Does the work match the business?
Consider capability, references, buyer relationship, delivery geography and whether the contract supports the business direction.
Free bid/no-bid tender scorecard
TenderCue supports a deliberate decision record. It does not predict award probability, calculate contract profitability or replace legal, commercial, delivery and procurement judgement.

Start with the non-negotiable gates
- Official source: Is the current opportunity, complete tender pack and amendment record available from the issuing portal?
- Mandatory eligibility: Can the responding entity satisfy every pass-or-fail licence, insurance, experience, certification and contractual condition?
- Deadline: Is there enough time for clarification, partner input, pricing, evidence, drafting and authorised review?
- Delivery capacity: Can the business genuinely deliver the required scope, location, timing, service levels and reporting?
- Commercial position: Are pricing risk, liability, payment timing, resourcing and opportunity cost acceptable?

Score the opportunity before committing the team
The entries stay in this browser page and disappear after reload. A zero means unknown—not a confirmed failure.
0/25Mandatory fit is unknown — verify every pass-or-fail condition before deciding.
Stop rule: A mandatory, legal, delivery or commercial failure is not cancelled by a high total. Verify the latest official documents and obtain authorised approval before committing to a bid.
Then assess the quality of the opportunity
Can each important claim be proven?
Identify current policies, certifications, insurance schedules, project records, referees and other authorised evidence before drafting.
Is the workload proportionate?
Estimate internal review, partner, pricing, document and approval effort instead of treating the closing date as the only constraint.
Who owns the final call?
Record the decision, reasons, unresolved risks and next review point so enthusiasm does not replace governance.
How the current TenderCue decision record works
Users save an official opportunity, review a point-in-time analysis and record their own bid/no-bid assessment and note. TenderCue can compare a small number of saved opportunities and connect the chosen tender to its case, evidence and response plan. The score and decision remain user-supplied; they are not a buyer score or a prediction.
- Keep mandatory gaps visible instead of averaging them away.
- Record evidence uncertainty and the person responsible for resolving it.
- State why the opportunity fits the business, not just why the buyer is attractive.
- Recheck the official listing and tender pack whenever the decision changes.
- Stop the response if a mandatory, delivery or commercial gate cannot be resolved.
Frequently asked questions
Does TenderCue decide whether a business should bid?
No. TenderCue helps structure a user-supplied assessment. The supplier remains responsible for commercial, legal, delivery and procurement judgement.
Should a high score override a missing mandatory requirement?
No. A mandatory gap can make the opportunity unsuitable regardless of an overall score. Verify every pass-or-fail condition against the official tender pack.
When should the decision be revisited?
Revisit it when an amendment, clarification, briefing outcome, partner commitment, delivery constraint or evidence issue changes the facts behind the original decision.
Does TenderCue save the free scorecard?
No. The public scorecard stays in the browser page and disappears after reload. Users can download their own CSV or Markdown decision record. Account holders can separately save a scorecard against a tender case.
