Free FM tender tools for UK bid teams

Use these public tools before you buy anything. They help you decide whether to bid, protect the deadline, find evidence gaps and check whether a draft answer is likely to read as specific enough.

  • No account required for public tools
  • Built for FM, M&E and building services
  • Decision support, not legal advice
  • Paid toolkit stays optional

Start with the job in front of you

Pick the tool that matches the problem: finding opportunities, deciding whether to bid, building the timetable, proving the answer or checking the final draft.

Use the tools in this order

The order matters. A neat answer is not enough if the bid was a poor fit, the evidence is missing or the deadline plan leaves review until the last afternoon.

Before writing

  1. Search the tender tracker for real opportunities.
  2. Use the bid/no-bid calculator to test fit.
  3. Build the win strategy before splitting up the response.
  4. Run the compliance checker before writing starts.
  5. Build the response plan for each scored quality question.
  6. Decode the evaluation criteria before drafting the answer.
  7. Build the mobilisation plan before making handover promises.
  8. Draft clarification questions before the buyer cut-off.
  9. Check pricing assumptions before commercial sign-off.
  10. Review contract risks before final approval.
  11. Build KPI and SLA evidence before writing performance-control answers.
  12. Prepare the interview or presentation proof pack before the buyer meeting.
  13. Use the site visit checklist to capture assumptions and evidence.
  14. Run the submission checklist before portal upload.
  15. Build case studies before they are needed in scored answers.
  16. Convert social value promises into measurable commitments.
  17. Build the deadline plan.
  18. Run the evidence gap checker.

Before submission

  1. Check the draft with the score diagnostic.
  2. Compare weak sections with the public guides.
  3. Preview the paid toolkit if you need editable files.
  4. Keep enough time for upload and approval.
