Features

Everything a QS needs.
Nothing they don't.

Built from the ground up for construction and engineering procurement professionals.

Arithmetic Verification

Every rate × quantity = extension is verified automatically. Calculation errors are caught and corrected before they inflate your project cost.

Completeness Check

Identifies omitted line items across submissions. Know exactly what a contractor left out — and what it would cost to include.

Market Benchmarking

Submitted rates are cross-referenced against the BidThinker benchmark database. Outliers are flagged with percentage variance and regional context.

Compliance Verification

Tracks regulatory certificates, tax clearance, professional memberships, and local compliance requirements — whatever your market demands. Never miss a flag again.

Multi-Tenderer Comparison

Compare up to 15 tenderers side-by-side with AI-generated BidScores. Rank submissions objectively and justify your recommendation with data.

Professional PDF Reports

Generate client-ready adjudication reports in seconds. Complete with executive summary, risk matrix, and recommended tenderer — your firm's name on every page.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is my tender data secure and confidential?

Yes. All documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. Your tender data is never shared with other users or used to train AI models. Each company's data is fully isolated — only your team can access your projects. BidThinker complies with applicable data protection legislation.

What file formats does BidThinker support?

BidThinker supports PDF files — both digitally-generated and scanned documents. We use Azure Document Intelligence to extract tables and line items accurately from even complex multi-page tender documents.

How many tenderers can I compare at once?

The Professional and Enterprise plans support up to 15 tenderer submissions per project. The Starter plan supports up to 5. All tenderers are analysed simultaneously and ranked using our BidScore algorithm.

Do I need technical training to use BidThinker?

No. BidThinker is designed for QS professionals, not IT teams. If you can upload a PDF and read a report, you can use BidThinker. We also provide onboarding support for all new accounts.

Can BidThinker replace my professional judgement as a QS?

No — and it's not designed to. BidThinker is a decision-support tool. It surfaces errors, flags anomalies, and benchmarks rates so you can make faster, better-informed recommendations. All final adjudication decisions remain the responsibility of the qualified QS.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You retain read-only access to your projects and reports for 90 days after cancellation so you can export everything you need. After 90 days, all data is permanently deleted in accordance with our data retention policy.
