Fictional sample data shown. The workbook organises an opportunity you have already found. It does not find, write, certify or submit tenders, and it cannot guarantee an outcome.

Why use it

Stop building trackers while the tender clock is running.

Tender work often spreads across emails, notes, folders and disconnected spreadsheets. This ready-built workbook brings the decision, requirements, response tasks, evidence, pricing, assumptions and risks into one working file.

01

Decide deliberately

Score the opportunity, resolve mandatory eligibility gates and stop a high weighted score from hiding a failed requirement.

02

Make every requirement owned

Put one requirement per row with its source, owner, evidence, reviewer and due date, so important work is not left in an inbox.

03

Find what is not ready

Review blockers, overdue work, expiring evidence, pricing, assumptions and risks from one focused Dashboard.

How it works

Move from opportunity to readiness in five steps.

You enter the facts and make the decisions. The workbook gives that work a consistent structure and surfaces incomplete, overdue or blocked items for review.

  1. 01

    Record

    Add the opportunity, official source, buyer, dates, bid lead and an internal submission target.

  2. 02

    Decide

    Assess weighted fit and resolve each mandatory eligibility gate before committing the team.

  3. 03

    Control

    Assign every requirement and response task to an owner, reviewer and due date.

  4. 04

    Prove and price

    Index the supporting evidence, build up costs and record commercial assumptions and risks.

  5. 05

    Verify

    Use the Dashboard to review decision gates, progress, blockers, price and margin before submission.

The operating system inside

Every bid control in one workbook.

Blue cells are inputs. Grey cells calculate. Green means evidenced or complete; amber means check; red is reserved for genuine blockers and overdue work.

01

Dashboard

One selected bid, with decision, days, blockers, compliance, task progress, price and margin.

02

Bid Register

A complete pursuit pipeline with deadline health, weighted value and current readiness.

03

Bid–No Bid

Weighted criteria and explicit eligibility gates. The recommendation never overrides your decision.

04

Compliance

One exact requirement per row, with source clause, owner, evidence, verifier and blocker status.

05

Response Plan

Workstreams, tasks, dependencies, owners, reviewers, hours, deadlines and QA status.

06

Evidence Library

Reusable case studies, CVs, licences, policies and certificates with expiry warnings.

07

Pricing

Direct cost, contingency, overhead, target margin, GST and assumptions by scenario.

08

Assumptions & Risks

Commercial and delivery assumptions with likelihood, impact and mitigation.

Why buy it

One file connects the decision, requirements, people, proof, price and risk.

  • Mandatory requirements remain unresolved until verified.
  • Gate failures override a high weighted bid score.
  • Tasks turn red when overdue or explicitly blocked.
  • Evidence warns before licences and policies expire.
  • Margin uses selling price—not a mistaken markup formula.
  • The internal submission target is checked against close.
