How to Improve Your Bid Score Before You Hit Submit
Clear writing is not what wins a tender. Evaluators award marks against a published rubric, under time pressure, and they have to defend every number they give in moderation. What they can point to is what you score.
BidReview reads your draft against that rubric and tells you where the marks are leaking while you can still act on it.
Where Tender Points Actually Go
Claims with nothing behind them. "Proven track record", "robust methodology", "committed to quality". An evaluator has nothing to justify a high mark with, so the answer settles mid-band.
Answering the topic, not the criterion. The response reads well and scores poorly, because half of it is being marked against a requirement it never addressed.
The buried answer. Evaluators scan. An answer three paragraphs below the context gets skimmed past, and an answer that is not seen cannot be scored.
Hedging. "We would aim to", "where possible", "subject to". You mean it as care. An evaluator scanning for risk reads risk, and risk is the easiest thing to mark down.
Failed thresholds. Many tenders set a minimum score on individual criteria. One under-evidenced mandatory answer sinks an otherwise winning bid.
What You Get Back
A predicted band score per criterion with the justification behind it, a count of the proof points supporting each answer, compliance flags sorted by severity, and a ranking of which fixes would move your total score most.
It will tell you an answer lacks evidence. It will not invent the evidence - that lives in your business, in the contract you delivered and the number you measured. Finding it is the job the report hands you.
