Bid Buddy sample walkthrough

A worked example of how an SME supplier might use Bid Buddy on a real mid-value notice. Figures below come from the published opportunity — not invented. Bid Buddy drafts; it does not guarantee a win or replace your own compliance checks.

1. Find the notice

   Filter £5k–£75k + SME on /tenders, or open the notice above. Confirm deadline, CPV/category, and documents on the buyer portal.

2. Open Bid Buddy on that tender

   From the tender detail, start Bid Buddy for tender #25779. You stay in control of company facts you paste in — we do not invent your experience.

3. Draft the sections that matter

   Typical SME-accessible works responses cover method, programme, risk, social value, and relevant case studies. Bid Buddy proposes first drafts from the notice + your inputs; you edit before anything leaves your desk.

4. Score, tighten, submit elsewhere

   Use scores as a checklist, not a guarantee. Final submission still goes through the buyer’s process (e.g. Find a Tender / Contracts Finder portal). CouncilIQ is not the contracting authority.
