Everything you need to find and win public work
Intelligent monitoring, plain-language bid intelligence, and a guided response workflow: one workspace, from first posting to submitted proposal.
Catch every good bid opportunity
Set your fit criteria once (sector, budget, region) and every new posting runs through it automatically. Pick a category and the board narrows to the bids that match, each scored for fit, so you skip the scrolling and see only what's worth your time.
One inbox for every portal
Flip a portal on and The Bid Company watches it continuously. One BC Bid login covers core government plus BC Hydro, WorkSafeBC and BC Housing; postings land triaged and scored, not as a raw feed you have to check every morning.
Reusable content, one click from any draft
Keep boilerplate, resumes, past awards and case studies in one place; upload a team member's resume, tag it, and it's ready to drop into the next proposal. No more digging through shared drives for the right qualifications.
Everything the Find workspace covers
Smart bid filters
Fit criteria you set once, covering sector, budget range, region, bilingual requirements, applied to every new posting automatically.
Fit scoring
Every match gets a 0–100 fit score based on your win history, not a keyword match.
Plain-language summaries
Skip the 40-page RFP PDF; get scope, budget, and requirements in a paragraph.
Deadline tracking
Every close date lands on your calendar the moment a bid is triaged.
Content library
Boilerplate, resumes, past awards and case studies stay one click from any draft.
CASL-safe outreach
Turn a scored bid into a compliant first-touch email without leaving the workspace.
From qualify to submission, one workspace
Once a bid is worth pursuing, Smartflow takes over: Intake pulls in every source document, Review drafts a response plan, Generate writes the first-pass submission from your content library, and Deliver packages it for email or portal upload, every deadline tracked against the actual submission checklist.
Pull every source document into one place.
Draft a response plan from what the tender actually asks for.
Write the first-pass submission from your content library.
Package the response; a person always makes the final call.
Open a bid, read it in a paragraph
Every bid opens to a plain-language brief: deliverables, financial parameters, and hard disqualifiers pulled straight from the tender. Know in thirty seconds what's being asked and whether you clear the mandatories, without opening a single 40-page PDF.
A fit score you can actually explain
Every bid is rated on four factors (domain fit, win probability, revenue size and urgency), each weighted and combined into a single 0–100 score. It's not a keyword match: expand any score to see exactly how it was reached, and pin a manual rating when you know better.
Price against what actually won
When a budget isn't published, The Bid Company estimates one from comparable awarded contracts, the deals that were actually won, adjusted for duration and complexity. You walk into pricing decisions with a defensible range, not a guess.
When you can't win it alone, we find who can
Some bids need a capability your team doesn't have: a certification, a sub-trade, a specialist a hundred kilometres from head office. The Marketplace matches you with vetted companies who can fill that specific gap, sourced from our own bidding network, and we're only paid when you win.
An Istari principal reaches out, or you flag a gap on a bid you’re already working.
A short profile: what you do, where, and what’s kept you off bids you should be winning.
An algorithm ranks who specifically fills your gap; an Istari principal reviews every match before you see it, never a raw score, never a fee number.
Report the award. The fee is success-based and scoped only once a real match exists.
AI-assisted matching, human-approved: a person reviews and introduces every match. No public listing of who's bidding what.
A workspace-aware assistant, one keystroke away
Ask Istari (⌘K) answers questions against your own pipeline: “which open bids close this month?”, “what did we say in our last transit proposal?”, and grounds every answer in your real bids, not a generic chatbot with no idea what Smartflow is.
