BidScout

Start Every Bid With a Draft, Not a Blank Page

We analyse every document in your tender package, build a complete requirements matrix, and generate an actionable draft structured to match how evaluators actually score. You focus on what makes your business unique.

Our Mission

Government procurement in Australia represents over $70 billion annually. Yet for most businesses, responding to tenders means starting from scratch every time — staring at a blank page, trying to decode what evaluators actually want.

Tender documents are dense. Evaluation criteria are buried in addenda. Requirements hide in conditions of contract, definitions sections, and referenced standards. The difference between a winning bid and a losing one often comes down to structure and compliance, not capability.

BidScout exists to close that gap. We analyse every document in your tender package, build a complete requirements matrix, benchmark against 140,000+ historical contracts, and generate an actionable draft structured exactly as evaluators score it. Works with any Australian Government tender: Federal, State, or panel.

How It Works

Every requirement. Every addendum. Nothing missed.

Most bidders read the RFT and start writing. We read the complete tender package — then cross-reference it against 140,000 contract outcomes.

Full Document Ingestion

We process the complete tender package — RFT, every addendum, Q&A transcripts, draft contracts, conditions of participation, and referenced standards.

Requirements Matrix

We build a cross-reference matrix mapping evaluation criteria against every clause, addendum, and condition in the tender package. This catches the requirements that don't appear in the compliance matrix — the ones buried in definitions, insurance clauses, and referenced standards.

Historical Benchmarking

We match your tender against similar contracts from our database of 140,000+ awards — winner profiles, price ranges, contract durations, and agency patterns. You get market context before you commit.

Evaluator Lens

We reconstruct how a panel will score each section based on the weighting, the criteria language, and patterns from the issuing agency's history.

Actionable Draft

Section-by-section exemplar text structured to match evaluation criteria, with [INSERT] placeholders for your company-specific detail. Plus a compliance checklist you can print and work through before submission.

Background

Built by someone who's been on both sides of the table

BidScout was built by a Canberra-based procurement specialist with experience across Commonwealth agencies — someone who's seen how evaluation panels actually score responses, and how good suppliers lose contracts because they missed a requirement buried on page 47 of an addendum.

The pattern was always the same: the winning bidders weren't necessarily more capable. They were more compliant. They structured their responses to match exactly what evaluators were scoring against. They addressed every requirement — including the ones that weren't in the compliance matrix.

BidScout exists to give every supplier that same advantage. We combine real procurement experience with AI to deliver the analysis that used to require a bid manager with 20 years of Canberra connections.

Accuracy & Trust

Why we only do tenders

General-purpose AI hallucinates. It makes things up. It sounds confident about requirements that don't exist. We built BidScout to do one thing well — analyse government tenders — with guardrails that prevent exactly that.

Grounded in your documents

Every output traces back to the specific tender package you provide. We don't generate from general knowledge — compliance items reference specific clauses and page numbers.

We never fabricate your experience

Exemplar text uses [INSERT] placeholders where your company-specific information goes. We show you what a strong answer looks like — you add the substance.

Your data stays yours

We don't store, train on, or share your tender documents or company information. You provide the tender package, we return the analysis.

Human review on every report

Every Bid Accelerator report is reviewed by someone who understands Commonwealth procurement before it reaches you.

Official data only

All contract data comes from AusTender. All analysis is grounded in the documents you provide. No scraping, no guessing, no third-party data of unknown provenance.
