–£5,000

Traditional bid writers can be excellent, but a full bid can cost more than a small operator can risk before knowing if the opportunity is winnable.

What you get

A practical filter before a draft.

CleanBidWise is not “AI writes your tender and hopes”. We focus on source-cited tender intelligence, pass/fail checks and bid-readiness so you only draft when the opportunity is credible.

Can You Win This?

A simple green, amber or red call before you start writing.

Each diagnostic is designed to answer one practical question: should you bid now, fix a gap first, or walk away before the tender eats your week?

GREEN

Bid-worthy

Mandatory gates look achievable, the contract fits your size and evidence, the deadline is workable, and a draft bid pack is worth preparing.

AMBER

Possible, but risky

There is a fixable gap: missing policy, weak case study, short deadline, portal friction, unclear TUPE position or a pricing assumption that needs checking.

RED

Do not waste the bid time

A hard gate, poor fit, unrealistic timescale, high compliance burden or likely framework/incumbent barrier makes the tender a bad use of effort.

Founder note

Why this exists

I built CleanBidWise because small, capable service businesses should not have to spend late nights decoding tender portals just to discover a pass/fail requirement buried in the documents. The aim is not to pretend software can guarantee wins. It is to help you make a faster, clearer decision: bid, fix a gap first, or walk away before the opportunity becomes an expensive distraction.
