Which tenders are worth bidding on
Open tenders scored against what you deliver and what you have won before. The output is a shortlist with a reason attached to every exclusion, so a no is auditable rather than a silence.

In the order a bid actually gets decided
01
Open tenders scored against what you deliver and what you have won before. The output is a shortlist with a reason attached to every exclusion, so a no is auditable rather than a silence.
02
What this agency's tenders in this category have historically drawn. A bid is priced against the field, and the field is knowable before you commit a team to it.
03
The band awards have settled into for this agency and this category, read from the award record rather than from the estimate published alongside the notice.
04
The requirements that have disqualified bidders on comparable tenders — the ones that end a submission before anyone reads the price.
05
A first draft against the tender's own structure, with the sections that carry scoring weight marked and the boilerplate already written.
06
A checklist a person works through before anything is filed. The desk drafts; it does not submit on your behalf, and it does not pretend the last call is anyone's but yours.
