What it is
Bidwell is a web-based AI tender response platform for UK small and medium-sized businesses. It builds a knowledge base from past bids, accreditations, case studies, policies, team CVs, and a company website, then drafts answers to tender, PQQ, DDQ, and security-questionnaire questions in the user's voice. Drafts cite the source document, and users review and approve the wording before submission. Responses export to Word and Excel. Bidwell can also monitor UK tender portals, including Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, and eTendersNI. It matches opportunities by sector, CPV code, region, and contract value, with email alerts. Imports support Word, PDF, Excel, Google Drive, and company websites. A free plan includes an unlimited knowledge base; paid plans cost £20/month and £30/month, with discovery included in the latter. Bidwell says it is intended for SMBs without a dedicated bid team and not for organizations requiring SSO, enterprise procurement, or a named account manager.
